MRS. YEARIAN IS AT REST [1924]
Leadore, June 23.—At the family home in Junction, at twelve o'clock Monday night, the spirit of Mary Frances Weir Yearian quietly departed this life. A complication of diseases resultant in part of age—were the cause of this loved one[‘s] death.
Mary Frances Weir was born Oct. 30, 1855, in the little town of Gatalia, Ill. On Jan. 1, 1873, she was married to Henry Wells Yearian of Galalia. The first thirteen years of their wedded life was spent in the environment, then, of their home town, after which they decided to come to Idaho which they did in 1886 settling at what is now the Thomas Yearian ranch at Lemhi.
Mrs. Yearian leaves her husband, Henry Yearian, her daughters, Mrs. Claude Benson, Mrs. Robert Stewart, Mrs. Virgil Stewart, and Joseph Yearian, a son, all living at Leadore, and George Yearian, a son, of Payette, Idaho, besides other relatives and a host of friends to grieve her taking away.
Burial occurred from the church in Junction at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the services being conducted by the Rev. C. A. Hawley of Salmon with internment at the Yearian cemetery north of town, under the direction of Undertaker Doebler.
A choir of women's voices rendered two numbers of divine solace, "Nearer My God to Thee," and "Abide With Me." And the pall bearers—old friends and neighbors of the deceased—were George Clark, Siegel Tobias, Rock Vezina, Solon Tobias, Alex Waugh, and George Proulx. Flowers banked the casket, the native blossoms of the hills prevailing in all their friendly warmth and colorful sweetness.
Rev. Hawley in his sermon paid a sincerely beautiful tribute to the departed in the name of motherhood. He talked from the 12th chapter and the 18th verse of Ecclesiastes: that prophetic book and chapter of sublime faith, and above all love, being the theme of his discourse.
On the first day of January, Mr. and Mrs. Yearian celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. It is not often the lot of mothers to rear a family of five children to maturity, welcome seventeen grand-children and be laid to rest in their midst with the number unbroken, but it was given "Grandma Yearian" to enjoy this last, great privilege.
