SAMUEL GIBSON YEO

SAMUEL GIBSON YEO was horn July 13, 1848, in Guernsey County, Ohio. He was born
and raised on a farm and has followed this occupation all of his life. He
remained in his home state twenty-five years after which he went to Iowa where
he resided for one year. Then he went to Wisconsin and spent eight years and
from that state came to Kansas in 1888. He first located a claim in Sheridan
County and stayed there for six years and then came to Barton County where he
rented a farm near Claflin, later buying land which now comprises his home place
in Liberty township where he owns one-half of section 12. All of this land is
under cultivation and is being farmed by Mr. Yeo. He was married in 1886 to Miss
Katie Dew at Fairfield, Iowa. They are the parents of four children: Maud, 32
years of age, is now Mrs. A. J. O'Blenness of Kinsley, Kansas; Clyde, 30 years
of age, is married and lives near his parents and is engaged in the farming
business; Earnest, 26 years of age, who resides at home and George, 25 years
old, is farming in Stafford County near Seward. Mr. Yeo's home place is well
equipped with buildings and all the necessary machinery and live stock for
successful farming. He makes a specialty of raising and breeding short horn
cattle and maintains a flock of fancy Buff Cochin chickens. The residence on the
home place consists of seven rooms in addition to the pantries, closets, etc.
The barn is ample for all the needs of the farm being 45 by 60 feet in
dimensions. Mr. Yeo is a practical farmer having been engaged in this line of
work all of his life. Mr. Yeo farms according to modern methods and is one of
the successful farmers who have done so much to develop that part of the county
lying south of the river from the city of Great Bend.
