GEORGE L. YAPLE LOSES BATTLE WITH INFLUENZA
Prominent Fort Wayne Professional Man Succumbs At Lutheran Hospital
ILL LESS THAN A WEEK
Although his condition last evening was so much improved, following a blood transfusion operation yesterday morning that attending physicians felt almost certain that he would recover, George L. Yaple, Jr., aged 34 years, of the sales department of the S. F. Bowser company, and one of Fort Wayne's most widely known younger professional men, passed away at 3:35 o'clock this morning at the Lutheran hospital. A sudden and pronounced change for the worst began to manifest itself shortly after midnight in the pneumonia complications, which followed the attack of influenza, with which Mr. Yaple was stricken less than a week ago, and his condition became steadily more critical until death ensued this morning.
George L. Yaple, Jr., was born August 26, 1884 [sic] at Mendon, Mich. He was the son of Judge and Mrs. George L. Yaple, Sr., who yet reside at Mendon. Following his graduation at the schools at Mendon and the completion of a preparatory course at Ann Arbor, Mr. Yaple entered the University of Chicago where he was a student for six years. He graduated from that institution in 1909, receiving the degree of bachelor of philosophy and doctor of law.
In 1910, Mr. Yaple commenced his comparatively brief, but brilliant career in Fort Wayne, when he came to this city and became associated in the practice of law with his brother, Judge Carl Yaple, until recently judge of the Allen superior court. The decedent continued in the practice of law until about three years ago, when he became affiliated with the S. F. Bowser company.
He entered the service of that corporation as an attorney and specialist in the correspondence section of the sales department, in which he had served with the greatest efficiency ever since. Mr. Yaple was an exceptionally versatile and combined in a degree so rarely attainable the qualities of the professional man and the business man. It was this happy faculty which made him of such great value to the S. F. Bowser company, and that firm feels very keenly the loss of so valuable a factor in its executive organization.
Mr. Yaple was an exceptionally cheerful and jovial man for one so much adapted and given to serious thinking, and his estimable and pleasant manner, together with his highly estimable character, endeared him very much to his associates, and won him a host of friends throughout his extensive college, professional and business career. Mr. Yaple was a member of the Men's class of the First Presbyterian church and B. O. O. E (?).
Mr. Yaple was, Jan. 12, 1912, united in marriage to Miss Mary McDonald, of this city, who, together with two children, Helen, aged 4, and Elizabeth, aged 3, survive. Other surviving relatives include the parents, Judge and Mrs. George L. Yaple, Sr., of Mendon, Mich.; three brothers, Edward L. Yaple, of Kalamazoo, Mich.; Judge Carl Yaple of this city and Harry M. Yaple of Seattle, Wash.; also one sister, Miss Alice Yaple, of Mendon, Mich. One brother and one sister preceded the decedent in death.
