RECORD OF IMPROVEMENTS IN ROBERTS DURING 1919
Continuing . . .
The house of John Wagner on his farm southeast of Roberts is a substantial and comfortable country home of pleasing appearance....
On north Main street Emil Seng has now in process of construction a very neat and well planned type of bungalow.
The addition just made to the J. C. Roberts home on Weldon street and one being made to the Alfred Gullett house in the country, are noteworthy by reason of the fact that the additions are really larger than the original houses; they might almost be reckoned as new buildings.
The new barn on the Fred Roeder farm is one of the finest structures of its kind in this territory, being the largest barn erected hereabouts since the building of the barn on the Thos. Currie farm, which structure it much resembles. By reason of its splendid buildings - the Roeder farm has come to be one of the show places of the township.
The new barn on the John Wagner farm, the barn building during the year for William Fuoss, and the barn completed early during the past year for L. L. Boyle and Dr. B. C. Wright are also of good type.
The only features added to Roberts' commercial sky-line were the ???? little harness shop built by Wm. Roetzel, Sr., and the small warehouse added to Edwin Whorrall's manufacturing plant.
Cribs were built by John Wagner, H. G. Stutzman, Mrs. Martha Mickens, Samuel Patton, Mrs. Mary Roberts, J. P. Russell, F. Roeder, Mrs. D. ????, Wm. Dietterle, John Rock and M. Higgins.
L. G. Chamber, W. P. ????, Edw. McGreal and Peter Freehill built hog houses, all of the improved type, having either a "saw-tooth" roof or using metal windows in the roof. The building erected by Mr. Chambers is a large affair, containing apartments for several different uses, among which is a large room for the conducting of his sales.
Remodeling or extensive repairs to residences or other buildings were undertaken by Jos. Talbot, J. C. Zahn, Wm. Dietterle, Gullett Bros., Mrs. Philip Eppelsheimer, T. W. Wakelin, Benj. Baker and John Otto; the last named did remodeling on the farm occupied by the Kietzman brothers and on the one occupied by Roy Stiener.
Fred Rueck, Thos. Hoagland and P. F. Minch built sheds for the shelter of farm machinery. Others who erected small buildings such as garages, poultry houses, etc. were J. Wagner, W. J. Talbot, Matthew Havener, L. G. Chambers, Fred Rueck, W. H. Netherton, Ellis cook, Ray Snelling, Wm. Roetzel, Jr., A. B. Umbarger, Frank Steinman, Edw. Roberts, E. Knights, G. R. Bryant, Jas. Shambrook, T. C. Dewall and Andrew Hertel.
