Teacher (2nd & 3rd grades), 1950-1953

Edith Reynolds Roberts was a teacher of second and third grade students at Pine Mountain Settlement School from September 1950 until May 1953. She was married to Dr. Leonard Ward Roberts who taught English in seventh and eighth grades at the School during that time.

Mrs. Roberts was born on August 31, 1915, in Phyllis (Pike County), Kentucky. She was the daughter of Miles and Polly Ann Justice Reynolds, whose other children included Ervel Reynolds, Clara Dawson, Merle Wright, Perry Finis Reynolds (Dayton, OH), Frennie Warren Reynolds (Dayton, OH), and Zelda Bertrand (Feds Creek, KY).

At the time of Edith Roberts’ death at age 94 on May 17, 2010, she was a retired school teacher in Pike County, teaching last at Jackson Rowe Elementary School. She had been a member of the Pikeville First Presbyterian Church, Women’s Circle at the Church, and the Kentucky Retired Teachers Association. She was buried in the Davidson Memorial Gardens at Ivel, KY. In lieu of flowers, the family had requested that contributions be made to Pine Mountain Settlement School.

Dr. Roberts was born in 1912 and died April 29, 1983, as a result of injuries he received in a car-coal truck collision. Dr. and Mrs. Roberts are survived by their four daughters: Sue Carolyn Atkins (Jeffersonville, IN), Margaret Ann Biller (Harold, KY), Rita Helen Kelly (Sanford, NC), and Lynneda Jane Denny (Pikeville, KY).
