Transcribed by Harold A. Lloyd

From the January 21, 1892 "Wilkesboro Chronicle" published in Wilkesboro, 
North Carolina:

"A quite aged and remarkable man passed away near Pleasant Hill, Walnut Grove
Township about the 1st of this month. His name was Mr. Valet Yale, and he was
about 90 years old. He came to this country (sic) 65 or 70 years ago from
Connecticut, something about the time that Josiah Cowles, father of our
townsmen, C. J. and W. H. H. Cowles came from the same state. He married a
Miss Pennel, a relative of Mr. Joshua Pennel who at one time lived at
Wilkesboro. He followed school teaching for a while, at some 55 years ago he
taught at Beaver Creek at which school several of our prominent citizens took
their first lessons among them being Phin. and A. H. Horton, Sheriff Ferguson
and others. He was a sturdy old dutchman and was of that family from which the
famous Yale College derived its name. He was blind and quite helpless for many
years before his death. He leaves surviving him his wife who is near 90 years
old and several children. He had lived over his three score years and ten, and
the wheels of life had at last worn completely out."

NOTES:

Vallet Yale was from Wallingford Connecticut and was the only son of Joseph 
Yale and Lois Hitchcock. His wife was Susan Pennell.
