His father was 1829 James Edwin Roberts.

Edwin died in 1930, as did his daughter, 1897 Gertrude Roberts; it
seems likely that they died together, possibly in an auto accident.

He may have been married to Frances Gail Winters.

  1881 Sanna M. Roberts  dau

Sanna and Earl may have been born to Edwin's first wife.
Sanna is a common name in Dutch for a girl/woman.

They lived on East Side River Road, Nineveh (Afton) NY.
