    D. D. ROYER. The fertile farms of Brush Valley, Centre county, have attracted a superior class of agriculturists, men who bring to their work scientific knowledge, and whose progressive ideas are demonstrated in substantial improvements not to be excelled elsewhere. Among the most successful and progressive of these is the subject of this sketch, who resides near Rebersburg.
    Mr. Royer is a grandson of Christopher Royer, who settled in Brush Valley in 1807, and a son of Jefferson Royer, a native of Miles township, Centre county, born August 28, 1808, near Rockville. Jefferson Royer became a successful farmer, having been reared to that occupation by his father, who owned a large amount of land, which he cultivated in addition to his work as a miller and distiller. The subscription schools of that day were far from good, and the one south of Rebersburg, at which Jefferson Royer attended as a boy, was no better than others of its class. One teacher named Parkinson had a peculiar and unpleasant little habit of calling his pupils "d----d blockheads." A neighboring barn caught fire one day, and the scholars all ran out without asking permission. When they returned the teacher had disappeared, and he was never heard of afterward.
    Jefferson Royer grew to manhood at his father's home, much of his time being spent in driving a team and taking products to market. He and his brother Daniel formed a partnership in farming, and he thus managed to save some money of his own. On November 20, 1834, he was married, in Brush Valley, to Hannah Gramley, a native of Miles township, Centre county, born July 17, 1815, a daughter of George and Polly (Walburn) Gramley. He began housekeeping at the Royer homestead, but later bought a farm in Miles township which he improved and sold. He then rented a farm in Clinton county, and after a time purchased one there, but afterward he bought a new tract of land, heavily timbered, near Zion, Centre county, and lived there fifteen years, improving the place in every way. In 1869 he moved to Brush Valley, where he had bought a farm the year before, and at this place he remained until his retirement from active business, in his sixty-fifth year, when he built a home in Rebersburg in which to spend his declining years. He was fond of home, and, while he had a roving disposition, as shown by his frequent changes, he always wanted his family to accompany him. His wife died May 11, 1890, and he breathed his last November 26, 1895, both being interred at Rebersburg. He was five feet, ten inches in height, well built, and very hardy and robust, retaining his faculties fully up to his death, which occurred when he was aged eighty-seven years. In business he was successful, and his high character won him the esteem of all classes. As a Whig and later as a Republican, he was a regular voter and took keen interest in the success of his party. He served several terms as supervisor in Clinton county. He was also much interested in religious matters, and he and his wife were both members of the Evangelical Association, in which he held various offices, and was a class leader for thirty years.
    Jefferson Royer had five children, whose names with dates of birth are as follows: Magdalene, October 13, 1835, died in infancy; Jonathan, October 16, 1836, resides near Zion, Centre county; J. M., February 3, 1830, who served in Company G, 148th P. V. I., during the Civil war, died at the age of forty-seven at St. Louis, Mo., where his home was; he was married. D. D., August 15, 1846, is mentioned more fully below; and Chesty A., July 8, 1850, is now Mrs. Perry Geutzel, of Nittany Valley.
    D. D. Royer was born in Clinton county, one mile east of Clintondale,
    and attended his first school in Clinton county with Benjamin Winters as teacher. The schools of that time were inferior to those of the present, but such as they were Mr. Royer could not take full advantage of them. For two winters in succession he attended only twenty-three days in each. He was the oldest at home much of the time, and clearing land and other work interfered with his education. His own experience makes him a warm friend of better schools, in which every child may find thorough instruction.
    Mr. Royer was always at home except for a day now and then in harvest time when he could earn fifty cents for spending money, and after he came of age he worked for his father for ten years. On June 21, 1877, he was married to Miss Mary A. Roush, who was born in Gregg township, Centre county, February 1855, a daughter of Benjamin and Margaret (Hoy) Roush. Her father, who is a farmer and shoemaker by occupation, lives near Madisonburg, and is a leading citizen of that locality. Three children were born of this union: Edwin L., Kline H. and Anneata H., who are all at home. At his marriage, Mr. Royer located on his father's farm, which he now owns. The farm is a valuable one, comprising 256 acres and including a tenant farm with separate residence and other improvements. In 1892 the farm was divided and new buildings erected by Mr. Royer, which are among the most complete and modern farm structures in Centre county. Mrs. Royer owns a one-half interest in 170 acres in Spring township, Centre county.
    Mr. Royer takes great interest in the issues of the day, and in State and National affairs always votes the Republican ticket. He is, however, no office seeker, having always had plenty of his own business to occupy his time. He attends and contributes to the Evangelical Association. He is a member of the Grange, and can always be relied upon to assist in any beneficial movement in his locality.
