Sad News For Rev. Royce.

Rev. Clarence D. Royoe, pastor of the Trinity M. E. church, left for Vermillion, Ohio, last Tuesday called by a telegram informing him of the death of his brother W! L. Royce, of Columbus, Ohio. The telegram was from the latter’s wife and contained no particulars farther than the information that the brother was dead at Vermillion. Mr. Royce believes however that his brother’s death was the result of an accident, as he received a letter from him a short time ago iu which he stated that he intended to go to Vermillion on a hunting trip. The deceased was 89 years old and leaves a wife and two children at Columbus, where he was in business in connection with a building and loan association. He was getting quite well know here, from haying visited his brother several days, last fall, and again this spring.
