While I was looking for something else I came across this ..... thought I'd post in case anybody is looking for him !!  Smiley

DONALDSON, ROY
ROY DONALDSON IS DEAD
One of Denver's Brighest Young Businessmen Is No. More
     
W. R. Donaldson, the Vice President and Secretary of the Sigel-Campton Live Stock Commission Company died last evening at his residence, 2635 Lafayette Street.  The cause of death was tuberculosis, although Mr. Donaldson was ill but a few days and the announcement of his death was a shock to his many friends at the yards. "Roy" Donaldson, as he was familiarly known to the habitués of the Denver Union Stockyards and to the thousands of cattlemen who make this their market, was a native of Aberdeen, Scotland.  He came to America some years ago and entered the live stock commission business with Clay, Robinson & Co., of Chicago, coming to Denver a few years ago when that company established a branch office here.  He subsequently served his connection with Clay, Robinson & Co., to accept a position with the Sigel-Champion Commission Company a few months ago Mr. Donaldson was made Secretary and Vice President.
     While working in Chicago, Mr. Donaldson contracted lung trouble, and upon removing to Denver he seemed to gain considerably in health and was able to attend almost constantly to business until about ten days ago, when the disease suddenly assumed an aggravated form.  The announcement of his death at the yards was received with sincere regret, for Roy was one of the popular young men there.  He was about 32 years of age, a thorough businessman and a royal good fellow.  His death will leave a vacancy at the yards that will be hard to fill.  He was married less than a year ago, and his young wife will have the warmest sympathy of Mr. Donaldson's many friends in her great affliction.  The arrangement for the funeral have not yet been announced, but the occasion will be respected by the stockyards people and business will be suspended during the time of the funeral.
