San Antonio Express
April 15, 1924
Beeville: Mrs. Amanda Fassett, 83 years old, native Texan and one of this State's early pioneers, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Paul Bauer, in this city April 4. She had been ill for several weeks, her life slowly ebbing away from infirmities of old age.
Amanda Yeary was born in Jack County, Tex., Oct. 29, 1841. She is the last of a family of four boys and four girls. When a little girl she went to Weatherford to live with a sister, Mrs. C. E. Bailey. There she was married to T. J. Reagan. To them six children were born. Four of them - Jeff Reagan, Earl Reagan, W. B. Reagan and Mrs. Dan Coleman - preceded their mother in death. Surviving are Mrs. Paul Bauer of this city and John Reagan of San Antonio. Mr. Reagan died in 1871. She was married the second time to John Fassett. She is survived by one child of this marriage, Mrs. Ellen Love of San Antonio. Mr. Fassett died a number of years ago.
Mrs. Fassett lived at Helena, in Karnes County, for many years. She witnessed the transformation of this section from a veritable wilderness, inhabited by Indians, to a country rich in resources and highly developed. She recalled many actual experiences with Indians in the early days and remembered vividly a battle that raged around her when she was a little girl. The Yeary home was surrounded by the red men and a hot fight ensued. Finally the Indians were reprised, without any casualties in the Yeary family, although Mrs. Fassett's mother received a slight wound.
The funeral services were conducted at the Bauer home Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. James W. Allbritten, pastor of the First Methodist Church conducted the services. Mrs. Fassett had united with the Methodist Church in early childhood. Interment took place in the Glenwood Cemetery and was attended by a large concourse of friends and relatives. Mrs. Fassett's surviving son and two daughters were with her when the end came. She had made her home with Mrs. Bauer for many years.
