Two Sad Deaths.

Todd Yarbrough, son of Mr. Wm. G. Yarbrough, died in Benton last Saturday 
night at 11 o'clock, aged about 9 years.  The home where he lived so happily 
is now desolate, and the disconsolate father mourns, as only fondest hearts 
can, over his dear departed little boy, whose happy cheer he will so sadly 
miss.

It is with feelings of deep sorrow that we announce to our readers the death 
of Miss Eva Yarbrough, daughter of Mr. Wm. G. Yarbrough, which occurred at her 
home in Benton at 4 o'clock Monday morning, aged 17 years, 11 months and 26 
days.  Thus, in less than two months we have been called upon to announce the 
dath of Mr. Yarbrough's wife and two of his children.

Miss Yarbrough was an estimable young lady and a devoted christian, having 
joined the Presbyterian church when only nine  years old - There are sorrowing 
and grief-stricken hearts in the family circle in which she shone so 
resplendently as a loving and amiable daughter and sister, but the memory of 
her good deeds will remain to brighten life's pathway of those to follow.

The remains were interred in the Coates graveyard Tuesday, a large number of 
friends being present to pay their respects to this worthy young lady.  The 
funeral services were conducted by Rev. P. H. Hensley.

Additional Comments:
Brother and sister: Todd and Eva Yarbrough died with three days of each other. 
They were the children of William G. and Virginia Yarbrough. Their mother had  
passed away two months before.  All are buried in the Coates Cemetery in 
Benton, on private property.
