Richard J. Roberts, Former Cambrian, Passed Away at Home in Decatur Last 
Sunday

R. R. Davis of Ebensburg has received word from Miss Mabel Roberts of 
Decatur, Ill., that her father, Richard J. Roberts, a former Cambria 
countian, died last Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The funeral was held at 
2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, interment being made at Decatur.

Mr. Roberts was born in Cambria Township, living for some time on the Adam 
Shettig farm, now occupied by Gust Illig.  The deceased learned the 
carpenter trade with the late Ex-Sheriff John A. Blair and lived in 
Ebensburg, leaving here about fifty years ago.  He returned but once for a 
visit, that being in 1865.  He would have been 78 years old next March.
