Me Co Per August Kempf Depty Francis Arminda Yarbrough, daughter of Caroline Ethyl Dodd & Alfred Yarbrough, was born on May 09, 1865 in McMullen Co., TX and died on April 10, 1943, buried in Burnet, Burnet Co., TX. In 1880 Alfred Yarbrough's family was listed on the Medina Co. census. This was Francis' first marriage and she was only 14 years, 9 mos & 27 days old. Francis married 2nd Ruben Slaughter in the early to mid 1880s and he died circa 1894. Her 3rd marriage was to William Solomon Hinds (1862-1938) on December 08, 1901. I believe that William Hinds had previously been married to Emma Slaughter. Emma Slaughter and Ruben Slaughter are siblings. Edward Thompson was born about 1860 in Louisiana. Presently, I do not know anything about him. He may have died not long after him and Francis married.
