Chas. Yance, a young man down near Northboro, met a horrible death last week while working at a threshing machine. It is said he was clearing out clogged wet straw from the blowing attachment while the machine was running as he had frequently done, when a belt broke and is supposed to have
caught him and hurled him against the machine crushing his person terribly and completely severing an arm from his body. He died without gaining consciousness. Men frequently become too careless around machinery. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 13, 1902

The other children had the whopping cough so hard. They are better. People here say they never knew the disease to be so hard as it is this year. One babe the age of our own, in spite of medical skill, its head burst, and others suffered and died in different ways but our own baby just slept its little life away the last week."

DEPARTED SOLDIER HONORED BY COMRADES
Ralph Yaryan Given Military Funeral.  Was 168th Inf. Veteran
The final service over the remains of a Clarinda boy who died as a direct result of fighting in France, were performed Tuesday afternoon, when Ralph Yaryan was carried to his resting place, honored by friends and comrades.
The services were largely military, Sergy Post turning out very well, and were especially attended by Co. F. men, Ralph's old company, with whom he enlisted and went overseas. The pallbearers were men picked from this company, Villisca also sending a representation.
The services at the church were simple but touching. The Methodist quartette sang three hymns, one of them being "My Jesus, As Thou Wilt". Both Rev. J. M. Williams of Clarinda and Rev. A. S. Woodard of Shenandoah spoke very highly of the character of the young man, each one telling of personal instances where he had shown himself to be of the highest type of manhood.
The procession to the cemetery was headed by the guarded colors, followed by a band composed of both the Junior and Senior organizations. The Post men marched ahead of the hearse, which was flanked by the pall bearers and guarded by the firing squad. At the grave, Post Chaplain R. C. Snodgrass pronounced the final benediction, the firing squad gave the parting three volleys, and taps were sounded.
The following brief history read by Rev. Williams at the services tells the story:
"Ralph Yaryan, younger son of William F. and Delia A. Yaryan, was born at St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 30, 1900, and died at Clarinda, la., on Saturday, Oct. 16, 1920. His age at his death was 20 years, 6 months and 16 days. Ralph came to Clarinda with his parents when but a small boy of four years and has lived in this community until the time of his death. All of his school days were spent here, and all of his childhood and young manhood associations. He was in his first year in the high school when we became involved in the world war. He heard his country's call and could not resist the impulse of a patriotic spirit to offer himself as a soldier. He accordingly enlisted with Company F, 168th Infantry, 42nd Division, and went with the boys of Villisca and Clarinda to the red battlefields of Europe.   He was a good soldier, as all of his comrades will testify. It was at the 26th day of July, 1918, during the decisive battle of Chateau Thierry, when the onrushing hordes of Huns struck a thin line of American soldiers and marines, that proved to be a stone wall, the 42nd  being   shock  troops   in this fight, and in it Ralph went down in a gas attack, that took a number of his comrades at the time. From this attack, he never recovered. He was sent to a hospital in France, and from there came to Fort Riley, Kan. but spending the most of his time in the government   hospital   at St. Louis and in the local hospitals in Clarinda. He made a brave fight for life,   and at   times it seemed that perhaps the miraculous would happen and he would pull through, but the severity of the attack and a constitutional predisposition proven too much for him, and he went out on last Saturday afternoon as a brave soldier should. Recently while at St. Louis, he seemed to feel that the fight was a losing one and his great desire was to   return to Clarinda, and spend his last hours among old friends and comrades.   This desire was gratified.  Ralph was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and Sunday school of Clarinda. His red star upon the service flag of the church has turned to gold, and golden will  be his memory  in the hearts of his friends. Besides his parents, he leaves a brother, Roy, of Detroit, Mich. A little sister has preceded him in death. He was a universal favorite, and a good boy." CLARINDA HERALD and CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, iowa, Oct 21, 1920

FATAL ACCIDENT AT NORWICH
Charles Yates Killed in a Runaway There Sunday Evening.
Special to the Herald, from J. B. Blair.
Norwich, Iowa, May 7th, 1900.— A horrible accident in which Mr. Chas. Yates loses his life occurred on the road two miles northeast of here Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Yates, accompanied by a young son, had been visiting with relatives a few miles east, and were returning home late in the evening, when in crossing a small culvert near J. R. Lawson's farm, a loose plank tipped up, which frightened the young and fiery team, causing them to reverse their course, in which Mr. Yates became unbalanced, the team became unmanageable. Mrs. Yates and her son made their escape by leaping from the buggy. Mr. Yates became entangled between the double trees and wheels of the vehicle and was dead when the team was captured by H. Anderson near E. Lafferty's residence. Mr. Lafferty was called, and hastened to the scene. Mr. Yates had passed his place twice during the day, and Mr. Lafferty had beckoned and spoken to him but a few moments before the accident. His horrible surprise can be better imagined than told.
The dying man had been carried in this condition a distance of three quarters of a mile. His head and body were badly mangled and life was extinct when found.
Charley Gear made a flying trip for Dr. R. Wallace, who held an inquest with E. Lafferty, Mr. Gear, T. J. Gwynn, J. K. Knight, W. P. Lancaster and Mr. Burns, as jurors, who returned a verdict that Charles Yates came to his death by accident, as here reported. E. Lafferty, H. Anderson, and a party whose name has not been obtained gave testimony as to the occurrence of the accident whicia.resulted in the death of Chas. Yates. The deceased was a well-to-do farmer living one mile north and two miles west of Norwich and four miles east of Shenandoah. He leaves a large family to mourn his departure.
Mrs. Yates received slight injuries in her escape from the buggy, but her excitement and prostration over the fate of her husband were heart rend ing to those who saw the awful occurrence.
The family truly have the profound sympathy of all who know them in their sad bereavement. We are informed that the remains will be interred in the Shenandoah cemetery Tuesday afternoon. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 8, 1900

A PIONEER PREACHER DIES.
Rev. William Yockey Passes Away At Braddyville

On Friday afternoon, December 31st, at 2:30 p. m., occurred the funeral of Wm. Yockey in the M. E. church at Braddyville. The many flowers showed the kindly regard and affection of his neighbors and friends. A touching sermon was preached by Rev. D. I. Hower. The music was furnished by a quartet who sang the old gospel hymns Mr. Yockey loved so much. After the funeral the body lay in state at the church until train time, when it was taken to Elliott, Iowa. At Elliott the family was met by a host of sympathizing friends who have known Mr. Yockey since he first came to Iowa in 1871. On Saturday morning at 10 a. m. a funeral service was held at Pilot Grove Center church, five miles from Elliott. This service was conducted by Rev. B. F. Stratton assisted by Rev. Friedline. The beautiful decoration of the church, also of the grave showed the high esteem in which Mr. Yockey was held by the neighbors and friends who have known him so well. Mr. Yockey's children are widely scattered; Mrs. S. P. Heilman and Mrs. E. E. Simpson, Watertown, S. D., Mrs. R. C. Askey, Chicago, Ill., Milton Yockey, Carroll, Iowa, Mildred Yockey, Seattle, Wash., Mila Yockey, Indianola, Iowa, and Vera Yockey, Chappel, Nebr.
William Yockey was born in Kiaga Falls, Ohio, June 11th, 1835, and went to be with God December 30, 1909. He emigrated to Madison, Wis., with his parents when but a child of eleven years. Here he received his education and grew to manhood. When yet very young he became a teacher in the public schools and was successful in the work.
Later, he became a carpenter and followed this trade for some time, then his attention was turned to farming. He moved to Red Oak, Iowa, in 1871, and remained in that part of the state until 1893; when he moved to Nodaway county, Missouri. Four years later he came to Braddyville.
He was married to Miss Martha Petit November 26, 1856. From this union three children surrvive him. Twenty-one years after his marriage the angel   of death came and took the wife and mother from the home. May 30, 1880, he was married to Elizabeth Damon, who helped to share in the care of his motherless children. To this union there were given four children, three of whom were with him to comfort him in his last hours on earth. After ten years the angel of death came again and took from the home the wife and mother. In 1892, March the 8th, he was married to Mrs. N. A. Plehn, who came to share with him the responsibilities of the home.
For six long   years   Bro. Yockey was   an   intense   physical sufferer and the nature of his   disease was of such a character   that he could not have battled   with    it so long had it not been   for   the untiring effort, devotion and sacrifice of Sister Yockey whose trained eye and skilled hand and sympathetic heart was ever alert to his every need.
Bro. Yockey was converted and gave his heart to God when a young man twenty-one years of age. The church reeogaized his ability and gave him license to preach in 1870. He made use of his talents with which God had blessed him. While in Wisconsin he did the pioneer work of the Methodist preacher, working through the week and preaching on Sunday. He went where others had not been. He was the pathfinder of many a Methodist preacher, and opened up the way by which churches were established. While in Wisconsin, with his own hands he built a house for worship and gave it to the people. When he came to Iowa he found a like needy field and at once began his missionary work, and many Iowa Methodist churches owe their existence to the labors of Bro. Yockey. He was ordained as a local deacon thirty-six years ago and in 1883 local elder by Bishop Simpson at   Clarinda,   Iowa,   and was
ever faithful to his trust.   He was a good gospel preacher.    The deep religiousness of his   character was always evident.   He   had a proof and conviction of the truth of Christianity.   The heroic element was a prominent trait   in   his character thus adapted by   both nature and grace for setting   aglow   with holy fire the elemental church which he loved.   Notwithstanding that during the six years of   intense suffering he never lost the   deep   interest in the church and his unshaken faith in God were a   benediction   to the community.   He was a   good man and   full of   the Holy  Spirit and faith and much people   were added unto the Lord.
"Servant of God, well done.
Thy glorious warfare is past; The battle is fought, the race is'won.

And thou art crowned at last. With saints enthroned on high
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim, And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb." CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 6, 1910

Thomas Young Dead, - Last Thursday Thomas Young, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Young, who were pioneers of Page county, died in a somewhat mysterious way. His home was south of Clearfield in the edge of Ringgold county to which place he moved some years ago from his farm southwest of Clarinda. It seems that he had not been well Wednesday, but went to Clearfield returning in the evening and reported to the family that he had not been feeling as well as usual that day. However, he ate supper as heartily as usual and apparently rested well that night. He told the folks the day before that he had a fall at the creek, but gave no particulars as to how the accident happened or as to how seriously he was hurt. Thursday morning he went out to the field accompanied by his ten year old son to look after matters pertaining to the stock.. After he had gone some distance he told the boy that he couid not go any further and that he would be obliged to go back. The boy ran and secured the assistance of his uncle, who with others to help and a wagon, came to get the sick man whom they found standing apparently paralyzed and unable to move. He was lifted into the wagon, and, on the way home told them again that he had met with an accident the day before and had been very sick. He died before they could retrieve him from the wagon, after reaching the home. A coroner's inquest was held and the report filed was to the effect that he came to his death from causes unknown to the jury. Mr. Young was quite well known in this locality as an industrious and energetic farmer and commanded the respect of all who knew him. He leaves quite a large family in addition to the parents and brothers and sisters, all of whom are sorely afflicted in their great sorrow. His cousins, Mr. L. R. Taggart and Mrs. E. Maire attended the funeral which was held last Saturday. A brother-in-law, Jas. Bennett, who lives southwest of town, also attended the funeral. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 27, 1904
