LOVEY YATES (Oct. 21, 1903 - Nov. 01, 1993)
Last residence: 76051 (Grapevine, Tarrant County, TX)
From the History of the First United Methodist Church in Grapevine, TX --
On May 15, 1966, the beautiful new sanctuary was dedicated along with the plant, which included offices, classrooms, a kitchen, parlor, and fellowship hall (named Leach Hall in lieu of the log cabin which had to be moved). Rev. R. A. Brooks was pastor and Bishop Kenneth Pope gave the address.
The new sanctuary was designed for four-hundred fifty worshippers (600 members). Abstract design symbols from the Old and New Testaments graced the memorial stained glass windows. Behind the choir, the window with a Latin Cross and stained glass sunburst is a memorial to former missionary to the Congo, C. T. Schaedel, by his wife (also a former missionary) Etta Schaedel and their daughter Dr. Minnie Lee Lancaster and her husband, Dr. E. L. Lancaster and family. The old E. N. Hudgins window was installed in the new church parlor, which was designed by W. B. Burdines and Lovey Yates.
