COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. Page 410
T. E. ROYER, one of the most extensive land owners of Miles township. Centre county, is a veteran soldier whose gallant service in the war of the Rebellion won him lasting honor. Born September 17, 1840, he was in the full flush of manhood when, on August 25, 1862, he offered himself in his country's cause as a private in Company A, 148th P. V. L, which was recruited at Rebersburg. His first battle was at Chancellorsville, and he took part in the engagements at Mine Run, Gettysburg, Bristol Station, Auburn Mills, and all others of his regiment until, during the fierce charge made by the 148th at Spottsylvania Court House, he was disabled for such work as the members of that famous regiment were usually assigned to. The thumb and third finger of his right hand were shot away, but as soon as his wounds were healed Mr. Royer joined the Convalescent Corps, 51st Company, and remained on duty until mustered out with the rank of corporal August 25, 1865, when he returned to Brush Valley.
The Royer family were among the early settlers of Berks county, Penn., but have long been identified with Brush Valley, Christopher Royer, our subject's grandfather, having settled there in 1807. He was born June 19, 1768, and died October 16, 1849. The mill north of Rockville was built by him, and he owned a large tract of land in that vicinity. In addition to his farm work he carried on a distillery. His children were Daniel, Henry, Amos, Jefferson, Joel, Catharine, Elizabeth, Sarah and Barbara.
Henry Royer, our subject's father, was born in Snyder county (then Union county), near Middleburg, and was next to the youngest of the sons. He was a boy in his "teens" when his father came to Brush Valley, and his schooling was such as the times afforded, but his good sense and judgment made up in a large measure for lack of training. He was married in Brush Valley, when a young man, to Susan Wolfe, daughter of George 'Wolfe, and a native of Haines township. Centre county. He then located near Rockville on one of his father's farms, and followed agriculture during his active life, acquiring a fair competence, although he only lived to the age of forty-one years. He died in Sugar Valley, and his wife, who passed away before him at the age of thirty-eight, died in Brush Valley, both being buried at Rebersburg. He was a Whig, later a Republican, and was a stanch supporter of the principles of the party. In religious work he was active as a member of the Reformed Church, and he always showed hearty sympathy with any worthy improvement.
He had nine children, namely:
Joseph, who died at Howard, Centre county, was a prominent merchant and grain dealer;
T. E. is mentioned more fully below; Frank, a lumberman, resides at Loganton, Penn;
Henry G. is a resident of Johnstown, Penn. G. Scott, of Easton, is a rail- road conductor;
Annie married David Guswite, of Greene township, Clinton Co., Penn.;
Abigail married Thomas Brungart, of Sugar Valley;
Rachel is now Mrs. Andrew Ocker, of Madisonburg, and Isabella married J. D. Johnston, of Easton.
T. E. Royer was born September 17, 1840, the family then living near Rebersburg. His first school was at Tylersville, where his parents lived for awhile, and a Mr. Divens was his first teacher. Great improvement in educational facilities has been made since that time, and no one can be more heartily in favor of this progress than Mr. Royer. He certainly deserves credit for his effective use of his opportunities, his studies being pursued until he was himself qualified to teach. After hehad completed the course offered in the country schools, he studied higher branches at Rebersburg under Prof. Magee and Samuel Gramley, and when a young man he taught school in Sugar Valley, but the occupation did not agree with him and he decided to find other employment. As he was but a child when his father died, he made his home with Col. Henry Royer, near Rebersburg, and there became familiar with farm work, and he also learned the carpenter's trade under Jacob Frederick, of Aaronsburg.
In 1868 Mr. Royer married Miss Emma Haines, a native of Brush Valley, and a daughter of Jeremiah and Susan (Brungart) Haines.
