That was a long time ago and I no longer have that posting material so I can check. You may well be correct, and it could well be Yocum. Can also tell you, that I remember from that newspaper, and I still have items to post from it, is that the 1918 newspaper was/is a real bear to read and try to figure out. Have a good one!!
