Bom at Jefferson City, Mo., De cember 24, 1889, “BiU” Roth, who was a barber for 45 years, was widely known and respected. He had lived at Southern Pines since 1927. fie was the youngest and last surviving of the 15 children of the late Mr. and Mrs. William G. Roth who emigrated to the United States from Switzerland before his birth and who settled in Jefferson City. It was there that Mr. Roth met his wife, the former Mabel Whitt, a native of Greensboro, N. C., who survives. Through his wife’s connection with North Carolina, the family moved to Greensboro in 1927 and came to Southern Pines soon thereafter when Mr. Roth saw a newspaper advertisement for a barber wanted here in the shop of J. Beauchamp, located in the Mc- Brayer building, which later burned, on the site of the present Lee Store. The following year, the shop was moved to the Barnum Build ing in the location now occupied by the Linen Corner. Mr. Roth bought the shop in 1932 and mov ed it back to the McBrayer build ing. When that burned in 1934, he moved across the railroad to the location at which the shop has been since that time on N. E. Broad St. Through the years, the shop remained a congenial gath ering place where the talk often ran to baseball, one of Mr. Roth’s chief interests, and where a radio regularly brought accounts of major league games throughout the season and the World Series. Mr. Roth was a member of the First Baptist Church. He had been in poor health for more than a j car, having suffered a heart at tack in November, 1953, which kept him from his shop until March, 1954. However, he had been active recently and work ed last Friday, the day of his death. Surviving, in addition to his wife, are two daughters, Mrs. W. B. Holliday and Mrs. James W. Engebretson; a son, William G. Roth, Jr.; and eight grandchil dren. Mrs. Roth plans to reopen the barber shop under the same name when a manager for it is found, it was learned this week.

But for the record, a look at the record of the two teams shows that it is going to be a typical Aber deen-Southern Pines basketball game from the first whistle. The Red Devils have the better record. They have a veteran team unde feated so 'far as compared to two losses for the Blue Knights. South ern Pines is short on experience, but the Blue Knights are coming along, not fast but coming along. If they arrive by Friday night next, Aberdeen > will have their hands full.
