Another Old Soldier Mustered Out.

Another old soldier answered the long roll call Wednesday when former sheriff Samuel E. Yeoman passed to the great beyond about 11:00 a. m., after a brief illness. While Mr. Yeoman had been In rather poor health for the past few years, his immediate illness started Tuesday afternoon, when, after a short walk after his oow, he returned home exhausted and sat down near his barn and his wife after considerable difficulty got him into the house. He grew rapidly worse and relapsed into unconsciousness after a time.

His temperature was weak and the doctors could not revive him. Acute Bright’s disease is given as the cause of his death. Mr. Yeoman was a veteran of the civil war and was born in Union tp.. Jasper county, in October, 1839. He was married to Miss Nancy R. Braddock in 1863, who with one son, Orrie A. Yeoman of Rensselaer, and Mrs. Gertrude Spitler of Oklahoma Oity, Okla.. survive him. One brother, William B. Yeoman of Columbia City, Ind.. and one sister, Mrs. Clevfrnger of Harrison county, Mo., also survive him.

The funeral was held at 2 p. m., yesterday from the M. E. church, Rev. C. L. Harper conducting the services, and burial made In Weston cemetery. Mrs. Spitler mas immediately appraised of her father’s death and arrived here in time for the funeral. t
