The 1910 US Federal Census for O'Brien Co., Iowa, Summit Twp., Dist 93, shows: Dwelling 7: Yeager, Roy, head, age 25, married 4 yrs, b. IA, parents b. Germany, painter Yeager, Ida C., wife, age 24, married 4 yrs, gave birth to 2 children, 2 survive, b. Iowa, father b. Iowa, mother b. Illinois Yeager, Helen Z., daughter, age 2, b. Iowa Yeager, Doris L., daughter, age 9/12, b. Iowa In the 1920 US Federal Census for O'Brien Co., Iowa, Dale Twp., Primghar town, enumerated 3-5 Feb 1920: Dwelling 23: Yeager, Ida C., head, age 35, widow, b. Iowa, father b. Pennsylvania, mother B. Iowa Yeager, Helen Z., daughter, age 12, b. Iowa, father b. Iowa, other b. Iowa Yeager, Doris L., daughter, age 10, b. Iowa Yeager, Jeddie G., son, age 6, b. Iowa Since Ray Yeager was alive in 1910, and their last child was born in 1914, I would guess that Ray Yeager died between 1914-1920. I find a cemetery record in O'Brien County, Pleasant Hill Cemetery, town of Primghar, for Roy B. Yeager, but no death date. Checking further, I find a 1915 Iowa State census record for 1915 for Roy B. Yeager, age 31, in O'Brien Co., Primghar; painter, b. Iowa, father b. Germany, mother b. Penn; yes could read and write; years in Iowa 31. So he was still alive in 1915. By the time of the 1930 US Federal Census for O'Brien Co., Ida Yeager, age 45, is still not remarried. She states she was born in Iowa and both of her parents were born in Iowa. Daughter Doris, age 20, and son Jed, age 16, are still living with her. She is a housekeeper for a private family and still lives in Primghar. By the way, Roy Yeager's parents are both buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Primghar, along with Roy B. Yeager. Perhaps the local library in Primghar or in O'Brien County could find obituaries for you. Then I find a record of Roy B. Yeager who enlisted in the regular U.S. Army in 1906; enlisted at Minneapolis, Minn, born Osage, Iowa, eyes Blue, complexion White fair, height 5 ft 6 inches. (I don't know if this is the same man.) Finally, in the 1900 US Federal census for O'Brien Co., Summit Twp., Primghar town, June 2 there is this: Dwelling 8. Yeager, John, head, b. Jan 1845, married 34 yrs, age 55, b. Germany, immigrated 1851, occupation Carpenter. Yeager, Sophia J., wife, b. Nov 1847, age 53, married 34 yrs, gave birth to 7 children, 7 survive, b. Penn, father b. Penn, mother b. Penn Yeager, Theodore S., son, b. Mar 1877, age 23, single, b. Ill Yeager, Charles R., son, b. May 1881, age 19, b. Ill Yeager, Roy B., son, b. May 1883, age 17, b. Iowa Yeager, John F., son, b. Oct 1885, age 14, b. Iowa This looks like the correct family to be your Roy B. Yeager. ----- Original Message ----- From: <clyde1927@msn.com> To: "iowa-l" <iowa-l@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2009 12:31 AM Subject: [IOWA] YEAGER > Seeking info on a YEAGER family who lived at Pringhar,Obrien County in ca. > 1910.
