DEATHS:
(Typed as written)

JAMES YOST
JAMES YOST, prominent resident of Baptist Valley, died at this home on
March 15th,  He was 84 years of age and joined the methodist church many
years ago and was an active member until his illness. He said that he
never remembered taking God’s name in vain.  He will be greatly missed
by his many friends. He leaves to mourn his loss four children, MRS.
PEERY, of Baptist Valley, MRS. PAUL, of War, W.Va., ROBERT YOST, of
Bluefield, W.VA., with whom he made his home . Funeral services were
held at the home and burial in the family cemetery.
A poem followed the obituary but I did not get it all:
" Former friends, O, how I’ve sought them
Just to cheer my drooping mind:
But they’re like leaves in autumn,
Driven before a dreary wind,
Spring, and Summer, Fall and Winter,
Each in quick succession roll,
Lo, dear father, in death do enter
Bringing sadness to my soul."
[ I had first thought this was James Yost, s/o John "Captain" Yost &
Martha Karnes, however, I am now not certain. Perhaps, someone will
recognize their ancestor].
