DEATH OF WEATHERFORD LADY UNDER PATHETIC CONDITIONS.
The Record refrained last week from mentioning the death of Mrs. Theodore Yarbrough of Weatherford, mother of Mrs. Leonard bennett, by request of Mrs. Bennett's physician. Mrs. Bennett gave birth to a son at the home of her husband's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bennett, just south of town, a few hours before her mother died in a Weatherford hospital at 10 o'clock Tuesday night, September 5, and was at the time the Record went to press last week in a critical condition. Her physician feared news of her mother's death might result in the death of the daughter also.
Mrs. Yarbrough had come over to be with her daughter when her baby was born, but became ill and was taken to Weatherford Monday, September. She was informed of the arrival of her grandson a few hours before her death. Mrs. Bennett was not told of her mother's death until last Sunday, when members of her family came over and spent the day. The ladies of the Christian Church prepared food and made dinner for the guests thus relieving the worn-out members of the Bennett family of the task. It was one of the saddest gatherings recorded in the history of the community. Mrs. Leonard Bennett, however, bore up bravely and is rapidly recovering.

MRS. THEO YARBROUGH'S DEATH BRINGS SORROW TO HER HOST OF FRIENDS.
All Weatherford was shocked and saddened Wednesday morning as it became known that Mrs. Yarbrough had died the previous night at Bowie Memorial Hospital. While it was known that she was seriously ill, her friends had hoped her life might be spared. Mrs. Yarbrough had been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Leonard Bennett, at Celina, Texas and was ill when she returned home Monday. Her condition became critical, and she was taken to the hospital. It was thought at first that she had appendicitis, but later physicians diagnosed the trouble as food poisoning. She appeared better Tuesday morning but became worse during the day and passed away at 10 o'clock that night.
Mrs. Yarbrough was 48 years of age and had spent her life in this city, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Boone. She married Theodore Yarbrough on November 9, 1905. She was known as a devoted wife and mother, faithful to all the duties and responsibilities of life. She was an active member of the First Methodist Church and had lived a consecrated and consistent Christian life. She was a member of Columbian Temple Pythian Sisters and also took a keen interest in the work of her husband, who is Grand Keeper of Records and Seal of the Pythians of Texas. Her death comes as an irreparable loss to her family and to the entire community. Surviving are her husband, and the following children: Mrs. Leonard Bennett, Celina; Boone Yarbrough, Weatherford; Erin Mary, William Ernest, Woodrow, Ina Frances, and Audrey Inez, all at home. One child, Wilson, died in infance October 30, 1918. She is also survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Boone, a sister, Mrs. Joe Bunch, and two brothers, Floyd, and Jerome Boone.
A large concourse of friends of this city and other cities of Texas gathered at the First Methodist Church at five o'clock Wednesday afternoon to pay their last tribute to the departed. Messages of comfort and consolation were brought by pastor, Rev. F. F. Singleton, and Rev. R. H. Boyd, pastor of Couts Memorial Church, and also Rev. Hall, former pastor here and a friend of the family. Beautiful floral offerings conveyed their silent messages of sympathy. Sacred music, which she loved so well, brought to sorrowing hearts visions of the heavenly home to which her spirit had winged its flight. Following the services, the body was tenderly laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery. There was a heartfelt and touching talk made at the cemetery by Hon. John Lee Smith of Throckmorton, formerly Pythian Grand Chancellor and a close friend of Mr. Yarbrought and the bereaved family. Pallbearers were: e. A. Camp, Hugh Gracy, T. P. Everett, K. Childress, W. C. Frasier, A. B. Richardson, Fred Meek. Honorary pallbearers were members of Knights of Pythias, Lone Star #4, Pythians of Texas and friends of the family.
