Royce were deeply shocked Sunday morning at 10 o'clock when her body was found in the Mississippi River at a point not for from her home. Mrs Royce had been suffering from a nervous disorder for some time having been under the doctor's care and it is believed her illness impelled her to end her life. Mrs Royce was employed by the Rosamond Woolen Company up to the time of her death. She was at the mill Friday, and Saturday did her housework. She seemed to be in her usual health and on Saturday evening, Mrs Royce and her husband and son listened to the radio until 10.30. She went to bed at that time and at 11 o'clock Mr Royce retired. On Sunday morning he got up at 6.30, thinking that his wife was still asleep. At 9.30 o'clock her son came down stairs and asked where his mother was. A search showed she was not in the house and Mr Royce thought perhaps she had gone to the home of her mother, who lived nearby. Eventually a general search was made and her body was found in the river. An inquest was deemed unnecessary and the body was removed to the undertaker's parlours, thence to her home, where the funeral service was conducted by Rev Mr MacCrimmon on Tuesday at two o'clock. Interment was made at the Auld Kirk cemetery. Mrs Royce was of a very quiet disposition, was a splendid neighbour and loving wife and mother. She was born in Darling Township, April 26th, 1892. To mourn her loss is her husband and son; her mother, two sisters and three brothers. One sister died six years ago. The funeral was largely attended and among the floral offerings were a wreath from her husband and son, a pillow from her mother, sisters and brothers; a spray from Mr and Mrs John Munro and family; a wreath from Mr and Mrs Wesley Millar and family; a pillow from the employees finishing department Rosamond Woolen Company; a spray from the teacher and pupils of the entrance class; a wreath from the Houston family; a spray from Mr and Mrs Harry Sadler and a spray from Miss J.S. Edmonds. The pallbearers were her two brothers, William and Harry McGee; her three cousins, Harry McGee, Willie Munro and Herbert Giles and Harry Sadler.
