ROYCE, CHARLES V. - On Friday, Oct. 2d, at midnight, Mr. Charles V. Royce, of typhoid fever, in the 54th year of his age. Mr. Royce had been connected with the Clerk's office here for ten years and at the time of his death was Clerk of the District and Common Pleas Courts of Miami County. His loss will be deeply felt by the bar of this judicial District. He was remarkable for the energy, decision and promptness, with which he performed all his duties both official and private. Mr. Royce was a communicant of the Protestant Episcopal Church and one of its main supports. He died as he had lived, a firm believer in the gospel of the son of God, and in good hope of the resurrection unto eternal life. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of citizens, at which the Rev. Mr. Cummings officiated. All feel that a good man has passed away from earth, and that he is now at rest. T.
