Lewis Henry Shroyer

Former Castalia Citizen Dies in Muskogee, Okla

Lewis Henry Shroyer, son of Solomon and Eliza Shroyer, was born in Delaware Co., Indiana, May 30, 1853, and departed this life at Muskogee, Oklahoma, June 11, 1928.

While he was a small child his parents pioneered to Iowa, settling near Castalia, in which vicinity he resided until 1898, at which time he removed to Guthrie, Oklahoma, thence to Muskogee, where he was living at the time of his fatal illness.

He was married to Eliza Waxler in June 1874, who survives him. Three children came into this home, Burton, who was drowned at the age of 17, Roy of Muskogee, and Frank of Wagoner, Oklahoma, both of whom survive to mourn his loss. One brother, Baker Shroyer, resides in Long Beach, Calif., also one grandchild.

Interment was made in Pleasant View cemetery at Castalia, Rev. D. F. Myers of the U. B. church officiating at the brief services held at the grave.

Roy Shroyer accompanied the remains here from Oklahoma and spent a few days meeting those whom he knew best when he left here thirty years ago.
