Obituary of Fred Yust
Fred Yust, son of Frederick Yust and Amalie Yust, was born Sept. 30, 1844, in Grafenhainichen, Prussia, Germany, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carl C. Coleman of Sylvia, Kansas, Feb. 2, 1937, age 92 years, 4 months and 3 days.
At the age of 11 he came to America in a sailing vessel (Auguste) with his parents (and four siblings) in 1855, and the family located at Canton, Mo.
When the Civil War broke out he enlisted in Co. "A", 21 Regiment, Missouri Volunteer Infantry, and was honorably discharged at the close of the war. (He served under the command of his uncle, his father's older brother Charles.) He has been a member of the local G.A.R. Post No. 386 since 1886, and was the last surviving member of this post.
During the World War he added to the service of his adopted country by assisting in the Camp Libraries in three southern training camps. The flag on his casket today is a contribution of the U.S. Government in recognition of his service.
In 1874 he moved from Canton, Mo., to Hayes township, Reno county, Kansas, being the fourth family of the pioneer settlers in that vicinity.
He helped to build up the community not only by building a home for himself, but was leader in the establishment of a number of public schools and the founding of the German Methodist church of which he was a leading supporter during its entire history, retaining his membership after its union with the English church, and only recently transferred his membership to the local church at Sylvia.
At the age of 60 he retired from active business, having made ample provision for his family and himself through many years of patient labor, intelligent application, thrift and good management.
Sept. 24, 1868, he married Dora Kreie at Canton, Mo., who died April 20, 1917. Only a year and a few months more and they would have celebrated their Golden wedding.
To this union were born four sons and five daughters: William Frederick of Winter Park, Florida; George Henry and Edward Phillip, both of Sylvia; Katharine Elizabeth Snowbarger, Clara Matilda Essley, and Emma Dorothea Coleman of Sylvia; Lydia Rosalie McElroy of Garden City, Kans., and Anna Laura Werner of Lincoln, Nebr., all of whom were present at the funeral. The youngest son, Benjamin Harrison, died in 1910. Eighty grandchildren and great grandchildren are living. He is also survived by two brothers, John and Henry Yust, both of Sylvia.
He made a good job of his life. He did not erect a palace but what he built is standing the test of time. His achievement is not rank or riches, but a good name. He is not mounted on a pedestal in the hall of fame, but he is enshrined in the hearts of his children. They and the entire community today join in this last tribute to a Grand Old Man.
The funeral services of Mr. Yust were held Saturday afternoon, Feb. 6, at 2:00 o'clock at the Methodist church in Sylvia. Rev. W.B. Stevens the pastor, officiated in the services and was assisted by Rev. W.H. Hedden, Rev. S.C. Winey, Rev. W.S. Baker and Rev. E.W. Kiemel.
The following grandchildren and great-grandchildren had a part in the services: Flower girls—Dollie Heitt, Laurene Snowbarger, Mary Wyer, Ethel Melville, Velma Snowbarger, Genevieve Melville, Lorinda Coleman and Lois Melville; Pall bearers—Carol Coleman, Everett Snowbarger, Willie McElroy, Ralph Snowbarger, Emery Yust and Clarence Snowbarger; Singers—Monroe Coleman, Venard Yust, Vernon Snowbarger and Wallace Yust, quartet; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Snowbarger, a German duet, and Mary Alice Yust at the piano.
Songs were—"There's No Disappointment in Heaven," "In the Sweet By and By." German song "In dem Himmel ist's Wunderschon" (In Heaven it is Wonderfully Beautiful), "In the Land Where We Never Grown Old," and "Safe In The Arms of Jesus."
The body was laid at rest in the Fairview cemetery, north of Sylvia, which Mr. Yust donated as a burial ground.
