Mattie Roberta McCrary Champion
Mattie Roberta McCrary Champion was born on November 20, 1881, the youngest daughter of Hiram David and Mollie McCrary. The town, Roberta, which grew up around the train depot was named for her since her father and James Mathews gave the right-of-way for the Atlanta and Florida Railroad Company. She married Walter Eugene Champion. She died July 20, 1977, and is buried with her family in Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery.
