In Memoriam.

Flatonia, May 21, 1900.

On Friday of last week the remains of the lamented H. W. Yeager were laid to rest in the city cemetery. A large concourse of relatives and friends followed them to the grave. The Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member conducted the sad and solemn rites. Mr. Yeager was born in High Hill on March the 27th, 1862. His parents moved to Flatonia a number of years ago. After having received a good education he became a clerk in his father’s store, and after a time a member of the highly respected and prosperous firm, Yeager and Sons. About 10 years ago he married Miss Lillie Amsler with whom he lived, during 6 years, a happy life. At the end of this time his beloved wife died, leaving no children. He never fully recovered from this shock. Sometime ago he contracted the dreadful disease consumption and died on the night of the 18th inst. Mr. Yeager was a pleasant companion, strictly upright, and always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. His father who died here 5 years ago was one of the oldest settlers. Born in Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, he landed in New York, in 1844. He went to Baton Rouge, La., in 1847 and from there he came to Texas in 1851. His mother, a venerable matron came to Texas in 1845. The other yet living members of the family are Mr. F. P. Yeager, of Flatonia; George Yeager, of Yoakum, Ben Yeager, of Port Lavaca; and Mrs. M. Fernau and Mrs. A. Sloma, of Flatonia, and Mrs. A.

YOUNG

The Galveston Daily News, 27 May 1876, page 2

FAYETTE COUNTY.

. . . The Record gives the following statment of the killing of a Mr. Young, by his step-son, Edwin Blackwell. The mother of the latter married Mr. Young some two years ago contrary to the wishes of her son. He and Young had had some difficulty. Some time ago, however, he had left home and resided in the neighborhood of Weimar, and returned home about four weeks previous to the killing. It seems that on the day previous he had borrowed a rifle of a neighbor, saying he was going hunting. The parties had no difficulty since the young man had returned home. While getting a buggy out of the buggy-house Blackwell shot him from a window of a shedroom of the dwelling. The shot went through his heart and killed him instantly. Blackwell, after the shooting, mounted a horse and went off, and has not yet been found.
