    Death of James Yeazel
    Died near Homer, January 13, about 10 o'clock p.m., James Yeazel, aged 70 years, 10 months and 12 days. "Uncle Jim,' as he was familiarly known, was born near Springfield, Ohio. He was married to Mary Maria Spencer, Sept. 7, 1837. They lived happy together until March 9, 1867, when she was called to meet her Savior. In their 30 years to wedded life, twelve children came to bless their union, seven of whom survive, viz: John and William, who live near East Lynn; Abraham and Inez, who reside in Nebraska; and Abigal, Alice and Mathew, who reside in and near Home, all of whom are married. "Uncle Jim" was one of the oldest pioneers. He came to Illinois 48 years ago, locating one and a quarter miles west of Homer, on the family on which he lived until his death. He was quite successful in the accumulation of this world's goods, and has long been considered one of Homer's wealthiest farmers and stock raisers. His residence, a substantial two-story brick, is one of the best in the county. Two brothers, Jacob and David Yeazel, and two sisters, Sidney Crabell and Sally Smith, survive him, the first named sister having reached the advanced age of 90 years and the second 73 years. The two brothers have also reached a ripe age. James Yeazel was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Babb, in May, 1871; two children was the result of this union. He was not a member of any church. His funeral was preached at the family residence by Rev. J.H. Colwell, at 10 o'clock Saturday, and his remains were laid to rest in the Old Homer cemetery. Thus another old pioneer of Champaign county, from the few who remain, has been called to meet his reward.
