Vine Historical Biographical Record, State of California, San Joaquin County The commercial interests of Stockton have a resourceful representative in Gilchrist P. Roberts, who as the senior member of the firm of Roberts & Clark is maintianing one of the largest planing mills in San Joaquin County. Mr. Roberts is a native of Missouri, born September 21, 1878, the son of parents who had long made that state their home. His early boyhood was spent in his native locality, where as a student in the grammar schools he was fitted to enter the high school after the family home was transferred to Stockton, Cal., this even occurring in 1896. After his graduation fron the Stockton high school he continued his studies in Stanford University and graduated from that well-known institution of learning in 1900. Leaving college, Mr. Roberts put his recently acquired knowledge to practice as bookkeeper in the planing mill of Thomas & Bell, a position which he filled with great credit to himself and with acceptability to his employers for five years, during this time also devoting much of his time to the interests of the Republican Party, having in the meantime been elected a member of the county central committee of that party. During the years spent in the mill just mentioned Mr. Roberts gained a clear and thorough understanding of the planing-mill business, which gave him the confidence to undertake a business of his own. In 1905, associated with W. X. Clark, he purchased the milling business of the Garner Lumber Company, and under the name of Roberts & Clark a general milling business has since been conducted. The plant, which covers nearly half a bock, is equipped with the latest and most approved machinery for the manufacture of outside and inside finishings for buildings, this being their specialty, although they also do a general milling business. The building covers a space of about three hundred feet square, and taken all in all the plant and equipment in general is the finest to be found in this part of the country. Mr. Roberts' marriage occurred in 1903 and united him with Miss Abbie Hammond, the daughter of John Hammond, and old resident and much respected citizen of Stockton. They have two children, G. P. Jr, and Junius D. Although much of Mr. Roberts' time is necessarily consumed in his business affairs, he yet has time to take an interested part in the welfare of this home town, and no worthy measure advanced for the betterment of conditions lacks his support and encouragement. He is also invested in a number of fraternal organizations, becoming a member of the Elks organization in 1901, and in 1908 he was elected exalted ruler of his lodge, to serve for one term. He is also a member of Truth Lodge No. 55, I.O.O.F. Stockton Record - Roberts joined the Equalization Board forces here when the tax unit was founded in 1933. Before that he had been a member of the firm of Roberts and Clark, local planing mill concern for a number of years. A member of Stockton Lodge of Elks for many years, Roberts was exalted ruler when the present Elks Building was dedicated in 1908. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Abby Hammond Roberts, and three sons, Gilchrist P. Roberts, Jr. and Junius Young Roberts of Stockton and John Hammond Roberts of Fresno. He was the brother of Mrs. Frank T. Hodgdon of Missouri and the late Mrs. J. D. Young of Stockton. Five grandchildren also survive. He was a native of Joplin, MO. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2 o'clock at the DeYoung Memorial Chapel, with the Rev. George Foster Pratt officiating.
