Elwin Roberts of Sweden Valley, taken to the State Hospital for the Insane at Warren, Tuesday of last week, died as a result of improper treatment accorded him in that institution at an early hour Thursday morning. A brief mention was made In the Enterprise last week of Roberts having been taken to Warren for treatment. As a result of the death of the patient, Herbert Johnson of Jamestown, 32, was held on a murder charge. Clifford Delp was held as a material witness. As soon as the hospital authorities learned of the death the authorities were called in and arrests were made. A coroner's jury heard the evidence in the case and Friday they rendered a verdict that Roberts "had come to his death as a result of improper treatment contrary to the rules of the institution and poor health." County Commissioners Benson, Howland and Nuschke, Dr. Robert McConeghy and Claude Roberts, a brother of the dead man, visited Warren Thursday to learn what they could in connection with the fatality. Johnson was advised by his ttorney not to testify at the inquest, but Delp told of the rough treatment accorded the patient, stating that a towel had been twisted about his neck, and physicians who performed an autopsy stated they found abrasions and bruises on the man's neck and body. The remains were brought to the late home and funeral service was held from the church at Sweden Valley, Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, with Rev. George G. Burke, pastor of the Free Methodist Church at Coudersport, officiating. There was a very large attendance at the last sad rites showing the respect neighbors had for Mr. Roberts. - Burial was made in the Sweden Hill Cemetery. Surviving the deceased is - his aged mother, Mrs. Hoxy Roberts, - also a brother mentioned above and seven sisters. The sisters are: - Mrs. Nellie Hill, Florida; - Mrs. Minnie Crosby, Austin; - Mrs. Lena Whiteman, Salamanca; - Mrs. Myrtle Leonard, Bradford; - Mrs. Esther Baker, Inez; - Mrs. Ella Bowes, Cleveland, Ohio; - Mrs. Lida Corey, Sweden Valley.

I found Elwin in my Ancestry.com family. His parents were Hoxsie Samuel Roberts & Armenia Victoria Holden. His death certificate didn't use the word "murder" but it indicates his death was due to a "trauma during struggle" He shows up as my 2nd cousin 3x removed but for some members of this group, such as Linda Corey, he would be their grand uncle. 2You and 1 other Like Comments 20200404HAv- 20180203 RVA- Hoxsie Roberts Family casarein casarein originally shared this on 25 Dec 2014 Linked To Emma Viola Roberts ?
