The Bossier Banner  October 28, 1897

Death of Mrs. Virginia Yarbrough.

Mrs. Virginia Yarbrough, nee Glassell, wife of Wm. G. Yarbrough, died on last 
Sunday night, 24th instant, at her residence in Benton.

Another estimable christian woman has been added to the great majority.  She 
was a member of the Presbyterian church, a woman of pure christian character 
and devoted to duty.  She had endeared herself to her many friends here, who 
most sincerely mourn her death.

The brightest characteristic gem of this truly good woman were clustered 
around the hearthstone, and there the blow falls with greatest weight.  A 
devoted wife and mother, it was her great pride and fondest desire to serve, 
cheer and comfort her husband and children.  It was here that the sunshine of 
her mind and heart shed its warmest rays; but the light has gone; shadows are 
deepening and lengthening and tears are falling in the darkness.  Footsteps 
that were music to the ears are heard only as a half-effaced memory of 
something loved and lost.

To the stricken husband; to the daughter budding into womanhood, and to the 
younger children, who need a mother's care, we offer our tenderest sympathy.

Mrs. Yarbrough's remains were buried at the Coates graveyard, near Benton on 
Tuesday morning.

Additional Comments:
The last quarter of the year 1897 would be tragic for the William Green 
Yarbrough family.  Children Todd McIntire Yarbrough would die on December 11, 
1897 and oldest child, Hattie Eve Yarbrough would pass away three days later 
on December 13, 1897.  All three are interred at Coates Cemetery in Benton, 
Bossier Parish.  William Green Yarbrough is buried at Hosston Cemetery in 
Caddo parish.  He and Virginia were married on January 19, 1878 in Mansfield, 
DeSoto Parish, Louisiana.
