John Thomas Roberts
The Fort Towson Enterprise – September 19, 1919 – transcribed by Ron Henson

    John Thomas Roberts was born in Mississippi, June 11th, 1858. He was married to Miss Nancy J. Bateman in 1880. Six children were born to them – five of whom are living. Bro. Roberts professed religion about thirty-five years ago, and joined the M.E. Church South, at Lone Star Texas, where his membership remained until his death.

    Several years ago Bro. Roberts moved to Oklahoma, and had been living in Fort Towson most of the time. He had been suffering with pellagis for over two years. He died at his home September 10th. The funeral services were held at the Swink cemetery Thursday afternoon by the writer – after which his body was buried.

    At the request of the family, thanks are hereby extended to all the friends who ministered in any way in the sickness and death of Bro. Roberts.
