It was thought at the time he returned that his condition was greatly improved.

He was one of the organizers of Company L here when the United States entered the war and served as a first lieutenant in field artillery in France.
He became assistant adjutant-general on his return from France and served in that capacity until his poor health forced him to resign.
During recent years he spent most of his time in Nashville, going occasionally to hospitals in other cities.
In addition to his father, Major Roberts is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hattie Smith Roberts; a son, W H Roberts; one brother, A H Roberts Jr; and two sisters, Mrs Paul Capps and Mrs H C Gaydes, all of Nashville.
