(from The Springdale News) Thomas Martin Roberts, 86, one of the oldest and best known citizens of the section east of Springdale, died Saturday at noon at his home near Sonora. Mr. Roberts was born October 17, 1842 at Knoxville, Tenn. and was one of 12 children. He had been a resident of Washington County for 80 years and his death occurred on the farm which his father settled in 1850. Mr. Roberts served as a soldier of the South during the Civil war and was a member of Co. K, 22nd Inf. and participated in the battles of Prairie Grove and Pea Ridge. He was a member of the Christian church and in his younger life was a minister of that church but devoted the latter years of his active life to farming.
