County Mourns Death Of
Hampton B. Yelton Which
Occurred Friday Afternoon.
----------
Mr. Yelton had been in failing health during the past three months and his death was caused from a stroke of paralysis which he suffered Thursday. Having spent the greater part of his lifetime in Shelby county, he had hundreds of friends thruout the community who receive with deepest sorrow and regret the announcement of his death.
He was a son of the late John H. and Mary M. Yelton and was born in Campbell county, Kentucky, June 24, 1851, being at the time of death 74 years and 4 months old. While yet a child, he moved, with his parents, to Johnson county, Indiana, where he grew to manhood. On Oct. 7, 1874, he was united in marriage with Miss Nancy Thurston and for a short time, they resided with his parents in Johnson county, later coming to this community where he had since resided.
To this union, two children, Ernest Yelton and Mrs. Squire Parker, were born. Mrs. Yelton passed away on April 13, 1897, and on Nov. 23, 1898, he was united in a second marriage with Miss Eva Babb. To this union one son, Lowell, was born.
He was a member of the K. of P. lodge at Needham, Ind., and was also affiliated with the Second Mt. Pleasant church. During his long residence in Shelby county, he had held a prominent place in public and agricultural affairs and was one of the staunch citizens of the community. His death removes a man of strong characteristics and brings to an end a career which was marked by success.
Besides the widow, Mrs. Eva Yelton and three children, he leaves one sister, Mrs. John Clark, of Franklin. Contributed by Phyllis Miller Fleming

Aged Resdient of Moral
Township Was Victim
of Paralysis.
----------
Mrs. Yelton was perhaps one of the best known women in Moral township and her death comes as a great shock to her hundreds of friends thruout Shelby county, where she had spent practically her entire life. She was a devoted member of the Second Mt. Pleasant church and always took an interest in all church activities whenever her health permitted her. Being a woman of admirable character she made friends wherever she went and her death is indeed a loss to the community in which she resided.
Her husband preceded her 25 year ago.
She is survived by one son, Hampton Yelton, of this county, and two daughters, Mrs. Gray, at whose home she died and Mrs. Clara Clark of Franklin.
