CHAPTER
II.
V. CHRISTIAN ROYER, p.
178, w as the second child and oldest son
of the family and was born yet in Lanc, Co., being a
babe in
his mother's arms when his parents in 1800 moved to Md.
He re-
mained on the home farm of his father at Meadow Branch
until his
marriage which occurred Mar. 27, 1827; his wife being
Miss Mary
Geiman, who was born Feb. 15, 1808; and died July 28,
1901. After
his marriage moved to the farm of his father, known in
the will as
farm No. 3, situated in Bachman's Valley, Carroll Co.
Christian
had a reputation as a farmer. He was perhaps the champion
crad-
ler in the county. The scythe of his cradle was sixty-three
inches
in length and he could cut a twelve foot swath. On one
occasion
he cut a twenty acre oats field in two days. He always
led the crad
lers.
He was a minister in the
Church of the Brethren, was never or-
dained to the eldership, nor was he a very able speaker.
He was
wise in counsel, well versed in the Scripture and a good
German
scholar. He was a man famous for his charity, which reputation
was not confined to his immediate neighborhood but was
generally
known throughout the county. "He has" wrote
Mr. Huber, "at
this writing been dead nearly a quarter of a century,
and it is a fact
that his good deeds are still fresh in the memory of
those who knew
him." The name of his wife is also highly venerated,
especially by
