From the History of Centre & Clinton Counties, PA: Henry Royer (Col.) came into the valley with his father, John G., in 1811, and now owns and occupies the old homestead. He is eighty-four years of age, and is in the enjoyment of good health. To his kindness and good memory the local historian is indebted for many facts relating to the history of Miles township. Mr. Royer is married to Miss Mary Gross, of New Berlin. They had five children, -- one son, George, who died about a year ago; four daughters: Elizabeth, married to Thomas Wolfe; Phoebe, married to Daniel Brungart; Elvina, married to Aaron Creep, Sugar Valley; and Isabella, who was married to J. P. Kryder. All the daughters are living. Elvina's and Isabella's husband's are dead.

THE HISTORICAL JOURNAL: A MONTHLY RECORD OF LOCAL HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY, DEVOTED PRINCIPALLY TO NORTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. BY JOHN F. MEGINNESS, ("JOHN OF LANCASTER.") VOLUME I. WILLIAMSPORT, PA.: GAZETTE AND BULLETIN PRINTING HOUSE. 1888. The Historical Journal By John Franklin Meginness

COLONEL HENRY ROYER, of Miles Township, Centre County. Pa., was 91 years old on the 16th of April, 1887. He is the picture of health and is in the enjoyment of all his faculties: liberal-minded and intelligent, he has always been to the front when anything was to be done to promote the educational, material, or religious interests of Brush Valley. As a repository of local history of Miles and Haines Townships, he has been invaluable to those of us who have endeavored to preserve all that was valuable in that direction.
Colonel Royer's grandfather, Christopher Royer, came from the Palatinate and settled in Lancaster County. The old great-grandmother came over at the same time. She felt sadly in coming to a new country where there would be no church or ministers. The captain of the vessel, a good man, consoled her by saying "one could worship in the heart under a tree." The first sermon she heard in the new country was under an oak tree on the present site of Lancaster City.
Christopher Royer and his wife were both buried at Rap's church, Lebanon County. Their son, John George Royer, born in Bethel Township, Berks County, December 12, 1750, came to Brush Valley in 1811, and died there July 30, 1822. Four of his children grew up: Catherine, who married John Kern; Elizabeth, married Josiah Gift; Christena died single, and Colonel Henry, born within four miles of Millerstown, Berks County (Bethel Township), April 6, 1796.
When they came to Brush Valley, in 1811, there was but one house in Rebersburg (beside the church), the house in which Judge Samuel Fraaks now lives. The hotel, which was older, was burned down.
Colonel Royer owns the old homestead and farm of his father. It lies west, north, and adjoining Rebersburg, being the home and place where Conrad Reber lived, who also laid out the western part of Rebersburg in 1809, and after whom the town was named.
In these seventy six years Colonel Royer has been an eye witness of all the important changes that have occurred in the valley. When he came little land was cleared; the trees between his home and the site of Rebersburg had boon "circled," and were dead. He remembers all the old settlers. But to relate his recollections would be only to go over what Professor Henry Meyer has so ably set forth in his contribution to the history of Centre County. The Colonel thinks himself well, physically, as he can walk up from town, half a mile, to his farm and back almost daily, and he drives to Millheim and Coburn, or out the valley, six or seven miles, to visit his daughter, Widow Kryder. His memory is good ; he gives exact dates and relates in detail all the incidents of his life with no apparent effort. He spends his time principally in reading: reads and writes both in English and German, and is without question one of the most remarkable men for absolutely unimpaired faculties that I have ever heard of. He expects to bury all us historians.
Colonel Royer was married in the holidays of 1821 to Miss Mary Gross, of New Berlin. She was born September 20, 1800, and died June 25, 1883. They had five children: George, who died in 1881 ; Elizabeth, married Thomas Wolf; Phoebe, married Daniel Brungart, of Rebersburg; Elvina, married Aaron Creep, of Sugar Valley, and Isabella, widow of J. P. Kryder.
