AUTO ACCIDENT
Car Collides with Gravel Truck; Death
Follows Almost Instantly
June 4 or 9, 1934 (nsp)
(From: The St. Louis Leader)
The entire community was shocked and saddened because of the tragic and untimely death of William Yatts, a well known and life long resident of St. Louis and vicinity, who was almost instantly killed in an automobile accident one half mile east of Reese Tuesday evening of last week.
Mr. Yatts, a salesman for the John Derring Plow company, had spent Tuesday with the Deering dealer in Caro. Following supper which he had enjoyed with the dealer and his family, he left for home shortly before 7 o'clock with the expectation of returning with Mrs. Yatts to spend Memorial day with the Caro friends. He had been on the road but a few minutes when in attempting to pass a gravel truck, a collision occurred when the driver of the truck, Walter Bernthal, 20 years old, turned to the left to enter his farm yard. The impact of the two cars threw Mr. Yatts through the top of his car and against a tree about 14 feet away. He was taken in an ambulance to Luke's hospital in Saginaw, a distance of about 17 miles, where he passed away without regaining consciousness a few minutes after entering.
Funeral services were held in the Methodist church, St. Louis, Friday afternoon, Rev. Mayhew of Mt. Pleasant officiating. Salesmen, dealer and executives of the Deering company served as pallbearers, both active and honorary. The church was filled to capacity with sorrowing and sympathizing friends, and a profusion of flowers was indicative of a large circle of friends. Interment was made in Oak Grove cemetery beside the father, who passed away about 12 years ago.
William Yatts was born February 27, 1892 one mile east of St. Louis, on the farm now owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fisher, and all of his life he had lived in or near St. Louis.
Surviving are his widow, Isabella (Brown) Yatts, one son, Claude Burdette, one daughter, Lucy, his mother, Mrs. Clinton Sawvel, all of St. Louis, three sisters, Mrs. Floyd Smock of Pleasant Valley, Mrs. Irwin Alspaugh and Mrs. Will Keat (?) of Detroit and other relatives and friends.
