Obituary of Mrs. M. M. Yeoman.

Although Mrs. M. M. Yeoman died a month ago at Kingman, Kans., and Jasper county relatives attended the funeral, the particulars of her death have not previously been published here and at the request of relatives the following article from the Kingman Leader-Courier of Oct. 3rd, is reprinted: The citizens of Kingman and vicinity were greatly shocked last Saturday morning by the news of the death of the estimable wife of M. M. Yeoman at the family home near Almeda. Sarah Aurilla Warren was born in Jasper county, Indiana, Jan. 19, 1867, and died at her home September 28, 1912, at the age of 45 years, 8 months and 9 days. - . The years of her girlhood were spent in her native state, where she was marriecL to Mr. M. M. Yeoman, Feb. 10, 1889 Ten dear children came to bless their home. The years of happy wedded life were spent upon a farm in Jasper county, Indiana, until February, 1900, the family removed to their present home. Mrs. Yeoman was brought up by pious parents, and for many years was connected with the Presbyterian church. She was a woman of strong convictions, loving her home, ambitions for her children, faithful to her friends. It can be truthfully said of her that “she lived to serve and unselfishly gave her life for others.” The large company at the funeral services and the many kind words and floral tributes in a measure showed the esteem in which she was held. Her husband; three sons, Ralph, Frank and Harold, and three daughters, Lena, Marian and Helen, and a step-daughter, Mrs. Frank Pro, survive to mourn her departure. Besides the immediate family, there are two sisters, Mrs. Ira Yeoman, of Remington, Ind., Mrs. Flora J. Grant, of Rensselaer, Ind., and three brothers, Mr. t. N. Warren, of Rensselaer, Ind., Mr. J. F. Warren, of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Mr. E. G. Warren, of Lawton, Okla., who live to share their mutual sorrow. The funeral services were held on Monday, September 30, 1912, at the family home, and attended by many friends. The services were in charge of Rev. E. P. Elcock, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Kingman, Kansas, assisted by a quartet of the high school associates of the daughters of Mrs. Yeoman. “The heart of her husband did safely trust her,/and her children shall rise up to call her blessed.”
