I can answer this one for you, at least partially, because this one in part of my family group. The child born is Thomas W. Roberts, child of Arthur "Sandy" Roberts (1876-1930) and his second wife, Emmaetty Longdon. I can't tell you who his parents were, because I've never been able to find out, BUT I can tell you he had siblings William, Minnie, Laura and James. And I can give you his obituary. From "The Higbee News" From "The Higbee News" 17 July 1930--ARTHUR ROBERTS DEAD--Arthur Roberts, more familiarly known to Higbee folks as"Sandy," died at his home in Mexico, on July 9th as briefly mentioned in our last issue, of asthma, from which he had been a great sufferer for several years. Deceased was born on September 1, 1876, in Macon county, and was married to Bertha Hillman of Bevier that county, in 1895, and who died in 1908. In 1913 he was married to Mrs. Etta Mitchell of Novinger, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Longdon of this place, and is survived by her and five sons, Arthur, Ernest and Charles Roberts of Midwest, Wyo., two step-sons, Raymond Mitchell of Mexico, and Mike Mitchell of Ottumwa, Ia., and John and Thomas Roberts of the home. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Laura Jones. West Plains, Mo, Mrs. Minnie Hurley, Ridge, Mont., and one brother, William Roberts, of Detroit, Mich, and a large number of nephews and nieces and many more distant relatives and a host of friends. The body was brought to the home of his son-in-law,(Note: should be father-in-law) Thos. Longdon, where funeral services were held Friday afternoon in thepresence of a large crowd of neighbors and friends despite the almost unbearable heat, the services being conducted by the Rev.Earl Locke of the Methodist church, and interment made in the city cemetery. Mr. Roberts was a resident of Higbee for many years and was an honest and hard working man who had the respect of all who knew him.
