ROBERTS, Donn - Putnam

A bizarre character was Donn M. Roberts, former Mayor of Terre Haute, whose death occurred Sunday at his home there where he had been taken from the hospital at the Indiana State Penitentiary because of his severe illness from heart trouble. He had been stricken at the prison. Roberts will be remembered by Putnam Co. Citizens chiefly because of his ruthlessness in elections back a quarter of a century ago to gain control of his home city's government with its attendant trimmings    --- thanks so much to Marilyn Walker for donating her wonderful Roachdale Times obituary file for use on this site
