John Roper
Born July 20, 1871
Died May 4, 1939
At Rest
Please note: I did a little research and found his death certificate on Ancestry.com since I was confused about the date of birth. His death certificate shows he was 68 years, 2 months and 23 days old at time of death, which would put his birth date at Feb. 11, 1871, which is what is shown on his death certificate. But this date conflicts with what is shown on his stone, except for the year of birth.
