Laverne W. Yale died at the home of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. Luman B Yale in Yaleville, Thursday morning, August 18, 1901, aged 88 years and 11 months. When about 20 yrs of age Mr. Yale, who was then teaching, was taken ill at his school with scarlet fever, was removed to his home from which he never went forth again in health. For more then 18 years he had been confined to his room and his bed and had been a great sufferer at times requiring the constant attention of the members of the household. During all this period the father had spent but a few nights away from his son's bedside, and with loving hands had the patients sufferer been ministered to. When about 18 years old his father baptized him
into the membership of the Baptist Church, and that membership
continued till death, and his unswerving faith in Christ has been a source of great comfort to him and his family.

Besides his parents, Mr. Yale leaves to mourn his loss from the family, three brothers, Arthur E. of Minnesota, Rev. Homer F. of North Carolina, Merwin I. who lives at home, and one sister, Hattie, also living with the parents.

The funeral services were held under the shade of the overhanging trees in the dooryard of the home on Saturday last at 11 o'clock. His pastor Rev. C.D. Reed, officiated, and the four Toby brothers, Martin, Chris,John and Uriah, acted as bearers for the friend and playmate of their boyhood days. The worn boy was laid to rest at the beautiful cemetery at Yaleville.
