The year of 1922 was a sad year for both George Anthony Roberts and Lucy L. (Cadwallader) Frank. On the 17th of January, John lost his wife of almost 37 years, Ella Viola (Daniel) Roberts; they had four children together (one did not survive infancy). Just ten days later, his father, John Roberts, passed away. Lucy’s husband of 29 years, John A. Frank, passed away on the 16th of March; they had two children together. The families had been living in the Prairie City, Iowa, area, so likely knew each other.

At the age of 63, George married Lucy, who was 50 at the time.

  1. We apologize for the poor quality of these photos. They were taken from a video that included family pictures, but they were not scanned at the time. In fact, scanners may not have been readily available when this was done, but at least we can see how sweet the couple looked on their wedding day.  (Wedding happiness is not just for the young!)

George A. Roberts, Sr., 1930s?

If memory serves, the above picture was taken in Florida, where George loved to go fishing. As one who had been a farmer and stockman through cold Illinois and Iowa winters since he was a boy, it is no wonder he loved Florida. George had suffered with severe sciatica and rheumatism as an adult- in fact, at one point it was so bad that he had to re-learn how to walk. So the warm Florida sun must have felt great for an old farmer’s bones, and spirit.

George travelled frequently to Florida with his second wife, Lucy L. (Cadwalader) [Frank] Roberts. They married three years after his first wife, Ella V. (Daniel) Roberts, died in 1922. (He lost both his wife and his father, John Roberts, that year.) His grandson, Edward A. McMurray, Jr., spoke of how much “Daddy George” enjoyed those trips, and how many fish they caught.
