Louis Roberson a Pecos lawman and quiet hero of the West
Louis Roberson, deputy sheriff and later sheriff of Pecos, Texas, led a low profile career marked by calm courage and numerous arrests without a gun. He and his wife Dorothy lived in the jailer’s quarters during his term. He handled notorious cases from bootleggers to the Frome murder while earning a reputation for fairness and restraint. Blanche Roberson, his wife, active in church and club work, died in 1966, followed by Louis and Ronald within a year, leaving a legacy of public service and community involvement.
