Walnut Valley Times, December 26, 1902, Volume XXXIII, Number 49
YOUNKMAN:  Died, December 19, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. G. Wells, 
Mrs. Sarah Younkman, aged 74 years. Sarah Brown Younkman was born in Stark 
county, Ohio, November 16, 1828. She was married in 1854 to D. D. Younkman, who 
died here some thirteen years ago and four children survive them, George 
Younkman and Mrs. Hattie Wells of El Dorado, Mrs. Alice Thompson of Harbor 
Springs, Michigan and Eugene Younkman of Colorado Springs, Colorado. With her 
husband she came to El Dorado in 1870 and all the older residents of Butler 
county knew and loved the two good old-fashioned, honest hearted people. For 
many years they owned a hotel here, noted for its excellent cookery and 
service. The Metripolitan – originally called the Younkman Hotel – is a 
monument to these excellent people. Mrs. Younkman was a member of the United 
Brethren church, joining at Huntington, Indiana in 1856 and she has lived her 
religion. She was a splendid woman, a noble wife, a loving and devoted mother 
and her children call her blessed; and as friend and neighbor she was loved and 
honored wide as her acquaintance circle. The funeral will be held from the 
Wells home Monday, December 22 at 2:30 p.m.
