Son of Daniel Wayne Yeager & Elizabeth Jane 'Lizzie' Sawyer
Married Harietta 'Ettie' Mary Goff Nov. 15, 1915 New Orleans LA, Father of Jessie Annie Yeager Holman and Ettie Elizabeth Yeager Christine. My great-uncle Fletcher loved everybody. He was a tall, skinny man with a huge grin who showed me where to catch crawfish near his little house in Van Cleave, MS, in 1952. He and Aunt Ettie were some of my favorite people. They lived in New Orleans, where he was an electrical contractor in the early 1940s, when I spent a week with them and their teenage daughters and was entertained with a special night at the amusement park at Lake Pontchartrain. People said he made coffee so strong, you could let go of the pot while pouring and it would hang in mid-air, supported by the liquid itself.
