About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This cemetery is located in the southwest quarter of Section 26, Township 23 South, Range 1 West. It was first affiliated with the German Baptist Brethren congregation, which established a church at this site in 1886 on land donated by Reuben Royer, a deacon in the German Baptist Brethren Church. In 1918 the church moved into the city of Newton, and the rural church was reorganized as a German Baptist Brethren affiliate and named the Royer Community Church. This church operated until 1934 and the church building was demolished about 1940. Most burials are of Brethren church members but has been open to the public. The cemetery receives little maintenance and the remaining gravestones are hidden in tall prairie grass.

Royer and Church of God of the Firstborn Cemetery (#2676703) are on the same land. They ARE two different cemeteries but on the same acreage. Royer is on the West side and Church of God is on the East portion.
