Biographical Data
History of Buchanan County Missouri
St. Joseph M0, Union Historical Co., l88l.

Settlement of Bloomington Township
Among the earliest settlers of what is now Bloomington Township, was Hiram Roberts. He came to the vicinity of DeKalb in 1836, a year before the county was opened for settlement.
As soon as it was known that squatters had invaded the county, United States troops from Fort Leavenworth were sent to dispossess them. Perhaps the only man who escaped the vigilance of the military was Hiram Roberts, who happened to be over looked, from the secluded location he then occupied.
He lived many years afterward in DeKalb; was a Justice of the Peace; kept the hotel of the town for several years, and was a popular and highly respected citizen. He died in DeKalb, April 25, 1881, at the ripe age of 79 years. Five days after, his wife of nearly equal age with himself, was buried. The inscription on their monument in the cemetery at DeKalb reads as follows:
Hiram Roberts, born Dec. 6, 1801; died April 25, 1881, aged 79 years, 4 months and 19 days. Rachael Roberts, born March 18, 1802; died April 27, l88l, aged 79 years, l month and 9 days.
