MRS. H. C. YOUNGKIN
Yoakum Weekly Herald
January 20, 1910The remains of' Mrs. Youngkin, who died yesterday morning at her home in Hallettsville arrived in the city this afternoon on the 1:40 train and were conveyed to the City cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends to pay their last sad tribute of respect to this noble and estimable lady. She was consigned to mother earth by the side of her late husband, H.C. Youngkin, who had gone to his reward only a few months previously. The Herald extends its heartfelt sympathy and condolence to her two sons, Drs. John and Si, and her relatives and many friends in their loss of mother, relative and friend. Words can only suffice when we say, "She has gone to her home in heaven, where there is no sadness, nor sorrow, sickness nor pain."
