Obituary of Ida  Martha Sikes Bazzell Adams Yates 
as written in "The Bainbridge Post Search Light" dated 1 Sep 1931.  
Bainbridge (Decatur), Ga.  

On August 31, 1931 
as the sun was sinking in the west, Mrs. Ida Yeates of Brisbon, quietly and peacefully 
passed on to her Heavenly home. For many months she suffered with paralysis and other 
complications, but she bore her sufferings with quiet fortitude, never complaining of her 
misfortune.  She was a sweet and noble Christian character and she knew that her 
Heavenly Father would not send more suffering on her than she could bear, as she 
patiently and smilingly awaited His call, to the land where there is no suffering nor pain.  
Mrs. Yeates was 59 (?) years of age and leaves to mourn her passing her aged husband 
Mr. H. M. Yeates, daughters Mesdames Carl Shirah, H. M. Smith and little Mildred 
Yeates; sons Hardy Yeates, Jim Sikes and W. H. Bazzell, all of Bainbridge, Ga; three 
step-children, Messrs. W. D. Yeates of Brinson, H. H. Yeates of Pelham and Mrs. 
Leonard Kendrick of Tallahassee, Fl.; seven grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. D. L. Bledsoe 
of Iron City, Ga.; and three brothers, Messrs. J. J. Adams of Iron City, J. S. Adams of 
Donalsonville and J. E. Adams of Cottonwood, Ala.  Interment was t Rock Pond Church 
of which Mrs Yeates was a faithful member for many years, on Tuesday afternoon, 
September 1st in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends.  The 
many and beautiful floral offerings gave silent testimony of the esteem in which she was 
held.  The funeral service was conducted by Rev Cook of Brinson, a life long friend of 
the deceased.  Pallbearers were Messrs. Will Batchelor, Perry Mills, Grady Cloud, Phillip 
Brogden, Perry Dunham and Reed Player.  J. J. Edge Funeral Home was in charge.
