19 September 1872
--Paxton Record. 19 September 1872.
J. B. Meserve and family have at last become residents of Roberts.
Lyman Peck has commenced putting up a dwelling in town.
Another blacksmith and wagon shop in town. Tinklepaugh and Tapp are the proprietors.
L. J. Pfatt and F. E. Pettit have concluded that this place has been hotelless long enough, have secured a site, got material together, and men at work, and will push the building as fast as possible.
Another dwelling house in town, Van Antwerp from Buckley is the builder.
21 December 1871
LYMAN ITEMS
Weather fine for this season of the year.
Roads dry, smooth and somewhat dusty.
News miserably scarce. Nobody married, though rumor says that certain parties contemplate entering the married state shortly. Nobody dead. Not even a dog fight....
Our young folks had a party at F. A. Roberts new house. On Monday last. They had a very fine and enjoyable time. We were there and speak from experience.
David Howe, one of our oldest settlers, and the father of our present County Surveyor, has been suffering for some time with an asthmatic complaint and is now very unwell.
We have as yet heard nothing from anybody about putting up a hotel at this place; a splendid location for one. A lot opposite the depot building is offered, free of cost, for this purpose. Our improvement in town, for this week, is a blacksmith shop, which we have sadly needed for some time, but now the vacancy is filled with a first class workman.
The inhabitants of the south west part of our township have been treated to some miniature prairie fires -- not much in size or extent -- mere pocket editions of those we used to have four or five years ago. No damage done.
A team of horses ran away in town last week, and the way they did "git up and git" was a caution. Consequences, a goodly supply of kindling wood, and minus a wagon.
The United Presbyterian denomination are holding their quarterly meeting in the school house, just out of town.
Our township still retains a smack of its original wildness yet. A wolf was seen on section 19, in this town on Sunday last.
Since scribbling my first item the weather has changed suddenly and is now cold, and the dust I bragged about, is covered up with snow.

Yackee Blacksmiths in Roberts
A. A. YACKEE RETIRES
At the close of business next Saturday evening the firm of A. A. Yackee & Sons general blacksmiths will quit business and with their close Roberts will lose (as a business man but not as a citizen) a mechanic who has held a leading part in the industrial life of Roberts for the past forty years. A. A. Yackee will retire from actual participation in the work and will let the other fellows do the work while he looks on. The many years of service he has given the community entitles him to a rest. The other partner in the firm, W. H. Yackee, will devote all his time to the work of the firm of the Yackee Brothers, which is increasing too rapidly to permit him longer to divide his energies between the two business places.
