Wife of William A. Roberts
William Roberts born March 1861, Cedar Bluff, Cherokee County, Alabama
and died June 29, 1954, Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee
Burial: Mission Ridge Cemetery, Rossville, Walker County, Georgia.
Hester Webb is the daughter of Joseph Webb and Nancy Rinehart of Cherokee 
County, Alabama. 

Hester P. Webb and her husband William A. Roberts ran a telephone exchange and 
store.  The story pasted down through family is that Hester was the business 
minded individual. After she pasted away, William Roberts pretty much lost 
everything or mismanaged the business.  Descendants say Hester P. Webb is 
buried in an unmarked grave, beside her son Luke at Unity Baptist Cemetery, on 
County Road #82, off County Road #75, off State Highway 68 (between Cedar Bluff 
and Gaylesville, Cherokee County, Alabama).  Luke had died in his teens. 
William A. Roberts eventually moved to Walker County, Georgia.
