Mary Bea Sparks Yandell, was the daughter of William G. and Minerva (Powell) Sparks, and was one of seven children.
She married Joseph Larkin Yandell ca. 1873, in probably Arkansas. We know some of the children were born in Scott County. They had ten children of which six lived to adulthood, John Daniel; Isaac Wilson; Joseph Elzie; Lloyd Oliver; Iona W Barnes; and Mollie Myrtle Childress, all born in Arkansas. (John" Daniel" and "Isaac" Wilson were named for her younger twin brothers, Isaac and Daniel).
She and her husband and family moved into Indian Territory in LeFlore Co. near Panama/ Cameron area after 1890. After her husband died in 1899, she raised the smaller children, with help of her older sons, two of which were Free Will Baptist ministers, another a school teacher/administrator, and one a businessman. No doubt her life was hard during the times she lived, on a frontier with no modern conveniences nor a husband for support. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, pious in her religious beliefs. She was staying with her youngest son, Lloyd, at the time of her death.
