One of the letters he received
during the day was from his
grandson. Trilby Graves, superin-
tendent of Crowell public schools,
and was written in eulogy of his
grandfather's life and influence.
It is such a true epitome of tbs
honoree’a life that excerpts from
it will be given in this writeup of
the event. Mr. Graves voiced his
appreciation of his grandfather by
using his name of "Roberts," the
first letter of which stood in his
mind for “Reader of the Bible.”
He recalled the many times he
had watched his grandfather read-
ing this Book of All Books around
the old family fireside. The "0”
stood for “Onward.” Never had he
known his grandfather to retreat
He likened him to the drummer
boy, who, when Napoleon ordered
him to beat a retreat during one
of his great battles, said, “Sire, I
don’t know how to beat a retreat;
I have never been taught that,
but I can beat a charge, oh, I can
beat a charge that would make
the dead fall In line.” The next
letter, “B" stood for “Beautiful

to radiance that flows from the
Almighty throne is the light of a
noble and beautiful life.” The let-
ter “E” meant to the writer, “Even

had acauired through years of pa-

name stood for “Reconciled to
God.” The greatest sorrows and
trials that have come to this man
f>n God have only served to make
him submissive to the will of His
Father. The letter “T” stood for
“True,” which has ever been one
of the most admirable traits of

The letter “S” means to his fam-

true of Mr. Roberts who has ever
proven a sincere friend to all
whose lives have in any way come
in contact with his.

With Birthday Dinner
One of the most joyful events
of this week was the celebration
of the 90th birthday of I. N. Rob-
erts, lovingly known to his friends
as “Uncle Ike,” which was ob-
served Monday, November 24, by
his children and grandchildren who
met at his home, on West Green
street
Mr. Roberts has never broken
up his home, his daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. j
Graves, having come to live with
him several years ago to take care
qf him in his old age, surround-
ing him with such love and atten-
tion that his declining .days have
been filled with peace, happiness
and supreme contentment.
The celebration of his birthday
Monday was a great surprise to
Mr. Roberts, who had completely
forgotten the significance of the
day. When his children and grand-
children began arriving and he
was told the reason for the cele-
bration, he was pleased as if he
had turned back the years to a
date in his early childhood.
Great baskets of good things to
eat had been prepared and brought
in by his family who assisted Mrs.
Graves in arranging the food on
Lyndsay and Wylie Phillips, Wil-
liam Clay, Ralpn Robinson, Win-
