CLAYTON H. YEAGER
The community was greatly shocked last week by the sad news of the passing of C. H. Yeager, after about a weeks illness with pneumonia, his death occurring Friday morning, November 21st at 6:30.
Mr. Yeager had just completed the building of the new flourmill put up by the Yeager Milling Co., of which he was the manager when he was stricken. Worry over the work preyed on him to such an extent that the strain, together with the disease, was too much for his strength, and the new building standing as a memorial to his enterprise and industry, finished and ready for the work he was not permitted to begin, seems to add to the sadness of his passing.
Clayton H. Yeager was born on February 22nd 1870 in Chickasaw county, Iowa, and moved with his parents to Hubbard county Minnesota in 1879. He was married July 19th, 1893, and ten years later went with his family to Underwood, N. D., residing there until July, 1905, the family then settled on their farm about seven miles southeast of Garrison, from where they moved into town about eight weeks ago.
He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Blanche, aged 13 years, by four sisters and five brothers of whom Mrs. Otis Beardsley and Mrs. C. B. Unum, Truman, Bert and Albert Yeager from this area, and Leo and Silas Yaeger of Cottonwood, Minnesota and Webster, South Dakota were here for the funeral. Mrs. Yeager's father, N. Rinehart and sister, Mrs. Rose Brick, from Hubbard, Minnesota, besides a number of other relatives, were also present.
Mr. Yeager was a firm believer in the Socialist cause and one of its strongest supporters, having been a worker for eighteen years for its principles. He cast the first vote on the Socialist ticket in McClean County, and held the position of State Committeeman at the time of his death. He gave himself heart and soul to the work and never was found wanting, and Socialists have lost one whom they could ill afford to spare from their ranks. Most appropriate then was the beautiful silken flag emblem of the cause he loved which draped his coffin, presented in loving remembrance of their "comrade" by the local Socialists. Flowers there were also in great abundance beautiful tokens of affection and esteem, from the businessmen of Garrison, from the Underwood M. W. A., of which he was a member, and from many friends and dear ones by whom he is most sadly missed. The Minot Socialist Local also sent a beautiful floral offering.
The funeral was held Tuesday forenoon, November 25th, at the opera house, which was filled with the large crowd come to pay their last respects to the departed. Rev. P. W. Erickson of Minot officiated, speaking words of comfort to the sorrowing ones. Arthur LeSueur, the prominent Minot Socialist, also paid tribute to the deceased. The Garrison Male Quartet and four of the local ladies sang and Dr. E. C. Stucke, I. N. Amick, A. Kenck, Wm. McGee Pearl Keyes and W. W. Harvey acted as pallbearers. The business places were closed during the hour of the funeral. The remains were laid to rest in the Garrison cemetery.
The Times joins with the many friends of the family in heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
