Obituary
Mille Yarnall was born in Vermillion Co., Ill. May 25th, 1833, was married to Moses Alfrey August 17th 1854 and died June 13th 1892. She leaves 5 children: 2 sons and 3 daughters to mourn her loss. This sad bereavement falls heavily on the family and friends, but what is their loss is her gain. She said that she did not expect to get well, but that it was all right for she had found a loving Savior when but a child and that he would carry her through the valley and shadow of death. The children can truly take comfort in the blesses assurance that Mother has gone where sorrows and cares never come.
We have given our mother to Jesus, her angle form has flown, but O how sadly we miss her, and how lonely our home. Our hearts seem almost breaking, and tears as bitter we shed, for every hour we are reminded that our precious mother is dead. No more shall we see our dear mother, no more her sweet voice shall we hear, till we too go home to our Savior and there will be dried every tear.
