Widows application for reclassification, 24 Jan 1916
This was extracted from the application of Sarah Jane Yarbrough of Tallapoosa 
County,Alabama for reclassification of her pension status as a  widow of 
Confederate Soldier, William Jefferson Yarbrough. Her number on the pension roll 
was 38506. Witness from Macon County, Alabama was Mary Simmons. 24 January 1916

Additional Comments:
The record for pension included many pages.From my own personal research Sarah 
Jane Simmons was married to William J. Yarbrough. Their families were living 
adjacent to each other on the 1850 census for Chambers County, Alabama in 19th 
District. Her brother, John W. Simmons moved with his family to Tallapoosa 
County, Alabama in about 1856. Sara Jane is listed as a sister of John W. 
Simmons in newspaper abstract from 1902, Opelika Post for the death of her 
brother, John W. Simmons. Sara and William were living in Tallapoosa in 1860. 
She and her husband were buried in Roxana Cemetery, Lee County, Alabama. John W. 
Simmons and his wife are also buried there. Her obituary in the Opelika Daily 
News April 15th 1927 indicates her name before marriage to W. J. Yarbrough was 
Sarah Jane Simmons. The date for  marriage provided in the obituary in 1927 
indicates the marriage was in 1852.
