On the morning of the fatal day he and his son went out to shoot a chicken. His son loaded the gun, and not feeling well, asked his father to shoot. The charge drove out the breech screw, striking Troyer's face just below the left eye, and penetrating the head so far as to fracture the skull at the back of the head. He lived only three hours after the accident. After his death the screw was extracted and found to be one and three fourths inches in length. He leaves a sorrowing wife and four children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. May their loss be his eternal gain. He had reached the age of 55 years, 1 month and 22 days. He was buried on the 4th of March, when services were held by C. Wary and Stephen Miller from John 11:25, 26, and Mark 3:35.
