    WILLIAM W. YEAGER, merchant, of Centreville, was born in Bibb county, Ala.,
June 19, 1856. He is a son of Everett and Maria (Shuttersworth) Yeager, both
natives of Bibb county, Ala. The former is a farmer and the parent of eleven
children, eight of whom are living, as follows: William W., Mary J., wife of
Columbus Steele, farmer, of Bibb county; James E., a school teacher; Perry, a
farmer; Fannie, wife of Albert Steele, of Bibb county; Ezekiel, Hester and
Winston. Those deceased were named Bettie, Mack and Bertie J. The mother of
these children was a member of the Presbyterian church, and died in 1884.
William W. Yeager was reared on a farm, and received a common school education.
In 1886, he married Miss Melvina Ward, who was born in Tuscaloosa county, Ala.,
in March, 1857, and is a daughter of John and Adeline (Mayfield) Ward. Her
father was a native of Georgia, and her mother, of Tuscaloosa county, Ala. Mr.
Ward is a farmer, residing in Tuscaloosa county, Ala., and has served for a
number of years as a justice of the peace. Mr. and Mrs. Yeager have had but one
child, which died in infancy. He had always followed farming until December,
1891, when he moved to Centreville and went into the hotel and grocery business,
which he is now conducting. He owns four hundred and forty acres of land, seven
miles west of Centreville, which is in a high state of improvement. He is a
whole-souled, genial, kind-hearted man, and self-made. He is a member of the
Presbyterian church, while his wife is a Baptist. Both stand deservedly high in
the estimation of their neighbors and friends.
