Obituary
It Death's Repose
On Saturday, November 12, at 6:30 a.m., occurred the death of Mrs. Emily Roberts at the Roberts homestead two miles west of town.
Emily Swan was born in Genesee county, New York, August 29, 1819. There she grew to womanhood, and taught a few terms of school. In the spring of 41' she moved to Brookville, Indiana, making the trip over land and by raft down the Ohio and Allegany rivers to Cincinnati . On February 19, 1843, she was married to Billingsley Roberts and in Brookville four of their children were born. In the spring of 53' they moved to southwest Missouri locating in Cedar county. Here they lived until the spring of 64', during which time the remaining five children were born. The last three years of their residence in Missouri was during the rebellion guerilla warfare which made life very unpleasant. Together with several other families they came to Nebraska and stopped at Nebraska City where they remained until the fall of 64' when they moved to their homestead west of this place where they have since resided.
Mrs. Roberts has been in failing health for a number of years, and while her death was not a surprise, yet the announcement caused general grief because of her long residency and large circle of friends in the community. She had attained the remarkable age of 85 years, 2 months and 15 days. Besides a husband, she leaves a son, five daughters, seventeen grand-children and eight great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon in the M. E. church conducted by Reverend Rodabaugh.
