Morrow who died November 25, 1907. To this union four boys were born, James Wilson of Doyle township, Thomas Adams of Los Angeles, California, Walter Abner of Knox township and Vessalius Morrow of Beaver Creek, Illinois. These with seventeen grandchildren survive. Mr. Roberts had eight brothers and one sister of whom Abner C., his twin of Criswell, Oregon, Orlando P. of Santa Rosa, California and Mary E. Chubb of Corning, Iowa are living and with the children mourn the departure from this world of one whom we feel has made it better by having lived in it. His parents came to Iowa in the early fifties purchasing the farm in Knox township which passed into the deceased brothers possession in 1867 and he has made it his home until this time. He made repeated trips west for his wife's health spending several years in Colorado and California. He was a man who cared little for this world's wealth constantly ministering to the wants of his fellow-beings. He publicly confessed his Savior, Jesus Christ, by joining the Methodist Episcopal church in his early life while at Nebraska City, Nebraska. He was a devoted Christian of the highest type both in his faith and in his works, ever ready, never waiting for the call of our Heavenly Father. The funeral was held at his home Wednesday morning conducted by Rev. Menker and the body laid to rest in Maple Hill cemetery.
