Read More	Funeral services were held last Thursday afternoon at the Community church for Mrs. R. F. Roberts who died January 13 in a Glenwood Springs hospital. Burial was made in Red Butte Cemetery. Anna was born December 22, 1867 at Tabor, Iowa. She came with her family to Aurora, Colorado in 1876 and in 1879 they came on towards Leadville, driving a team of horses. When the family reached Kokomo one of the horses died. The father went on to Leadville to get a job, and in the meantime the 12-year-old Ann took the horse and skidded logs for wages. Her father was successful in Leadville, went back to Kokomo with another horse and moved his family to Leadville in 1879. In 1881 the family cabin at Leadville, containing many family keepsakes and heirlooms brought over from England, burned and soon afterwards they came to Ashcroft where they remained until coming to Aspen in 1883. Mrs. Roberts had lived in the Aspen community since that time except for three or four years spent in Leadville a number of years ago. Anna married October 5, 1885 to R. F. Roberts and a good share of their married life has been spent on the Brush creek ranch. She is survived by her husband, six children Leon, Arthur, Jennie Ferguson, Clarence, Owen, and Florence Hatch, 23 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. A daughter, Wynona/Wynoma, preceded her in death. Aspen Daily Times January 22, 1942 Transcribed by Carol Moore. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Anna E.

Robert Roberts was born in Wisconsin in 1856 and travelled to Leadville in the 1880's. He married his wife Anna Sanborn in 1885. Although Roberts ran a sawmill in Leadville, he saw greater opportunities in Aspen and hauled the mill machinery over Independence Pass in the spring of 1887, by sled. The Roberts party determined that it was easier to move a heavy load across the Pass on packed snow than it was on wagons in the summer. They even had to chain the sled rails in the winter to slow down the sled as it traveled down the pass (Daily & Guenin, 1994). At the time of the 1910 census, Robert and Anna had six children including a daughter named Florence. Florence Roberts grew up and later married George E. [Elias] Hatch in 1922. The Hatches appeared to run a rather large livestock operation and acquired much of their land, now the Upper North Mesa parcel, through the Homestead Stock Raising Act in 1939. Robert Roberts died in 1947 and is buried at the Aspen Grove Cemetery. Another one of Robert and Anna's children was Arthur Bernie Roberts. He worked on the ranch and at his father’s sawmill until he became unhappy with home life and ran away. He got a job at a sawmill up the Frying Pan Valley and survived with odd jobs. One year, he got diphtheria, and a Basalt woman took him in and nursed him back to health (Andersen, 2011). Arthur Roberts later married Anita Smade Sterner whose grandparents homesteaded in the upper Brush Creek Valley and whose parents moved the family to lower Brush Creek in 1947 to what was originally the Christopher ranch, near Brush Creek and Highway 82. In addition, Art Roberts used to own the land where Ziegler Reservoir stands today. “Nearly a decade before the first chairlift ran up the Snowmass slopes, the Wisconsin family (the Zieglers) the expansive property owned by sheepherder Art Roberts and before the year was out made a deal for purchase”.
