His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Oscar Harvy Roberts, age 45, residence Bethel, Bath Co., Ky, born 25 Nov 1872, occupation physician, nearest relative Sallie Roberts, Bethel, Ky.
His death certificate records Dr. Oscar Harvey Roberts, age 78 years 11 months 11 days, born 25 Nov 1872 in Bath Co., Ky, died 6 Nov 1951 at Mary Chiles Hospital, Mt. Sterling, Montgomery Co., Ky, residence West High St, married, occupation doctor general practice, father James Roberts, mother’s maiden name Nancy Coons, cause of death uremia, due to carcinoma of prostate, informant Mrs. Bertha Vice Roberts, burial in Long View, Bethel, Ky.
Be careful not to confuse him with Oscar Roberts born 1871 in Paducah, McCracken Co., Ky, son of Lorenzo Dow Roberts and Pheobe Kutt, who probably died before 1900, or with Oscar H. Roberts born 9 Aug 1870 in Daviess Co., Ky, son of Felix H. Roberts and Lucy Walker, who married Mollie D. Dierking and moved to St. Louis, Missouri. (Ancestry tends to suggest this Oscar’s death record as a hint for those other two Oscar Roberts.)

Daugherty, mother’s maiden name Mary H. Vice, both born in Kentucky, cause of death pulmonary tuberculosis, informant S. J. Daugherty, Flemingsburg, Ky, burial in Bethel, Ky.
