Dr. T.V. Roe was an 1877 graduate of University of Pennsylvania, School of Dentistry.

Ermina P. Palmer married T.V. Roe in 1872. Dr. T.V. Roe was later in practice with his wife Dr. E.P. Roe an 1878 graduate of Philadelphia Dental College and Garretson Hospital of Oral Surgery.

Both were listed in dental directories as in practice in Tarrytown (no address given) from 1888 to 1902 and at 301 W. Main Street Tarrytown from 1902-1918. This listing despite the fact that Ermina Roe died in 1910.

They eventually had 4 children. Two daughters in 1880 census Minnie M. And Daisy F. plus a son Townsend Veritas Roe, Jr., who was listed as a machinist. These three are linked on this memorial.

A third daughter, Daisy Frances Roe, was born in December 1879 in New York. Her death date is unknown but she was living with her parents in 1900 and listed as a bookkeeper. She eventually married Robert Barnes Green, also a dentist, who after graduation began a practice in Tarrytown and later had a branch office in Hoboken, New Jersey (1925). He was still listed in the Polk dental directory for 1928 in Tarrytown. Dr. Green attended the same school as his mother-in-law, the Philadelphia Dental College and Garretson Hospital of Oral Surgery graduating 20 years after her. His death date is also unknown to this researcher. Polk dental directories end in 1928 but the census still listed this couple in 1940 at Sand Lake, Rensselaer, New York.

An amusing incident occurred and was reported in the New York Times of 26 June 1896.

MARRIED WHILE IN CUSTODY.; Dr. Perrine of Tarrytown Unable to Take a Honeymoon Trip.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., June 25 -- Dr. George H. Perrine of Tarrytown, who was the complainant for the people in the recent trial of Dr. T.V. Roe, also of Tarrytown, a dentist, for criminal libel, which resulted in Dr. Roe's acquittal, is now a prisoner himself in the charge of the Sheriff of Westchester County, he having been indicted by the Grand Jury for criminal libel against Dr. Roe.

Dr Perrine and Dr. Roe became business rivals about two years ago, and circulated pamphlets attacking each other.
