General Notes: Husband - D. D. Royer

---

He was born in Clinton County, Pennsylvania, one mile east of Clintondale, and attended his first school in Clinton County, but such as they were he could not take full advantage of them. For two winters in succession he attended only twenty-three days in each. He was the oldest at home much of the time, and clearing land and other work interfered with his education. His own experience made him a warm friend of better schools, in which every child could find thorough instruction.
He was always at home except for a day now and then in harvest time when he could earn fifty cents for spending money, and after he came of age he worked for his father for ten years.
At his marriage, he located on his father's farm, which he came to own. The farm was a valuable one, comprising 256 acres and including a tenant farm with separate residence and other improvements. In 1892 the farm was divided and new buildings erected.
Mrs. Royer owned a one-half interest in 170 acres in Spring township, Centre County.
Mr. Royer took great interest in the issues of the day, and in State and National affairs always voted the Republican ticket. He was, however, no office seeker, always having plenty of his own business to occupy his time. He attends and contributed to the Evangelical Association. He was also a member of the Grange.
