Looking for any related kin of the family listed: There are very little "hard" facts concerning Uncle Lem. I thus far have only been able to locate him once in the census, living in the home of his Great Aunt MJ Yearout and her husband Lewis Elbert Williams. Page 28 Stamped page, district 21, year 1880 Lewis E. Williams 45 Miller Mary J. 48 (Yearout married 23-Nov-1854) Lemuel Yearout 15 nephew Lizzie Hankins 21 servant Lemuel was born 1865, his mother being only 17 years of age. Family stories say that he was a child of rape by an Anderson man in Maryville. The story goes on to say that Edna's brothers took vengence on the Anderson man, making it appear to be an ambush. This was most likely easy to pull off as it was post Civil War. Lemuel is listed as the child of William Rankin and Myra McCully Yearout, but this information is totally incorrect. Most of the older family still remembers Uncle Lem. He married Maggie Norris in Knox County, September 4, 1890, once again listed as the son of WR and maggie. The family of his brother, William Marsh Yearout tell me some very interesting facts concerning Lemuel. He lived in Maryville, Knoxville and Chattanooga, working as a bellhop in the latter city. He also lost a leg in a train accident, and he attended Maryville College. he was raised by Lewis and MJ and was given a really good raising. Lemuel married Maggie Norris 04-Sep-1890, Knox County, Tennessee. Children listed: Mary Pearl Yearout born Feb. 1893 John H. Yearout born Sept. 1894 Charles L. Yearout born 1898 Elzie Irene Yearout born 1900 Lelis Yearout born 1895 Edna Yearout born 1903 Thus far i have been unable to either prove ot disprove most of my information. If anyone has info concering anyone in this list, please do not hesitate to make contact. You will be given full credit for your information. Census report 1870, Blount County, TN shows Lemuel living with his great grandparents, John and Martha Raulston Yearout. John is listed as age 75, farm labor, Martha as age 73, housekeeper. Lemuel is 5, which confirms his birthdate as 1865. Bethel Lutheran Church Cemetery This cemetery is located on Maryville Pike, about 1/4 mile from Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
