I didn't have time to extract to info I found on Y.R. Royal which appeared on the roll of the Drew Advance---------will try to get it later. I did find a short article regarding him: Arkansas Baptist Advance September 28, 1911 page 7 col 1: Rev. Y.R. Royal was for many years moderator of Bartholomew Association. He was a polished gentleman and strong preacher. He was clerk of Drew County for a number of years but did quite a great deal of preaching. Wielded a powerful influence for the Baptist cause in his day. He died soon after the war and his remains were buried near Monticello.
