Do You Remember

Away Back When in the spring of 1872, J. B. Meserve purchased a lot and had a home built in the Village of Roberts which was a new town being built on the Gilman, Clinton & Springfield Railway? And do you know that the home he built then was torn down this week after having served its purpose for sixty-six years more than half a century of which it was known as the William Wakelin home? Thus is one more old land mark gone.

--Roberts Herald. 2 March 1938.
