I'm researching YEAGLEY's of Williams and Defiance County Ohio. One line lead me to Crawford County, PA. I thought I'd share an obituary I found. Maybe it will help someone on this list. - Karen Margaret Yeagley Margaret Ann Hendershot, daughter of John and Charlotte Hendershot, was born in Crawford county, Pa., August 5, 1837, and departed this life, February 6, 1925. She was the fourth in a family of nine children, only one of whom now survives, a brother, James of Auburn, Ind., who is nearly 84 years of age. The Hendershot family removed to Ohio, near Williams Center, In 1844, where they remained about three years, and went to DeKalb county, Indiana, where they bought and cleared a farm just over the St. Joe river west of Farmer. Here the father died in a few years and was buried in Williams Center, and the mother with the true pioneer spirit and her children's help, finished the task and made a comfortable home, where the mother died at the age of 75 years. Margaret was married to William Yeagley, on November 29, 1854 and started housekeeping in Williams Center, going then to a farm near Newville, where the mother remained with her small family during his three years of service in the Civil war. To this union were born six children, Mrs. Blanche Donley, of Farmer, Andrew Parke, who died at Olten Texas, April 22, 1913, Ida May, at the age of 15 months, Mrs. Lottie Winn of Defiance, Ohio, Sherman and Mrs. Madge B. Cunningham, of Farmer. Besides these there are 14 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren left to feel their great loss. The husband and father having preceded her in death on the 19th of February 1915, mother has only been waiting her summons to join him and the children who have gone before. It is not for us who are left to grieve but rather to rejoice. She became a charter member of Lew Bowker Woman's Relief Corps in 1891 and remained a true and loyal member until the day of her departure, when she was transferred to the Order of the True and Loyal in the other world. Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon, February 9th, at 1:30, Rev. S. R. Aldrich officiating, and Mrs. J. Evrett Smith, of Edgerton, singing two beautiful songs. Pall bearers were Clyde and Guy Yeagley, Claude Winn, Richard Yeagley, Dale Donley and Bina Conkey, all grandsons of the deceased. The interment was in Farmer cemetery. >From The Bryan Press, Bryan, Ohio, February 12, 1925.
