"Mr. Frank T. Royse died at his home Saturday night, near Sulphur Well. He
had been drinking Monday and Tuesday, and Tuesday evening, Dick Davis who
lives near Knob Lick, heard a noise and going in that direction he found Mr.
Royse in an unconscious condition. He took him to his house and summoned
assistance, and Wednesday evening Mr. Royse was removed to his home. The
doctors pronounced that he had taken morphine and he remained in an
unconscious condition until death claimed him. He didn't take the morphine
as a suicidal intent as it is supposed, as he was in habit of using the
drug. He was a man of high standing and of a good family. He leaves a wife
and six children."

Glasgow (KY) Weekly Times, 13 May 1896.
