Southern gentleman. He was devoted to his faith, his family and his beloved

Navy, Mr. Yarbrough returned to college and graduated from the University of 
Georgia in 1947 with a major in chemical engineering. He was Commander of Mu 
Chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity in 1945. Most of his career was in chemical 
sales for air filtering products in mining and in kaolin clay, with National

Mr. Yarbrough was a member of Christ Episcopal Church, the Gridiron Society,
