| 552 | Death Summons Mrs. M. L. Yeazel Sunday Morning The Homer Enterprise Friday, March 6, 1925, page 2 Death summoned Mrs. M. L. Yeazel about 9 o’clock Sunday morning. Mrs. Yeazel had been in poor health since 1920 and shortly after she and Mr. Yeazel left the farm west of town, she suffered a stroke of paralysis. She has been bedfast since last Christmas. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 from the home F. E. Birkett, pastor of the Presbyterian church being in charge. Interment was in G.A.R. cemetery. C. A. Morehouse, accompanied by Mrs. Morehouse sang “Shadows” that number being the only music to be rendered. Those carrying flowers were Mrs. J. W. Tudor; Mrs. N. G. Foreman; Mrs. F. M. Conkey; Mrs. Nelle Huff; Mrs. Ralph O’Neil’ Mrs. C. E. Johnson; Mrs. Ray Salladay and Mrs. Fred Hall. Pall bearers were nephews of the deceased, namely: Eugene and Robert Hall; Ralph O’Neil; Howard, William and Kenneth Smith. The following obituary was read at the service: “Mrs. Matthew L. Yeazel, formerly Miss Julia Elizabeth Smith was born at Danville, Illinois, May 3 1859 and died at Homer, Illinois, Sunday, March 1, 1925, at the age of 66 years, 10 months and 28 days. The deceased had been in ill health for several years following a stroke of paralysis and during the past few weeks she had been in a critical condition. She suffered much but bore her afflictions with great courage and patience. She fought a tremendous battle for life itself and only as the end drew near was she willing to admit that she was engaged in a losing battle. All that mortal hands could do was done to ease her sufferings but now she is at rest where there is no more pain. The thoughtfulness of her kindred and friends was very consoling to her and she was indeed grateful for their continued expressions of love and affection. She died as she had lived with a strong, triumphant faith in her Lord and Savior. She joined the Presbyterian church of Homer when a child and continued in active cooperation with its varied activities until incapacitated because of sickness. For years she served as organist in the Sunday school and church. Her memory will be precious to all who knew her and her loss will be keenly felt, not only by the immediate kin but by a large number of friends who knew her only to love her. On October 9, 1879 the deceased was married to Matthew L. Yeazel at Homer, Illinois. Her husband still survives. Four children were born to this union, all of whom are still living except one, Jennie A., who died in infancy. Mrs. Estella J. Havard lives in Homer; Mrs. Nellie M. Davis in Sheridan, Wyoming and Mrs. Lelia I. Johnston near Homer. The deceased leaves also eight grandchildren, namely: Mrs. Ruth Elliott of Homer, Illinois; Helen Havard of Homer, Illinois; Lawrence Havard of Huntington Park, California; Julia Davis and Catherine Davis of Sheridan, Wyoming; Julia Nell Johnston, Mary and Francis Anne of Homer, Illinois. There is too, one great grandchild, Phyllis G. Elliott of Homer. Besides these the deceased leaves to mourn her loss, two sisters, and three brothers, namely, Mrs. Mary S. Poisell, of Los Angeles, California; Mrs. Jennie Wamsley of Eagle Rock, California; William H. Smith of Homer; Charles M. Smith of Danville and Harry J. Smith of Taft, California.

W. G. Pulliam at the Methodist church. Rev. Pulliam spoke from the words: “Let Not Your Heat Be Troubled.” Mrs. W.G. Pulliam, Mrs. Clyde Harry and Daniel and Wm. Hahn sang three beautiful selections.
