Rosalind S. Roberts (b. Benner) (1841-1913) was born in Brooklyn, New York, and died in Manhattan, New York. In 1860 she married John L. Roberts, Jr., in Manhattan. He was a manager of the Herring Safe Company in Manhattan, and by 1880 he was working for the Prudential Life Insurance Company in East Orange, New Jersey. They later returned to Manhattan where they remained for the rest of their lives. Both Rosalind and John studied Christian Science with Mary Baker Eddy's student Laura V. Lathrop. Together they joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 6, 1894. Both were members of the General Association of Teachers, the Empire State Christian Science Institute Association of New York City, and Fifth Church of Christ, Scientist, New York, New York. They both became practitioners, and later also teachers, of Christian Science. Rosalind was listed in The Christian Science Journal from 1892 until 1913, and John was listed from 1895 until 1917. Rosalind was a friend of Alice B. Tournier, another of Lathrop's students, who was practicing Christian Science in South Orange, New Jersey. In 1897, at Eddy's request, Tournier translated Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures into French, and Rosalind collaborated with her on the project, although that translation was not ultimately published. In 1904, Rosalind served for a time in Eddy's Pleasant View Home.
