ROUZER, DANIEL - We regret to hear of the death, by drowning, of one of Dayton's best printers, last Monday--Mr. Daniel Rouzer.  Mr. Rouzer was about a middle-aged man, but had become considerably dissipated.  On the introduction of Murphyism he became a member, and, being a bright, intelligent man, soon became one of the most active workers and speakers in the Miami Valley.  Being very zealous and a good talker he soon acquired quite a reputation, and for a time did little else than go about speaking at meetings in Montgomery and adjoining counties.  It seems now, however--a fact we had not before known--that he had two or three times relapsed into his old habits, but each time had re-signed the pledge.  A week or so before the sad occurrence he again got on a spree, and was still indulging up to the fatal day.
