1. Earl Anthony Roberts Marker
Anthony is the son of William E. Roberts of Welsh ancestry, and Eudora J. Curry, of Scottish descent. His resourcefulness and industry typify his ancestors, who were among the earliest to settle in the Bahamas. Anthony left Green Turtle Cay shortly after school to work in Nassau. In 1945, he married M. Cynthia Sands and fathered two children, Craig and Stephanie. He purchased the Roberts Furniture Company in 1967 and has operated it successfully since that time. During recent years, Mr. Roberts' business foresight led him to more enterprising endeavors. He built the Centreville, Prince Charles, and Village Rad shopping centres. In 1986, the Panama chamber of commerce honoured his achievements by presenting him with the Distinguished Citizen Award for Business.
