Obituary -- The Cecil Whig, Elkton, Cecil County, Maryland, Saturday, March 21, 1891:

Death of a Pioneer Railroad Man.

Mr. John Perkins of this town received a telegram on Friday morning informing him of the death of his father-in-law, Mr. William Roberts which occurred at his home in Philadelphia about ten o'clock on Thursday night. Mr. Roberts who was one of the oldest railroad men in the country, was just entering his 80th year, having been born on the 14th of February 1812. He was a native of Frederick county, Md., of which county his wife who was Miss Rigney was also a native. When quite a young man he entered the U. S. mail service, then carried by stages from Baltimore to Wheeling, and afterwards entered the service of the B. & O. railroad, being the driver of the first car drawn by horses, from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills, as well as conductor of the first car after the application of steam. About the year 1850 he entered the service of the P., W. & B. railroad company, in which he remained until his retirement from active business pursuits some fifteen years ago. He enjoyed a wide circle of personal and business acquaintances, and was universally esteemed for his stern integrity and high character, a fact recognized by his company in retiring him upon full pay. Mr. Roberts was the father of twelve children, eight of whom are living, four daughters and four sons, his eldest daughter Virginia being Mrs. John Perkins, and who was with her father at his death.

He was buried in March 1891 at Green Mount Cemetery, Baltimore, MD.

     William Roberts was born circa 1821.¹ He married Amelia Gibler, daughter of Daniel J. Gibler and Maria Roush, on 3 April 1848 at Highland Co., OH, 6 children born, 4 living as of 1900 census.²

     William Roberts married Ann Mercer.

     William Calvert Roberts was born on 20 January 1880 at Baltimore, MD.¹ He was the son of William Charles Roberts and Eliza Jane Phillips.¹ William Calvert Roberts married Mabel D. Junkins, daughter of Joseph William Junkins and Alice Virginia Davis, on 4 June 1904 at Baltimore, MD.¹

     William Charles Roberts was born on 17 June 1845 at Frederick, Frederick Co., MD.^1,2 He was the son of William Roberts and Sophia E. Rigney.¹ William Charles Roberts married Eliza Jane Phillips, daughter of Christopher Cosgrove Phillips and Susannah Rebecca Nicoll, on 22 December 1863 at Baltimore, MD, eight children born, three living as of 1900 census. William Charles Roberts died on 30 October 1904 at Baltimore, MD, at age 59.¹

     William Lorman Roberts was born circa 1851 at Baltimore, MD.¹ He was the son of Edward Roberts and Anna M. (?)¹ William Lorman Roberts married Cora Smith on 7 May 1875 at Baltimore, MD. William Lorman Roberts lived in June 1880 at Eutaw Street, Baltimore Ward 14, MD.² He married Rosamond Ridgeway Passano, daughter of Leonard Passano and Parthenia Phelps, on 6 January 1881 at Baltimore, Maryland, Per Tracy Devault's research -- In the 1900 Census, Rosamond Passano is living with her father, Leonard Passano. There are two younger women living with them: Eleanor Roberts who recently married Arthur Stanley Zell (Arthur is also shown in this census record) and Parthenia D. Roberts (Parthenia is believed to be Dorothy Roberts that is shown in subsequent records). In this census record both of these women are listed as grandchildren of Leonard Passano. It seems likely that both Eleanor and Parthenia are daughters of William Lorman Roberts and Rosamond (Passano) Roberts. So far all the evidence leads to this conclusion; however, in this same census record, Rosamond says she has had two children and only one is still living. If one of these two women is not a daughter of Rosamond, it probably must be Eleanor. For the time being I am showing both Eleanor and Parthenia/Dorothy as daughters of Rosamond.

BROKER ROBERTS IN CANADA.
CREDITORS SEIZING UPON THE MISSING SPECULATOR'S EFFECTS.
Baltimore, Aug. 19. - There is now no doubt that Stock Broker William Lorman Roberts is in Canada, and has no immediate notion of returning. Business circles continued full of rumors to-day, and gradually the facts in the case are coming out. The attachment of James Little, served yesterday, was followed to-day by a large number which were placed in the hands of Sheriff Fledderman, who, with his deputies, was busy all day trying to find the property of the absentee, so that it could be levied upon. Attachments, it is understood, were laid upon some vessel interests of Mr. Roberts, and also upon other property. The Sheriff would not say much about the attachments, as he said he feared it might interfere with the end in view. Mr. Little is the Superintendent of the Pygmalion Coal Company, of West Virginia, of which Jacob H. Taylor, of this city, is President.
Mr. Little, who resides at Piedmont, West Va., had saved up $1,365, and wanted to invest it so that it would bear good interest. He sent the money to Mr. Roberts to invest for him. Hearing nothing of the investment, and reading about two weeks ago the suspension of Mr. Roberts from the New York Stock Exchange, he came on to Baltimore to investigate matters. He laid the attachment in the hands of the Bank of Baltimore, and through Thomas & Bouldin, attorneys, the case was prosecuted.
As stated in a special to THE TIMES last night Roberts is the sole Trustee of the estate of Alexander Lorman, which is estimated to amount all the way from $200,000 to $400,000. Mr. Edward Roberts, the father of the absent Mr. Roberts, was the former Trustee, and according to the will upon his death the trust devolved upon his son. William Lorman, the father of the testator, made a great fortune in the merchant marine business. He lived in a large mansion on the corner of Charles and Lexington streets, where the Central Savings Bank now stands. The mansion was surrounded by a handsome lawn, and the location at the time was the most select in the city. Mr. Edward Roberts was one of Mr. Lorman's clerks. Mr. Lorman bequeathed to him considerable money when he died.
Mr. Lorman, who had married a Miss Fulford, of Hartford County, left one son, Alexander. He remained single and in his will he appointed Mr. Roberts Trustee, and also made provisions that upon his death the trust would devolve upon William, the son. When William took up the trust, in 1880, he gave a bond for $360,000, and his bondsmen were his mother, Mrs. Roberts, and the Baltimore Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Mr. Otis Hinkley, counsel for Chancellor Bailey, of Spottsylvania, Va., who is one of the heirs of the Lorman estate, filed a petition in the City Curcuit Court asking for a Receiver on the ground that Mr. Roberts, the Trustee, had defaulted. Mr. Hinkley is also the councel of the Baltimore Safe Deposit and Trust Company.
The petition was granted, and John W. Marshall, Secretary of the Safe Deposit and Trust Company, was appointed Receiver. William T. Walters, Vice-President and acting President in the absence of Mr. B. F. Newcomer, and Mr. W.A. Wisong, Treasurer of the Safe Deposit and Trust Company, went on his bond in the sum of $300,000. Mr. Walters stated that, according to the order of the court, the box of Mr. Roberts was opened and the securities of the Lorman estate were found therein. He said there was about $300,000 in the estate.
There was very little left to-day in Roberts's handsomely furnished office in the Chamber of Commerce building. The Deputy Sheriff had all the effects removed to the auctioneer's. The last thing taken out was a small safe, which had nothing of value in it. The books, papers, and a number of other small things were left in the office and Mr. C. Goodwin, a clerk of Mr. Roberts, had these things placed in a box and, by the advice of Mr. Roberts's attorney, had them sent to his home. Mr. Goodwin stated that the office was very elegantly fitted out, and another gentleman present said that while many of the brokers' offices in New-York were larger, none were better or more finely furnished. There were three telegraph wires. The firm at one time had four wires.
Mr. Goodwin did not think that Mr. Roberts was at times accountable for what he did. He would frequently dictate matter to him, and after asking him to read over what he had said claimed that he had said nothing of the kind, but the clerk said he had taken down the statements as made by him. He said it was pretty well known that Mr. Roberts was loosing in his business transactions, but neither he nor others expected the crisis, because they believed Roberts to be a very rich man.
The young man thought that at times the transactions amounted to nearly $2,000,000, and not very long ago, he said, he was carring about a million bushels of wheat. He gave it as his opinion that the fall was caused by heavy transactions, as recently he had plunged into speculation very heavily. Mr. Goodwin said he had no idea what Mr. Roberts's indebtedness in Baltimore was, nor did he know of the creditiors.

A BOLD SPECULATOR
BROKER WILLIAM LORMAN ROBERTS GOES INTO EXILE.
A Fortune of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Staked and Lost in One Year - Heavy Debts.
BALTIMORE, August 19, - Dashing William Lorman Roberts, who had a seat in the New York Stock Exchange, but did his principal business here, where his office was at room No. 21 Chamber of Commerce building, had disappeared. The impression prevails that he is in Canada. He has been financially embarrassed for some time and only a few days ago was suspended from the New York Stock Exchange. It was not known generally, however, until today in what a serious plight he was, although a year of two ago he was worth $300,000.
He has lost it all, besides using a large sum of his mother's estate and appropriating to his own use $50,000, it is said, of securities of the Lorman estate, of which he was co-trustee with the Safe Deposit Company of this city. Besides this he owes $27,000 to Baltimore parties and $30,000 more to parties in New York.
Roberts has been an unusually bold speculator. He bought and sold everything that was in the market. He did not confine himself to stocks, but went extensively into wheat, pork, lard, cotton and oil as the fancy struck him. He has been known frequently to carry as high as 160,000 bushels of wheat, and within a few weeks he informed a friend that he was carrying 27,000 shares of stock, representing between two and three millions of dollars.
The more he lost the bolder he became until every penny of his fortune was sunk. Last Tuesday morning, it is thought, just before he disappeared, he said to a friend, "I haven't a dollar in the world, except what I have in my pocket. "How much is that?" inquired the friend, who could hardly realize that Roberts was not joking. "Twenty-seven dollars and a half." he replied.
Roberts had been for eight years, until last January, with the firm of Alexander Shaw & Co., the large coal operators. One reason why he retired from this firm was because the Shaws were not willing to let his name be put in the firm name. He had an unknown amount of self-confidence, and he decided to start out for himself, which he did by buying a seat in the New York Stock exchange for $35,000.
He is only 35 years old, tall and handsome, with dark hair, and looks like a Spaniard. He is a son of the late Edward Roberts, who died six years ago, leaving an estate of $1,000,000, the only heirs being a son and widow.
His father also left him the trusteeship of the Alexander Lorman estate, but he divided the trusteeship with the Safe Deposit Company, as he could get no one to go on the bond for the large sum required.

A BALTIMORE BROKER MISSING.
The Mysterious Disappearance of William L. Roberts.
William L. Roberts, the Baltimore broker, suspended last week by the New York stock exchange, has disappeared and left no trace as to his whereabouts. He is trustee of the Alexander Lorman estate, which is rated all the way from $400,000 to $500,000, but this money, it is said, is held by the safe deposit company as co-trustee. The sheriff, on behalf of the bank of Baltimore, which is acting for James Little, a mine owner, levied an attachment Thursday against all of Robert's visible property to satisfy a debt of $1375. Robert's office is one of the most elegantly appointed rooms in the Baltimore chamber of commerce building. With the exception of a few mining shares which have no market value, he left nothing in his office that looked like money. The safe was empty. His check books, which were lying on his desk, showed that no banking business had been done since August 1. The last seen of Roberts by his clerk was on Saturday. His life was insured for $110,000.

HEIRS PLUNDERED BY A TRUSTEE.
Baltimore. Aug. 25 (Special). - The heirs to the estate of Alexander Lorman, of which Broker William Lorman Roberts, now in Canada, was the trustee, are flocking to the city to look after their interests. It is stated that Roberts's indebtedness amounts to about $150,000, of which about $65,000 is due the trust estate. Alexander Lorman left a fortune of $1,000,000. There were originally two branches of heirs the Fulfords of Maryland, and the Chancellors of Virginia. The Fulfords' share of the estate was distributed about eight or ten years ago. The Chancellors' share was subdivided into nine parts. Four of these parts have been settled. There was about $200,000 in the rest of the estate for the other heirs. Of the heirs with whom a settlement was made one was induced to let his money stay in Mr. Robert's hands. This heir loses $15,000. In January a year ago Mr. Roberts took of his money $9,200 under the plea that he was going to invest this amount in mortgages. A rigid search of the records fails to bring to light the entries of any such mortgages. Of the securities of the unsettled estate there is, it is stated, about $50,000 missing, making with the $15,000 of the settled part $65,000 for which Mr. Roberts is criminally liable. Roberts is in Montreal, living at the Windsor Hotel.

WILLIAM LORMAN ROBERTS
Death of a Dashing Broker Recalls Remarkable Career.
Baltimore, MD, January 3 -[Special]- William Lorman Roberts, at one time a well-known stock broker of this city, and a former member of the New York Stock Exchange, died last night at the residence of his father-in-law, Leonard Passano. He was but thirty-nine years of age, and while the immediate cause was pneumonia, his nervous system had been shattered by the trouble he had brought upon himself and family by his unfortunate speculations. He was a son of the late Edward Roberts, a wealthy citizen, and the young man began his business career with Shaw Bros. of Baltimore. About three years ago he went into the stock brokerage and his career in the financial world, though but brief, made him notorious. He was the trustee of the Lorman estate, valued at over one hundred thousand dollars. Not only the ???? portion of his mother's fortune and his own but many thousands of the funds of the Lorman estate he lost in speculation. He plunged in wildly, thousands followed thousands, and in a short time he had not only ruined himself but nearly everybody connected with him. The heirs of the Lorman estate lost in the aggregate about $40,000. Roberts went to Canada where he became engaged in a bucket-shop business in Montreal. He was associated with a New Yorker, and in this venture he lost the remainder of his widowed mother's fortune. His entire losses amounted to upwards of $200,000.
Their magnificent home on Fotaw Place containing one of the handsomest private art collections in the city was sold out at auction. When by a partial settlement of the Lorman estate by his bondsmen, Roberts was permitted to return home, he was broken down in health and opened a laundry establishment but a short distance from where his broking office had been, and working hard to regain a business footing when attacked with his final illness.

Baltimore, Jan. 3 -(Special).- William Lorman Roberts, at one time a well-known stock broker of this city, and a former member of the New-York Stock Exchange, died last night at the home of his father-in-law, Leonard Passano, in this city.

About three years ago he went into stock brokerage, and his career in the financial world, though brief, made him conspicuous.

Demurrer Sustained by Judge Dennis. Judge Dennis, in the Circuit Court, yesterday sustained the demurrer to the bill of complaint of Xanthus X. Chartters, Lucy P. Guy and Chas. B. Guy, her husband, against Lorman E. Roberts, infant, and the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company of Baltimore City, as guardian. The bill set forth that Wm. Lorman Roberts was trustee of an estate in which Susan P. Chartters had a life interest, with remainder to two of the plaintiffs, her children; that the amount to which each of the children was entitled was $8,100; that Roberts sold certain stocks and securities of the trust estate, which he pretended to invest, but misappropriated to his own use, except $2,000 paid to Lucy P. Guy; that while so indebted Roberts effected life insurances in three companies for the benefit of his infant son, Lorman E. Roberts; that the premiums were paid out of funds while he was thus indebted, and that a year ago Wm. Lorman Roberts died intestate, and the proceeds of the insurance policies, $4,325.17, have been paid to the defendant guardian of Lorman E. Roberts. The court was asked to order the amount of the policies to be paid by the defendant company to the complainants. To this the defendant demurred, and the court decided that on the facts presented in the bill the court could not pass the order asked for. Leave to amend the bill was granted, if done in a limited time.
