EDWARD LEWIS ROYSTON
 
Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for Edward 
Lewis Royston, at the Fruitland Methodist church, with Rev. Hall K. Wallis 
officiating.  He was born February 3, 1883 in Leadville, Colo., and died Nov. 
11, at the age of 53 years.  He had been ill for some time and was en route to 
Salt Lake for medical treatment when death overtook him while he was still on 
the train.
 
His early youth was spent in Nebraska and he came with his parents to Idaho in 
1906.  He had worked for the railroad for the past thirty years and the last 
twelve years had lived at Filer, Idaho, where he had many friends.  He was an 
active member of the Odd Fellow lodge, having held many high offices.  The 
members from Payette and several from Filer attended the services in a body 
and officiated at the grave.  The many beautiful flowers were a silent tribute 
to the high esteem in which he is held by his many friends, who with his 
family will feel his loss keenly.
 
He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Etta Royston of Fruitland, five brothers, 
John, of Proseer, Nebraska, Earl of Ashland, Ore., Charles, Schuyler and Lafe 
of Portland.  Four sisters, Mrs. Jack Oates and Mrs. Charles Davis of 
Fruitland, Mrs. Erma Jaeger of Portland, and Miss Clair Royston and other 
relatives.
 
Pall bearers were Jack Johnson, Herbert Bayer, Frank Thompson, William 
Grieggs, Clayton Stewart and Miles Farson.  Music was provided by a male 
quartet consisting of Earl Fisher, Lyle Borwn, Ben Shank and the Rev. E. J. 
Glover with Mrs. Earl Fisher as accompanist.
