A Chicago exchange in speaking of the
removal of Capt. Cassius C. Roberts of
La Grange, ILL.,, to his farm home at
Kissimee, Fla, says: "Capt. Roberts lived
in Hollywood before moving to La Grange
and his years of active newspaper work
gave him wide acquaintance along the
20" from Warren avenue to Western
Springs and in Lyons and Summit Capt.
Roberts came to Chicago early in 1884
from Stockton, Maine, where he had
been engaged in shipbuilding, but when
that great industry was broken down and
the operators driven out of business, Mr..
Roberts came to Chicago impoverished,
to commence life anew. He secured
position in the stamp room of the Chicago
post office, where he was soon promoted
NOTED by Postmaster Walter c. New
berry to foreman of the mailing division,
from which he resigned when Grover
Cleveland was defeated for reelection
and commenced the publication Of the
Southwest Chicagoan, which he soon
followed with Chicago Opinion and seven
Suburban papers, three of which were in
the township of Lyons. He continued
as editor of these publications for four
teen years, meantime keeping the Millard
Avenue hotel for five years during the
Wo,lJ,c fo;r Dor;od He co1N hic poporo
in 1902, and was reinstated in post Office
by Postmaster Coyne, through G. A. r.
