Mrs. Roberts, the widow of G. D. (Joker) Roberts had lived in Eagle for a number of years, moving here from Minturn with Mr. Roberts in the '30s. She was chief operator for the old Eagle Telephone Co., and her husband was District Clerk and later managed a cream station in Eagle.

It was in Red Cliff that Miss Hart met and married Gordon D. Roberts.
