Mr. and Mrs. Yelton were the parents of thirteen children, eight of whom survive. John R.

In addition there are many other relatives left to mourn, including grand-children, great grand-children, one brother, Robert Yelton, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Gerrard and Mrs. Millie Wood. Mrs. Yelton's death occurred about a year and a half age. (1902) Deceased was a model citizen, able, spright, religious and patriotic. He served in the Mexican and Civil wars, and in the former is survived by but three comrades in Jasper County. In the Rebellion he enlisted twice, and was mustered out as Captain of Company H, 38th Illinois Regiment, Union Army. He joined the Christian church in 1853 at Point Pleasant and was a consistent, progressive and devoted member until death. Much of the time he was actively engaged in the ministry, and celebrated his 80th and 81st birthdays by delivering sermons to the Newton congregation. Monday afternoon the last sad rites of interment were observed. Services were held at the Central Christian church of this city in charge of Rev. Adrian Bristow and a choir of singers. The edifice was filled to the limit of the building, and at the conclusion of the exercises a long line of vehicles, with many pedestrians, marched to the Riverside cemetery, where Jacob E. Reed Post, Grand Army of the Republic, paid its final tribute of respect to a revered comrade by burying him with the honors of the order. To the bereaved sons and daughters and to all others related, the Press extends its sympathy. Point Pleasant - John R.
