Roberts, George W.
Dr. Geo. W. Roberts died December 25, 1886 near Bear Creek Springs, Boone county, Ark., leaving three brothers, one sister, five loving children and their devoted Christian mother.

He was born January 9, 1819 in Blount county, Tennessee, was married to Miss Jennie Loy in 1844, became a Christian in 1848 and during the remaining 18 years of his life seemed to be a very faithful follower of Jesus and was elder of the congregation where he lived at the time of his death.

He was a dear lover of music and during the last hours of his illness requested his brother and children who were present to sing How firm a foundation and On Jordan's Stormy banks I stand while he repeated them from memory.

It is comforting to known that his whole mind was engrossed in the subject of religion and that he died in the triumphs of a living faith.

According to his request J. W. Sanders preached his funeral just before his body was consigned to the tomb. May the Lord bless the bereaved family. (Information submitted by T. J. Sanders., Batavia, Ark.)

"The same year [1850], William Roberts, with members of his family, start ed for Oregon, but the lateness of the season made it impractical to atte mpt to cross the plains at that time of year and, for thatt reason, the j ourney to Oregon was abandoned." (from a sketch of the life of William Z achary Roberts, author unknown, possibly W.Z. himself...as told by Floren ce Roberts Yund, Lebanon, Ohio, 1982)
"While the rest of the family were getting ready their wagons, oxen, an d their supplies for the overland trip, it was discovered that John Clint on Roberts' young wife had a mind of her own and she steadfastly refuse d to go with them. All the members of the family tried to prevail upon he r but to no avail. The father, mother, brothers, and sisters all went wes t and settled on farms in Guthrie County, Iowa."
(Charles Jefferson Roberts, "The Hoosier Shepherd," date unknown)
