J. Sol Roberts.

Another old soldier has answered
his last roll call. j. Sol Roberts passed
over the great beyond at $3.50 o'clock
Friday morning as peacefully and
quietly as the summer breezes.
Some weeks ago, during the early
morning hours, Mr.. Roberts left his
bed and his beloved companion to get
"a drink of water. going out on his
front porch supposedly through mis-
'take. a few days before Mrs. Roberts
had rearranged the bed room in which
they slept and Mr.. Roberts being
absent-minded in his declining years
must have mistakenly gone out on the
wrong side, for be fell from the front
porch, distance of about six feet.
AS result from the fall he broke his
right arm and his collar-bone besides
other injuries. Being IS years of age
it was readily seen by his attending
physician that the chances of recovery
were slight. However, he was show
ing signs Of Improvement until last
Wednesday when pneumonia set in
and he gradually grew worse.
In the death of Mr.. Roberts, Lex
'ington county, and South Carolina, as
well, looses an instructive nobleman.
For 35 years he and the good woman
who have lived together in life's
rugged journey have lived quietly,
.peaceably and honorably in the same
dwelling in which he died, doing unto
their neighbors as they would have
their neighbors do unto them and no
citizens of the community are held
in higher esteem than Mr.. and Mrs.
Roberts.
In the beginning of that memorable
conflict of 1851, when men left their
homes and loved ones to fight for their
country, J. Sol Roberts was one of
the first to shoulder his musket and
enter the fray. he joined Company
F., 5th South Carolina Calvary under
Capt. Caughman. Those who spoke
of him while living and those who
speak of hin now, say that no truer
or braver soldier ever entered the
American army.
Mr.. Roberts is survived by his wife,
nee Miss Catherine Oaughman and for
more than 60 years lived faithfully to
their married VOWS. two children,
Mrs. Lizzie Hammer, of Gadsden, and
John Roberts, Of near here.
J. Sol Roberts had been a member
of Providence Lutheran church since
early childhood and for many years
he had been an officer in the church.
He was true and faithful and his
smsny goodworks shall long live.
