The funeral took place Sunday, and the burial was at Green Hill Cemetery. *********** FRIDAY, DEC. 28, 1900 OBITUARY. Grant Roberts was born October 24, 1866. Died December 6, 1900, aged 34 years, 2 months and 14 days. He was born on a farm in Martin county, and the early part of his life was spent there. Later he removed with his parents to Owensburg, Ind. While there at the age of fifteen he united with the Christian church and was a member at that place at the time of his death. He was married to Hattie Sable Nov. 25, 1890. To this union three daughters were born, two of whom are living, Jessie and Nina, Josephine having preceded him to the "Better Land." He was a good husband and kind father, and will be missed very much in his home. He never missed an opportunity to help any one in distress. I will mention one occasion in particular where he after a hard day's work found a man, who had been hurt on the section, and after the car had been put away found it impossible to walk home. He went home and found his supper ready, but would not stay to eat, but went to the barn and hitched up his buggy and took the man home. He had been feeling bad for about two weeks before he took his bed, and was only confined to his home 11 days. He felt from the first that he would never recover. He said he would like to live and raise his children, but if it had to be it was all right. He suffered a great deal, but did not complain. He is at rest from earthly troubles, and blessed are the merciful.
