Friday, 24 Nov 1916--THOMAS YEAGER DIED SATURDAY--Thomas B. Yeager, one
of the best known and most highly esteemed residents of this county, died at
his home
near this city at 1:07 o'clock yesterday afternoon, following an illness of
several months
duration. Mr. Yeager had been in poor health for quite a while, but it was
only recently
that his condition became worse, and few of his friends realized that his
condition was
serious.
Mr. Yeager was born June 2, 1853. For years he has made his home near this
city
and he was well known to all our citizens, and highly esteemed by all. News
of his death
will be received with genuine regret.
Surviving him are his wife, two sons and six daughters. They are Edgar and
Martin Yeager, Mrs. L. B. Cleeton, Mrs. Jas. McKinsey, Mrs. Carl Hendricks,
Mrs. J. M.
Thornburg, Mrs. Guy Irons and Miss Lola Yeager, all of near Moberly. Two
sisters, Miss
Mary Yeager, of Hot Springs, Ark., and Mrs. T. D. Coates of near Moberly,
also are left
to mourn his death.
Mr. Yeager was a member of the Central Christian church, of which he had
been
a deacon for several years--Moberly Monitor Nov 19.

Friday, 24 Nov 1916--W. G. White of southeast of town this week adds his
name to the
list of farmers posting their places against hunters, a half dozen of his
best turkeys having
been killed by hunters or their dogs Tuesday. It is our guess that such
kind of work as
this by thoughtless boys or reckless hunters is going to be kept up until
some one gets
their hide full of shot.

Friday, 24 Nov 1916--While on a train the other day going to Moberly, Thomas
Hall of
Elliott was robbed by a negro pickpocket who got his purse containing two
$20 bills. Mr.
Hall reported the loss to the police who later arrested the negro. The
purse and one of the
bills was recovered. The negro is in jail.

Friday, 24 Nov 1916--Mrs. T. A. Reed, while preparing dinner last Sunday,
caught her
foot in the carpet as she was crossing the room and fell, breaking her right
arm just above
the wrist. Less than a year ago she fell at the skating rink and broke the
arm in almost the
same place, and one day last summer had both hips thrown out of place when
she was
caught between two automobiles at the ball park. She has had more than her
share of
accidents, and the NEWS joins her many friends in the hope that the one of
Sunday will
be her last.
