Eudora was the 7th of 9 children of Thomas Yarborough (1852-1895) and Winifred (Winnie) Pearson Yarborough (1858-1937).
Her death notice was composed by her grandfather, John Yarborough and, in the style of the day, it (and the accompanying memorial written by a family friend) gives little information about her life or death but contains instead sentimental language about grief and faith. His feelings were doubtless strong, since this family suffered so much untimely loss. Several of their children died very young; only one, Eudora's sister Lonie Belle, lived to old age. Four died as infants or very young children (Tollie Marvin, Eudora Vivian, Sara Ada, and Eva May). Two died as young adults (Ella and Mahlon Pearson). Two died in young middle age (James Elmos and John Harvey).
