ROYCE, E.L.--Farmer, section 4, P.O. Malcom. Son of H.B. Royce, Sr. The subject of this sketch was born in Irasburgh, Vermont, July 18, 1834. In his infancy his parents moved to New York, where they resided four years, after which they came to Racine county, Wisconsin, where they resided until 1845, when they located in Rock county, residing there five years; they then moved to Marquette county, and in 1860 came to Poweshiek county. The subject of this sketch resided in what is now Sheridan township for a number of years, and moved to his present location in 1864. He married, January 8, 1873, Miss Mary G. Nutting, of Malcom township, a lady of taste and culture. By this union they have two children: Ida May and E. Ladd.
