The former Jessie Wolff was born Jan. 13, 1889 at Wis. Rapids. When she was a small child the family moved to Neillsville, where she received her education.

The couple lived in Marshfield for 18 years before returning to Neillsville.

Mrs. Roberts was a member of the United Church of Christ and its guild; a 50-year member of the Carmi Chapter, Order of Eastern Star, and a member of the auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in which she served various offices. Eastern Star rites were conducted at the Bergemann Funeral Home Sunday evening.
