Dr. E. E. Roberts, age about 82, a former well-known Mt. Erie physician, died Friday at St. Joe, Ark., of a heart attack.

His health had been declining in recent months but he had not been seriously ill before his heart attack.

The body is being returned to the Dixon and Crippen Funeral Home by his brother, Arch Roberts of Hollywood, Calif., and will arrive here Tuesday evening.  Final funeral plans were not known at press hour.

Dr. Roberts practiced medicine at Mt. Erie for many years and also at Cisne but more recently at West Salem.  He retired two or three years ago and moved to Arkansas.

He was a brother of the late Mrs. O.A. Towns here and was an uncle of Mrs. Clara Lasater and Mr. Eugene Wilson, both of Fairfield.

Dr. Roberts was the son of Zadoc Roberts, an old Civil War veteran, of Mt. Erie.  His mother was the former Ellen White.  He was married to Carrie Thompson and no children were born to this union.  His wife passed away several years ago.
