Wikipedia August 22, 2023: (Albert Houston Roberts (July 4, 1868 - June 25, 1946) was an American politician, educator, and jurist. He served as the 33rd governor of Tennessee from 1919 to 1921, having previously served as a state court judge and as principal of the Alpine Institute. Roberts was born in the community of Alpine in Overton County, Tennessee... In 1881, his family moved to Columbus, Kansas. He returned to Tennessee in 1886, however, where he attended Hiwassee College in Madisonville, earning his B.A. in 1889. Roberts was admitted to the bar in 1894, and practiced law in the nearby county seat, Livingston. In 1910, he was elected Chancellor of the Fourth Judicial District, which covered fifteen Middle Tennessee counties. After his term as governor, Roberts practiced law in Nashville, initially in partnership with James W. Cooper (1921-1925), and afterward with his son, Albert H. Roberts Jr. (1925-1946), and Theodore Trimmier McCarley. He died in Nashville on June 25, 1946, and is buried in the Good Hope Cemetery in Livingston. Political party: Democratic)
