Edward T. Yates was born in Jefferson county, Indiana, November 21, 1849. He came to Nebraska in 1873 and took up his abode on a tree claim three miles south of Geneva. On August 20, 1882, he was married to Martha M. Brown, in Geneva, and they went at once to their home on the farm, where they resided together in the happiness of their loving companionship until the time of Mr. Yates’ death, April 15, 1917
Eight children were born into their home, one of whom died in infancy. Bert has lived with his parents on the farm. Joe resides in Ohiowa, Neb.; Claire lives on a farm east of Geneva; Mrs. M.L. McPherren is at Poplar, Mont.; Edith is a teacher near Huntley, Neb.; Howard and Lura are at home with their mother. One brother, John W. Yates of Geneva, and two sisters, Mrs. Samuel Hughey of San Diego, Cal., and Mrs. Frank Demaree of Ohiowa, Neb., mourn the loss of their brother, Ed.
Mr. Yates was widely known and highly respected by all of his acquaintances. He was a devoted husband, a careful and considerate father, and was most lovingly attached to his family and his home. In early young manhood, he became a Christian, and lived an earnest, consistent Christian life. For a number of years he had been a member of the Geneva Christian church, and by the influence of his life, his children learned Christian devotion.
His many friends mourn his departure, and the home which he erected is cast into the depths of sadness because of his being taken away.
Funeral services, conducted by E.M. Johnson of Lincoln, were held at the Yates home Wednesday afternoon, April 18, 1917. The body was laid to rest in the Geneva cemetery.
