HATTERTOWN.
CHARLES ROBERTS,

Charles Roberts, who had been sick about week, died on Thursday morn ing, November 9, aged nearly 73 years. He was born in Zoar district and had lived in this town all his life. MT Roberts was twice married, first to Polly Taylor, daughter of Sherman Taylor, of Botsford. She died many years ago. His second wife, who sur wives him, was Mary, daughter of Bradley Hull, of this place. Besides his wife he leaves three children, Homer, John and Hattie, Mrs E. Bev- ans. MT Roberts was good, honest, industrious, Christian man, and no man in this vicinity will be missed more than he. He was a friend to everybody and was erybody'S friend. He had been a member of the Baptist church at Stepney for many years. He took a deep interest in all religious gatherings in this village and helped along every good work as much as he could. Perhaps he had more than his share of this world s troubles, but when the troubles came he cheerfully assumed every burden, having faith enough to believe it was all for the best. It may we'll be said of him: "He had fought good fight, he had fin iShed his course, he had kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for him crown of righteousness.
