YARBROUGH, JAMES E.
(30 Nov 1922, Beckham County Democrat, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Dr. J. E. Yarbrough was born at Barnesville, Georgia, Dec. 1st 1878.  Died
Nov. the 24th, 1922.
He was converted and joined the Methodist church at the age of eight years
and lived a consistent christian life until the end.  He moved to Erick
Oklahoma in 1912, and continued in every way to fulfill his mission.  He
labored alone, until Sept. the 27th, 1914, when he and Miss Jennie Coffee,
were united in matrimony.
His idea of safety was the human heart; his treasures most valuable were
deposited there without a fear that he could draw on it through out the
ages in the world above.
It has already been demonstrated by the largest funeral procession that
was ever witnessed in this county, that there is a growing harvest from
seeds he has sown, "we can speak the words of the apostle" being dead he
yet speaketh.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to thank the good people and friends of Erick for their loving
kindness and great hospitality, the beautiful flowers and evergreens
extended to our son, husband and brother, Dr. Yarbrough, during his
sickness and death.
May god bless you all and may we all finally meet in the Heaven of rest -
Where we believe he is now.
Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Yarbrough.
Mrs. Jennie Yarbrough.
A. M. Yarbrough.
Mrs. Ruth Harris.
