The intelligence of the death of Mr. Robt. J. Stayton reached this place last Monday morning. The end came at his late home on Casey Creek, near Roley, last Saturday afternoon, after a short illness. He was in Roley, Friday afternoon, making some purchases, and left for his residence feeling in his usual health.
Upon reaching home, he became suddenly sick and a physician was called, who decided the affliction was peritonitis. The physician did everything in his power to bring relief, but the patient grew worse, dying at the time above stated.
The deceased was quite an old man, perhaps seventy-five years old, and was a good citizen, known to a great many Adair county people. He was often here as a juryman, and was familiarly called "Uncle Bob" about the courthouse.
The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon and were largely attended.
