Roy Seymour, aged 26, died at midnight Sunday night at Agatha hospital, where he has been a patient sufferer with pleuro-pneumonia three days. His sickness began one week ago, and his early death comes as a great shock to his family, as it was entirely unexpected.

The young man was born in Clinton October 4, 1889. He is the son of Mrs. Eliza Seymour, who made her home with him and his family at 419 Fifteenth avenue. Six years ago he was married to Miss Martha Petersen, who with one little daughter, Everne, four years old, survives him.

One brother and two sisters are also left. They are Harvey E., Mrs. Milton McCune, Clinton, and Mrs. Clarence Reynolds, Cedar Rapids.

The funeral will be held at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday at the First Presbyterian church. The Rev. H. J. Rendall will officiate.
