He was married July 10, 1894, to Anna Seviers of Henrietta, Texas. He is survived by her and a son (Charles) by a former marriage.

Mr. Roach and wife have been residents of Pawnee for several years, until the past few months when they moved to Tulsa. He was a good man and was highly respected by his neighbors and friends. He had been a member of the Baptist Church for the past 22 years, and the funeral was held here at the Baptist Church, Rev. CALHOON, the pastor, preaching the funeral sermon. The remains were interred in Highland Cemetery. Pawnee Courier-Dispatch and Times-Democrat, July 31, 1919
