DEATH OF MISS YEATMAN
Former Resident of Prince William Dies After Illness of Several Months
The death of Miss Marinda Alice Yeatman, of Washington on Thursday, December 14, comes as a shock to her many friends in Virginia, as well as in the National Capital.
Miss Yeatman had been in ill health for more than a year but it was not until last June she was called to lay down her daily duties and was confined to the house and verandas. For more than two months she was confined to her room and a great portion of that time to her bed.
Miss Yeatman was the third daughter of the late John H. and Sarah J. Yeatman, who for a number of yers made their home at the old family home, "Foster Hall," in upper Prince William County.
MIss Yeatman leaves two sisters, Miss Emma B. Yeatman and Mrs. S. E. Lynn, widow of the late R. L. Lynn, and one niece, whom s[h]e partially raised, Miss Sadie Yeatman Lynn, all of Washington.
The funeral was held on Tuesday, December 19, from the First Baptist Church, of which the deceased was an active member. Interment, which was private, was in the Yeatman family lot at Congressional Cemetery.
