The maiden name of the deceased was Rosanna Hamilton. She was born in Ireland, Feb. 2, 1824, and came to this country when a small child. She was married to Stewart Roberts in New York City in 1854. To this union two children were born, who still survive, Mrs. W. J. Hanna of Wheeling, West Virginia, and Hamilton Roberts of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She also leaves eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She was married to Robert A. Hanna January 13, 1886. She was eighty-three years and twenty-three days old at the time of her death, which occurred Feb. 25, 1907. The funeral was held in Cantril at the home of her grandchild Mrs. W. W. Wellborn. She united with the Christian church many years ago and though aged and infirm was glad of an opportunity to be at services whenever she was able. She will be greatly missed for grandma was always jolly and pleasant with a greeting for all.
