Research status

Research status: PROBABLE daughter of Henry S. Roberts and Rose Alice Williams, called Etta, born February 1881 in West Virginia; probably the Mrs. James C. Kyle of Bridgeport, Ohio. Evidence: the report of the Martins Ferry accident of February 1919 names Mrs. Henry Roberts “and her two daughters, Mrs. James C. Kyle, aged 39 … Mrs. Florence E. Zane, aged 37, of 921 Market street” S1648; an Etta is in her parents’ 1900 household. Added to the family tree on 10 October 2026

Evidence: The report of the Martins Ferry accident of February 1919 names Mrs. Henry Roberts “and her two daughters, Mrs. James C. Kyle, aged 39 … Mrs. Florence E. Zane, aged 37” (S1648); an Etta, born February 1881, is in her parents’ 1900 household. Weak or missing: The paper gives only her married name; that Mrs. Kyle is the Etta of the 1900 household rests on two census readings; the newspaper was read as machine-read text, not from the page; no marriage or death record has been found.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
