Bishop Robert R. Roberts Memorial
WWeary from the day's
ride, with evening fast approaching, the Bishop often found
himself between lodging accomodations along the trail, At such
times he would sleep on the ground. His saddlebags, containing
his Bible and personal belongings in one side and oats for his
horse in the other, would be removed and hung over a tree branch.
This allowed the horse access to the food while the Bishop
concentrated on his evening prayers and devotions. He would then
retire under the stars, holding the reins in his hand through the
night.
What more fitting tribute than a limestone carving as pictured
below.
