       Emma Roberts was born on August 9, 1922 in Davenport, Iowa.  Emma passed away on May 25, 2010 at Pioneer Manor in Hay Springs.  She spent her earliest years in Iowa before moving to Henry, Nebraska to live with her sister Nellie and Brother Roy.  She married Charles Roberts in 1952 and lived her married life on a ranch north of Guernsey, Wyoming.  To this marriage, two children were born, Marie Dreyer and Rosie Roberts. 

     After Charles passed away in 1987, Emma lived in the Ponderosa Villa in Crawford.  She moved to Pioneer Manor in the fall of 2009 to be closer to her daughter Marie.
