(died January 1, 1897)

Mr. Royal Felton, of Norwood, died New Year’s morning at his son’s, Rev. Elbert Felton’s, in Burke. The funeral was held at our church at 12 on Monday. Rev. Dr. Bennett, his pastor at Norwood, gave a very interesting address to a large congregation. An old citizen and a good man has passed away. May his influence for good live on.
