Mrs. Roberts was stricken with paralysis a few days before her death, as mentioned last week. She was born in Ohio, March 20, 1809, and was married to Isaiah Roberts in 1836, and they moved to the home where she has since resided in 1850. Mrs. Roberts was a noble Christian lady and lived and died respected and beloved by all who knew her. Her funeral on Sunday was a large one, the services being conducted by the venerable Elder A. H. McCrary, who had been her neighbor and fiend 32 years.
