RECORDS: YATES, 80th Birthday, Union Co., KY ------------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by MDT 5 June 1998 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Appeared in the April 15th, 1998 issue of The Sturgis News, page 3. Surprise! That's what it was. A surprise 80th birthday party was given for Brother George YATES by his children on March 28th at the DeKoven building. All of "Pap's" family and friends were invited for the open house reception and we had a great attendance. The theme for the party was "Aged to Perfection" and that's how we see him. If you are wondering, he was surpised twice, once when he thought it was just family and then when his church, lodge, school and coal mining friends came in. All of Pap's children, Wanda, Bonnie, Linda, Shirley, Pete, Donnie, Jr., and Tommy were present as was Jiles, Anita, Vicki, John and Margaret. He also had 22 of his grandchildren and 13 of his great grandchildren there. Thank you all so much for making this celebration so special. We all had a great time. ********************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
