KLAMATH STAR, MAY 9, 1895
Mitchell Haynes Royce, wife of Eld. Arthur Royce and daughter of David and E.J. Haynes, was born near Whiteboro, Grayson County, Texas, April 5, 1871 and died in Klamath County, Oregon, April 28, 1895. When only a small girl, with her parents, she moved from her Texas home and settled in Clackamas County, Oregon. After six years the family removed to Klamath County, where they still reside.
Mrs. Royce was religiously inclined from early childhood. When most children of her age would be thinking of fun and frolic, she would be dwelling on serious thoughts and speculating with reference to the deep mysteries of human life. At the age of ten years she gave herself of Jesus, trusting Him as her personal Redeemer, and when thirteen years old united with the Baptist Church at Oregon City, Oregon, being baptised by Eld. J.H. Teale, now of Portland.
Her Christian life was one of power. She had strong convictions of duty continually adhered to them. Her chief aim was to lead sinners to Christ, and as a teacher of the young she was peculiarly adapted.
When only thirteen years of age, by reasons of her precocity, and close application as a student, Mrs. Royce was qualified to teach, and consequently she began teaching in the public schools of Clackamas county and continued with marked success in the profession there, and elsewhere for a number of years.
In 1889 she entered McMinnville, Oregon and from a scientific course of that institution in June of 1892. While there she formed the acquaintance of Arthur Royce, himself a member of the same class, to whom she married September 4, 1893. As a wife, she was unusually devoted to husband and was in truth a help-mate to him. She was a strong believer in the purity of home life, and bent on her energies toward making home pleasant. The underlying cause of our sister's death is thought to have been tuberculosis, aggravated, if not produced by a fall which she recieved from a runaway buggy in 1892. Her death came unexpected as she had been under the care of a physician a number of months and was thought, even by her physician, that her ailment was one that would ever prove fatal. Her last days were spent in a semi-unconsious, and comatose state so that she was unable to talk, but we are confident, could she have expressed herself as ready to go, she died the death of the righteous.
Sister Royse was a noble Christian woman in many ways. Her ideal of a Christian was high and she endeavored to live up to it. She delighted in the study of the Bible and lived much in the atmosphere of Prayer. In a remarkable degree did she possess the grace of patience and Christian fortitude. But she is gone. Earth is impoverished but heaven enriched. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, from hence forth; yea saith the spirit, they do rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
We live in hope of resurrection, we take consolation from the words of Paul to the Thessalonians; "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so also they that sleep in Jesus, shall God bring with him."
