Pernecy Jane Yates is the dau of Pleasant Yates and Harriet McCracy


Obit The Gazette St. Joseph, Mo., Friday, June 8, 1877. Quote:
Death of Pleasant Yates.
Another Pioneer Gone to His Rest
One by one the settlers of the Platte Purchase are gathered to their fathers and the early pioneers are fast becoming extinct.
We are now called upon to chronicle the demise of Mr. Pleasant Yates, who forty years ago settled in this county upon a farm purchased by him about five miles southwest of Agency, at which place he died last Sunday, at the age of seventy-one years.
Pleasant Yates was born near Danville, Kentucky on the 22nd of Feb., 1806, and removed at an early day with his father, Jesse Yates, to Clay county in this state, and from thence, as we have stated, came in 1837 to this county. He cut his way through the heavy timber to his new home, and has toiled there since, rearing a large family of 10 children, six sons and four daughters, who, with their mother, now survive him. He was eminently a man of domestic habits, and although not widely known beyond the limits of his county; was beloved and respected by all who came in contact with him, and his loss will be felt in the community in which he lived. The remains were interred at the cemetery at Agency Ford.
