ROYER ITEMS.
Death and Burial of Henry Shingler.

It is with deep regret that we note the death and burial of Mr. Henry
Shingler, of Martinsburg, formerly of this place.  He moved to the
above place about two years ago, where he engaged in farming for Mr.
S. T. Knox, of Altoona.  Mr. Shingler was well known throughout this
community, as he had lived here for many years.  As a man he was quiet
and gentle in manners, always honest, industrious and a Christian
gentleman.  He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of this
place for many years, always at the front in the promotion of God's
kingdom and cause here on earth, and looked forward to a bright and
happy home in the other world.  The funeral cortege arrived in this
place about 11 o'clock and proceeded to the church where the funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. J. B. Brenaman, of Martinsburg, assisted
by Rev. Frank Leidy, of Williamsburg.  The sermon was an able one and
contained many words of comfort for the bereaved family and relatives.
After this an opportunity was given to those who wished to take a last
look at their friend.  They then proceeded to the grave where
interment was made in the Mountain cemetery.  The friends have the
sympathy of the entire community.
