| Little is known about Elish Roberts. Even
the exact date of his death is unknown, other
than at some point he found his way to Lockney,
Texas shortly after the West Texas town was
founded. It is the circumstances, time and place
of his death that brought him lasting notoriety.
Roberts is the first person to be buried in the Lockney
Cemetery. He was caught with another man's
wife sometime in 1890. The resulting gunfight ended the
life of Elish Roberts. His story is still studied in the
local schools.
