On April 4, 1941, in Pontotoc County, Mississippi, a baby boy was born to Johnny Mitchell Roberson and Christanna Ball Roberson. At an early age, Hermon professed his hope in Christ as his Lord and Savior. He became a member of Cherry Creek M.B. Church, where he remained until death.
Hermon was united in marriage to Earline Hampton Roberson on February 2, 1962. They celebrated 60 years of marriage. To this union five children were born, one daughter and four sons. He was affectionately known as Paw Paw.
Over the years, he worked at Progressive Shoe Shop, DeVille Furniture, and Sealy Home Furniture (Ellis Home Furniture). He was a skilled framer and could build anything. After retiring, Hermon was an avid gardener and could grow anything. He enjoyed the fresh air on his porch, riding his John Deere, and cutting his grass. He loved a manicured lawn.
