Following Dreams with Joy in Easton’s Williamsburg Neighborhood by Tracey F. Johns

Leethian, or Lee, Roberts, 66, lives and works on his family’s two-acre property in Easton’s Williamsburg neighborhood, near the home where he continues today working and dreaming with joy and love in his heart. Roberts was the last born of six children to Mable (nee Williams) of Williamsburg and the Rev. James Thomas Roberts of Easton, Md. He

was born premature as a lone-surviving triplet. The family’s home at that time was a one-room dwelling that once served as a chicken coop. The outline of the original structure can still be seen as part of the home’s larger footprint today, which includes five major additions the family pieced together over the years while operating a yard maintenance business.
