CHARLES W. YOCKEY. The enterprising gentleman whose name initiates this paragraph is one of the leading men and agriculturists and fruit growers of the county of Latah, being a man of stanch qualities of moral worth, and happily possessed of fine business qualifications, as his possessions abundantly testify.
Mr. Yockey was born in Monroe county, Ohio, on February 7, 1853, the son of Lawrence and Sarah A. (Weaver) Yockey. The father was a native of Germany and died about eight years since, while the mother was a native of Pennsylvania and is still living in Rinard, Illinois. While our subject was a small child of three years, his parents removed to Johnson county. Iowa, and when he was twelve they removed to Wayne county. Illinois. He was educated in the various places where the family lived, and grew up on a farm. When he had reached the age of majority he began farming for himself and for five years he was numbered with the thrifty tillers of the soil in Wayne county. Illinois. It was in 1881 that he came to Latah county, and he soon homesteaded a quarter section five miles south from Troy, where the family home is at the present time. Mr. Yockey has demonstrated himself to be a capable orchardist, having thirty-five acres devoted to choice fruits and he is making a brilliant success in this line, as also he is in all lines in which he operates. He has two acres planted to cherries and it is a goodly sight to see the luscious fruit in ripening. The balance of the orchard is devoted largely to winter apples. Mr. Yockey's residence is the finest in this section, and doubtless the most imposing and beautiful and tastily arranged for both comfort and convenience with beauty, that is in the county of Latah. His whole premises manifest the thrift of the owner and his good judgment is apparent at every turn.
The marriage of Mr. Yockey and Miss Armilda, daughter of Thomas and Rachel (Southerland) Greear, was solemnized in Rinard, Wayne county, Illinois, on February 12, 1874, and they now have three children: Minnie [1877-1928], wife of Zo Krisher, living in Latah county; Myrtle and Lawrence, at home. Mr. Greear was a native of Tennessee and died in Illinois, while his widow is residing with her son. Mr. and Mrs. Yockey are members of the Bethel church on American Ridge, it being a class of the Methodist church, South.
[Note: living at home in the 1910 and 1920 census in Latah County is another daughter, Marie, born about 1902, who is not mentioned in this article.]
