Harry F. Royer  Indiana County Gazette   2/2/1910

Harry F. Royer, of Greensburg, a shoe salesman known over the whole of
Westmoreland and neighboring counties, died at 12:50 Tuesday at the 
Westmoreland hospital, from injuries received in a railroad accident at New
Florence shortly before 10 o'clock that morning.  While waiting for west bound 
train No. 33, at New Florence, Mr. Royer walked down to the end of the station
platform. Seeing his train suddenly round the curve, he turned and ran back 
toward the station. As he did so, he approached the tracks too closely and was 
struck by the train he was waiting to board. His right leg was ground off just 
below the knee and in addition, his head was badly crushed.  The injured man 
was picked up and taken to Greensburg on the same train which caused the 
accident. At no time from his admission to the hospital until his death, which 
occurred two hours after, did he regain consciousness. Mrs. Royer and his
children, Robert, William and Emily, were with him at the time of his death.
His elder sons, Frank and Edgar, who are a Senior and Freshman respectively,
at Lafayette college, were notified at once of the accident. Mr. Royer was 
about fifty years old and for the past thirty years, has been employed by one 
firm, the Weimer, Wright & Watkins Shoe Co., of Philadelphia.
