Last Friday afternoon, Mrs. Nannie Royse, who was in her eightieth year, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. Frank Reynolds. She had been in declining health for several months, with diseases incident to old age.
She was born and reared in Adair county, and was a daughter of "Uncle" Johnny Conover. When quite a young woman she was married to Felix G. Royse, who died many years ago. To them several sons and daughters were born, C.R. and Sam Royse and Mrs. J. Frank Reynolds being three of the number.
She was a consistent member of the Baptist Church, but the funeral services, which were held at the home of C.R. Royse, were conducted by Rev. Jesse L. Murrell, of the Methodist Church. In testimony of her Christian character and her neighborly disposition, a large circle of friends gathered to pay their last respects to neighbor and friend.
After services, the remains were conveyed to the family graveyard, on the farm of Sam Royse, where they were deposited by the side of her husband. The News extends condolence to the surviving children in this the hour of their great sorrow. (The Adair County News, Sep 8, 1920)
