Passing of Miss Kate Roberts

  ADDISON, March 14 - Miss Kate Roberts died Tuesday, March 7, at the age of 84 
years, 9 months and 21 days.  She was born May 16, 1859, the daughter of Charles

three brothers, Albert, Frank B. and William.
  Funeral services were held at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr.

Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she was a life-long member.  Interment was 
made in the Addison Cemetery in the Roberts family lot, by mortician Harry B. 
Rishebarger.  The floral tributes were beautiful.  Pallbearers were Charles H. 
Bird, Frank L. Jefferys, John Hetrek, John Van Sickle, and Nelson and George
