"Lifelong Citizen Called".-- Thomas M. Roberts, prominent citizen of the west side, democratic worker, a former member of the board of supervisors, many years a justice of the peace in his home precinct, died last Thursday, April 20, at his home between Thurman and Tabor after an illness extending over several months. Mr. Roberts was born about one mile from the place that has been his home since his marriage to Dora Campbell, more than fifty years ago. He had reached the age of 79 years, 8 months, 16 days. He was one of eleven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Abe Roberts, all of whom have passed away except one sister, Mrs. Hattie Moore of Tabor, and one brother, Newton Moore, Tacoma, Washington. Mr. Roberts has been a very successful farmer and his farm home was one of the show places of that community. He was well informed on current events, was a man of decided convictions, but ever tolerant of the opinions of others if they ran contrary to his own. Besides his wife, he is survived by four children, Mrs. Mabel Smith of Tabor; Mrs. Ruth Kroon, Fremont, Nebraska; Mark, Shannon City Iowa; Earl of Presho, South Dakota, together with many relatives of lesser degree and a host of friends, as was evidenced by the large crowd which gathered from all parts of the county to attend the funeral on Saturday. Services were conducted by Supt. Lee of Bartlett and burial was made in the Thurman cemetery.
