Professor at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Sunday, October 15, 1933, p. 1:
Prof. Charles H. Roberts, 72, head of the history department of Texas Christian University, died last night at his home, 915 East Weatherford Street, after an illness of three weeks.
For 54 years a teacher in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, he had been a member of the faculty of T. C. U. since the school was moved here from Waco 24 years ago. He first headed the preparatory department of the university, and about 12 years ago was made head of its department of history.
Because of ill health, he relinquished his teaching duties after the first week of the present session. The poor state of his health led authorities of the university to urge him to retire last year, but he insisted on keeping up his duties to round out what he thought was his fiftieth year as a teacher. A later check showed, however, that his teaching experience had extended over 54 years.
Before coming here, Professor Roberts had taught in the public schools of Oklahoma and in the teachers college at Edmond. While in the latter post, he wrote a textbook on the history and civics of Oklahoma.
Professor Roberts had taken his bachelor of arts degree from Kansas State Normal College in 1895, but he earned another from T. C. U. in 1914 while he was head of its preparatory department. He received his M. A. degree from T. C. U. in 1916, and more recently did graduate work at Columbia University.
His wife, formerly a public school teacher, also, and for a time assistant librarian at T. C. U., died several years ago. The only immediate surviving relative is a daughter, Miss Carol Jim Roberts, a teacher of English at Central High School.
For many years, Professor Roberts had been an elder in the First Christian Church.
The body, pending funeral arrangements, is at Robertson-Mueller-Harper Funeral Temple.
