The Journal Times Racine, Wisconsin  Wed, Feb 23, 1898 Page 8
The Citronelle Call (local 
newspaper) of Feb. 18. of 
Citronelle, Alabama has the 
following notice, which we copy...

Myra Yates was born near Racine, 
Wis, Dec. 9, 1863, and died at 
this place. Feb. 16 1898. She was 
married to Mr.J.W. Payne. Nov.25. 
1886, Mrs.Payne always enjoyed 
good health until about one year 
ago when a severe cold seemed to 
bring on consumption. Though 
advised by her physician not to 
come south, set without doubt. So 
doing lengthend her life and gave 
her little family more of her 
earthly company. 

But last Wednesday afternoon at 5 
o’clock her spirit was borne 
silently away and her sorrowing 
husband and two little boys left 
alone in their sorrow. Her father 
and one sister and mother and two 
brothers also survive her. One of 
the brothers James Yates of 
Sylvania, Wis., arrived on 
Thursday. He will remain until Mr. 
Payne can complete his 
arrangements for returning to 
Wisconsin when the remains which 
has been placed in a specially 
constructed vault will be taken to 
their former home, at Racine. Mrs. 
Payne was a communicant of the 
M.E. Church, and died in the hope 
of arising again to walk in 
newness of life. 

The call desires to extend to the 
relatives and friends its sympathy 
in this dark hour.
