WILL YELTON DIED AT COUNTY HOME

William F. Yelton, well known in the Story City neighborhood forty years ago and more, died Sunday morning at the county home, where he had been an inmate for some years. Will was the son of pioneer parents and was 66 years old at the time of his death. His father once operated the old Soper's mill and later ran a restaurant in Story City. Will was a character, partly because of an arrested mentality, but was always a likeable fellow. Funeral services will be held today at the Adams funeral parlor in Ames, with Rev. Davidson officiating and interment will be made in the Pleasant Grove cemetery.
