The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Sunday at 2:30 p.m. with the sermon by Rev. J. E.

Other family and friends were present from New London and Nichols. Mrs. Isabel Roberts was born at Middletown, Ohio May 25, 1843 age 78 years and 16 days when she passed away. Her parents were William and Mary Caparoon who were natives of the state of Delaware and moved to Louisa County in 1855. The family home for the greater portion of the years was in Morning Sun. Her parents died here her father December 5, 1861, her mother February 16, 1806(incorrect dates). She was the second child of eight children her brothers and sisters were Isaac M.

The deceased was married December 17, 1871 to Alcinous Roberts at the home of her mother in the Virginia Grove neighborhood of Louisa County.

As a woman she was highly thought of by all who knew her a noble and loving wife and mother. Toiling and sacrificing for the truest and highest living and happiness of her children. She was a devote Christian doing the best for her family and the kingdom of God and the good of the world. In her busy life she had enjoyed good health until about six years ago when she had a stroke of paralysis which rendered one of her hands entirely useless she was never heard to complain doing all she could for herself and husband. Last Sunday morning while sitting in her chair she was stricken again and she was able to talk a little for a day or two but sank rapidly until 1 o'clock Friday morning when she passed from this life to her heavenly home. Her husband, children and loved ones have the deepest sympathy of the community and all who knew her. At her request no flowers were placed on her casket but loving friends brought many to the church and the grave. Source: Morning Sun News-Herald, June 16, 1921
