"She was a consistent member, of the Methodist church for over 50 years. She and her husband were baptized together.

"Mother Yeatts was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, a devotional Christian and a kind neighbor, and will be missed in these resources of life, for she always administered to all needs of the suffering.

"The funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Woodward, and Elder Vest, of the Brethren church at Stonewall, on the 11th, after which she was laid to rest on the Yeatts burying ground near her house.

"The pall bearers were her grandsons and the flower girls were her grand daughters. her grave was literally covered with beautiful flowers showing the esteem in which she was held.

"Mother Yeatts was confined to her bed for nearly a year and all that loving hands could do was done for her, but in all this time she never complained and would say she was so much trouble and on the day she died she offered up two most beautiful prayers.

"We do not think of mother as being dead, but only as moving out of the house of clay and going home with Jesus to stay in that beautiful home of the soul whose gates are of pearl and the streets are of gold, that beautiful home of the soul, and we feel sure she is in the sun light of God. Yes, mother, we deeply feel, but we know our loss is your eternal gain.

Written by her daughter and son, Virginia and Flurnoy Yeatts circa December 13, 1927.2
