ROPER (b 20 Feb 1892 or 1894 - Wood, OH, d 17 Sep 1914 - Phoenix, Maricopa, AZ), son of Walter T. ROPER (b Apr 1868 - Freedom Township, Wood County, OH, d 25 Oct 1930 - Toledo, Lucas County, OH) and Lillian E. PITNER is available online from the website of the Arizona Department of Health Services at http://genealogy.az.gov/search.asp . That death certificate shows that Forrest P. ROPER died on 17 Sep 1914 in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, of tuberculosis. He seems to have contracted tuberculosis about two years earlier while still residing in Ohio. Forrest's date of birth is shown only as February 20. His age is shown as 22, but this is somewhat inconsistent with the information in the 1900 United States Census, whixh shows his birth as in Feb 1894. But that same record shows him to be age 8. And Forrest P. ROPER was shown to be age 18 at the date of the 1910 Census enumeration, so this is consistent with his being age 22 in 1914 with birth year 1892. Forrest P. ROPER is shown to be the son of Walter ROPER and Lillian PITNER. The deceased is shown to have resided at 705 East Willetta Street, Phoenix. He seems to have worked in Phoenix as a Bookkeeper. He was Single at the date of his death. He is shown to have been removed from Arizona on 18 Sep 1914 following his death for for subsequent burial in Toledo, Ohio.
