YARBROUGH, NETTIE
[D. 21 Jan 1905]
Obituary
On the morning of Jan. 21, 1905,
the death angel passed through our
community and claimed as its victim Mrs. Nettie Yarbrough, wife of
Jim Yarbrough. She was a loving
wife and mother. How feeble are
words to carry consolation to hearts
bereaved of a loved one. No one can
fill her place in the vacant chair. No
one will take her place in our hearts.
It will be a blessed recollection that
she grew up to love and be loved by
those who will ever cherish her memory so tenderly.
Perhaps it was best that her life
went out so soon with the trials that
meet struggling humankind on every
side, with the sorrows that line the
pathway from childhood to old age.
Who can contemplate the passing of
this soul thus into the beautiful beyond without feeling that possibly
our loss is to her soul a great gain.
She has gone over the river a little
in advance of us. Some one must go
first. Perhaps in the way of kind
providence it is best that it should be
her who is to make her husband and
children’s
welcome sweet on the other side. She leaves a husband and
three little children and many relatives and friends to morn her loss.
The church and community has suffered a great loss in her death. We
believe she is with Christ and the angels, with the pure ones from earth
in that celestial city praising God today and gladdening the hearts of all
that enter the gates of heaven. May
God ever bless and prosper the bereaved. A Friend
YARB[R]OUGH, WILL
[D. 1 Nov 1909]
The Dead
Will Yarb[r]ough
Will Yarb[r]ough, born March 28th,
1869, died November 1st, 1909, aged
39 years, 8 months and 3 days. Mr.
Yarb[r]ough had been sick about three
weeks, yet his death came as quite a
shock to his many friends in McKenzie and surrounding community where
he was highly respected.
He was a quiet useful citizen, a
man who attended strictly to his own
affairs, a hard worker, one in whom
the utmost confidence could be placed
and he will be missed in his
|
community where he was always found espousing the right side of all questions
forthe betterment of his section.
In 1894 he married Miss Dena Gilbert, sister of J. B. Gilbert, editor of
the Carroll County Democrat at Huntingdon, and to this union was born
one son, who with the widow are the
only members of his immediate family
left to mourn his death.
Will Yarb[r]ough lived a life worthy
of pattern. He has left a priceless
heritage to his son--that of a good
name. His character is worthy of
praise, for the country did not have
a better citizen, and his death is a
distinct loss to our section.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at his late residence, five miles east
of McKenzie, in Henry county, by his
pastor, Rev. R. C. McElroy, and the
burial followed Wednesday at Concord
in Carroll county.
May the young men of our community study his life and try to walk
as he did, and grow up to be honest
Christian citizens so it can be said
of them when they have passed away
that a good man has fallen.
