ROBERTS Mary Abbie Palmer was born in Mount Carroll, Illinois, June 22, 1868 and lived there for thirteen years. In 1881 she moved with her parents to Red Oak, Iowa and remained there until her marriage to John W. Roberts, March 28, 1894, when she came to the St. Edward community and continued to reside here until her death, February 7th, 1930. She was the mother of seven children: Mrs. Thomas Dixon, Mrs. Leslie Goin, Clarence, Glenn and Etta, all living in this neighborhood, and two others who died in infancy. Her husband died April 6, 1929 and in less than a year she followed him in death. Besides her five children, four grandchildren also survive. From early childhood her life was one of sacrifice for others and forgetfulness of self, first in her parents home, and later in her own home. When endowed with motherhood her children occupied her every thought and no labor in their behalf, did she count too great. Future years for her children will hold nothing more beautiful than the memory of their mother's unfailing devotion, and her friends will remember her as one on whom they could always depend when opportunity came to serve. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts both united with the Methodist church by letter in 1920 and continued faithful members until death called them Home. Mrs. Roberts' health began to fail shortly after the death of Mr. Roberts last April, and for many months she had been a constant sufferer, lingering day to day; there were times the last six weeks when her death was expected hourly. Sorely as she will be missed in the home circle, not one of her children would express to this world where she underwent such pain and sorrow. Following a short service at the home at 2 o'clock, funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 2:30 from the M. E. church, Rev. W. W. Hull officiating. At the request of the family, his text was chosen from Mrs. Roberts' favorite passage of scripture, found in the first three verses of the fourteenth chapter of St. John. Music was furnished by a mixed quartette, composed of Messrs. L. E. Morris and Hugh Linn and Mrs. Frank Sokol and Miss Vera Peterson. The church was well filled with friends and neighbors who gathered in tribute to this good mother. Burial was made beside her husband in the family lot at Evergreen Cemetery. The body was tenderly laid to rest by Chas. Shaffer, Ed Hall, Garrett Mason, Paul Greig, Richard Cruise and Ross Smith, all neighbors and old friends of many years standing. Those present from a distance were the deceased's brother, John Palmer and wife of Emerson, Iowa, another brother, Alfred Palmer of Brady, Nebr., Mrs. Henry Weiland and son, Ralph, of Omaha, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Graham of Cozad, Nebr. A large number of relatives and friends also came from Columbus, Albion, Lindsay and Ewing.
