I have an old studio photograph of Kenneth “Ken” Evans ROBERTS which was taken when he was 3 years and 3 months old and 3 ft 5 inches tall and weighed 40 ½ lbs. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Ken and his family:
Kenneth Evans ROBERTS was b. 4 Jan 1897 in Minneapolis, MN to parents David E. ROBERTS (1866-1950) and Sarah “Sadie” A. EVANS (1866-1936). Kenneth had one sibling, a sister Lois B. ROBERTS (1893-1957). Kenneth married Lida Margaret KINNEAR (1898-1983) on 9 Jul 1923 in Tacoma, WA and they had a son, Kinnear Kenneth ROBERTS (1929-1986).
Kenneth died 28 May 1981 in Aberdeen, WA and is buried in the Fern Hill Cemetery in Aberdeen.
I am hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
