THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, April 28, 1921

 

All of Flagler County is mourning with the immediate relatives the death of Mrs. Ophelia Roberts, for thirty­five years a resident of the Haw Creek community and one of Flagler County's most estimable and best-loved women.

Mrs. Roberts was the wife of Mr. Nathan E. Roberts; chairman of the board of county commissioners of Flagler County, and mother of Mr. Dave Roberts, mining and civil engineer of considerable prominence. She was a native of Florida, having been born and reared in Columbia County near the Suwannee River and was married to Mr. N. E. Roberts in 1882. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts moved to the Hall Creek community in 1886, and as residents of that section were among the county's most highly respected and best loved people.

Mrs. Roberts has been a lingering sufferer for the past several months and her death came as no surprise to her relatives and friends. The end came at 6:25 o'clock Friday morning the 22nd inst., the passing of this good Christian character casting heart-felt sorrow over the community where she has resided for so many rears.

She was a member of the Baptist church and the funeral was from her late residence, Rev. Murphy of Seville officiating. Interment was in the family plot at Seville Saturday.

The county joins the Tribune with deepest sympathy to the sorrowing husband and son.
