  Son of George & Elizabeth(Miller) Royer ROYER. ­ On the 12th of August 1895, in Sterling, Ill., of heart failure, George M. Royer, aged 62 years, 6 months and 15 days. This sudden death caused a profound sensation in the city, as it was supposed by many of his acquaintances that he was in good health. He was down town Monday, greeting his friends in his usual cordial manner, and up to the hour of his death gave no evidence that dissolution was so near. The fatal stroke come over him suddenly as he sat in his chair at 7.15 o'clock in the evening. Sister Royer and family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. The funeral was held Wednesday August 14th at 1 30 o'clock at the residence, conducted by E. Brown, and at 3 o'clock at the Mennonite Church near Sterling, conducted by Philip Nice, where a large concourse of people had gathered to pay the last token of respect to a man that was universally respected and esteemed. He was of quiet demeanor, upright, honest and fair with his fellowmen in all his dealings, and as husband and father, friend and citizen he was esteemed for his many good traits of character. Interment in adjoining Cemetery. MennObits
