From the November 14, 1884 Spirit Lake Beacon, Spirit Lake, Iowa:

Dead

LOMBARD

In Spirit Lake, on the 10th instant, Royal P. Lombard, aged 68 years.

Father Lombard was summoned rather unexpectedly. Though not of robust nature, he has been considered in fair health, with good prospects of a long lease of life. Acute bronchitis and heart trouble sharply rounded his earthly career.

Deceased was born in Windsor, Vermont, July 14, 1821, moved to Ohio thirteen years later, and in 1846 married the wife who still survives. He came to Iowa in 1855, and from that time till 1881 lived most of the time in Carroll County. For three years and more he has lived among our people, by whom he was highly respected and warmly esteemed. A member of the M. E. Church for 28 years, he died full of faith and happiness.

D. E. Lombard and Mrs. A. E. Hamilton, the only children, were summoned, the former coming from Columbus, Ohio, the latter from Carroll County.
