Mrs. Roberts was one of Payette's most loveable women, she was one of the staunch members of the Methodist church of Payette, and took an active part in social and civic affairs of the community, and her parting from this life is a loss not only to her immediate family, but to many warm friends of Payette. She was born at Grandview, Iowa, October 12th, 1866, and was married to J. E. Roberts, January 28th, 1886 at Audubon, Iowa. Besides her husband she is survived by two sons and two daughters, Elsie Roberts and V. L. Roberts of Payette; Ralph Roberts of Klamath Falls, Oregon; and Dorathy Roberts-Loughery of Boise, also one sister and four brothers.
