Mrs. Roberts, who was 76, had been a prominent figure in village church and social affairs for many years, coming to the comment with her husband in about 1890 from New Hampshire. Both Mr. and Mrs. Roberts joined in the activities of the community. She was a member of the Nineteenth Century club, which she attended regularly as long as she was able, and was one of the original officers of the Oak Park chapter, order of the Eastern Star, which she helped to organize. In her more active years she had been interested in golf, playing at the Oak Park Country club.
With her family, she had spent the summer months at their home at Silvar (sic?) Beach on White Lake, Mich., for many years, considering the lake resort a second home.
She leaves her husband, E. E. Roberts; a son, Elmer C. Roberts of Oak Park, a daughter, Margaret Roberts Dre, wife of the late Howard S. Drew, and a grandson, Howard Roberts Drew, now in the Army Air corps, stationed at Sioux Falls, S. D.
