From original Obit the ClarksHill News 1901. Another from us has been called by the Almighty-James Alfred Youart is dead.
After a lingering illness of many months he passed away Saturday night: a complication of diseases being the cause of his death. Jams was the son of Isaac Newton Youart and May Lydia Youart. He was united in marriage to Margaret A. Pierce Dec 10, 1891. To this union one son was born. Charles M. Youart. He joined the Christian Church at this place March 25, 1881, of which he was a member until his death. Alfred was very prominent, being known throughout Tippecanoe Co., and other portions of Indiana. He was held in highest esteem by all whoever came in contact with him. He bore malice to no one. But treated all with that which contstitutes a loving disposition thus his enumerable friends grieve over the loss of so important a factor of their community. He always labored for the best interests of his town, never commiting any deed his conscience knew to be other than good and moral. This staunch citizen will be greatly missed especially to the bereaved mother and son who survive him, a father and step-mother, five half brothers and sisters.
When a small boy Alfred hired to Osie Davis to earn for his board and clothes until old enough to earn money. He bought a $25.00 watch. At the age of 16 he hired to Perry Wright for almost a year, afterwards going unto the employ of Clark, Hall & Slaughter at this place as dry good clerk, a position he held until 23 years of age. By economical saving he accumulated sufficient money to purchase a business house, which he operated until Dec 10, 1891, the time of his marriage. His health not having been very good he sold the business and moved on the farm of his father-in-law, Lewis Pierce, where he stayed 2 years. Desiring a change he became an employee of Bogan & Fatser Lafayette. One year later he went to Stockwell taking a position as clerk with Mr. Yeagly. Later on he became in the employ of J.H. Fear & CO., of Clarks Hill. With them he stayed until his health began failing. He again went to the farm where he improved temporarily. On March 23, 1901 he became mail carrier on R.Rt. NO. 39, and served there until April 16, 1903. About that time he began rapidly going down hill physically, and was bedfast up to a few weeks ago, before which he could be seen on the street and at church. A couple of weeks ago he was suddenly taken ill, and inevitable death hovered over his form until it drew the last breath of life from him Saturday night Feb 27, 1901. The funeral was conducted from the Christian church here Monday st 2:p.m. under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of which he was a member, also of the M.W A.. The remains were placed in the Clark Cemetery.
