MR. G. B. ROBERTS
Last Friday Mr. G.B. Roberts died at his home in this city after a brief illness with pneumonia superinduced by la grippe. Deceased was a native of Alabama, was married in that state and in company with Capt. A.G. Campbell and ex-Sheriff Lewis he came to Texas in 1875 and located temporarily at Port Sullivan, cultivating a rented farm. In 1877 he removed to Yarrellton, where he purchased some land and improved a home, residing there until a few years ago when he removed to Cameron. . . . His wife and six children survive him. His two oldest daughters and his oldest son are married. Some years ago his brother and his brother's wife died leaving a little girl, who has since been as one of Berry's children. The married daughters reside in Cameron and the married son lives at Corn Hill.
The remains were interred at 10:30 o'clock last Saturday morning in Oak Hill cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. L.R. Scarborough, assisted by Rev. James Kilgore, at the Baptist church, of which Mr. Roberts was a member. A large concourse attended the funeral, and many of his devoted friends of a life time gave him a parting tear. Requiescat in pace.
