Yocum, Mrs. Dr. James - On Monday morning our community was saddened to hear of the death of Mrs. Dr. James Yocum. Although her death was looked for by many, yet it always startles and touches a cord in the human soul when its presence becomes manifest. She was 45 years of age. Her funeral took place from her late residence in Hayesville. Her remains were followed to the grave by a large circle of friends, whose sympathy extends to the bereaved family. The remarks by G.W. Ball were very touching, and caused many to shed tears in remembrance of dear ones who have passed beyond "the ever and the never". A more extended notice will appear next week. The following week, a more thorough obituary appeared in the paper (13 March 1879, Vol. 4, No. 37) ...DIED -- At her own home in Hayesville, O., March 3d., 1879, Mrs. Dr. James Yocum, aged 45 years, 7 months and 3 days. She was the daughter of Mrs. John Lemon, Of Mifflin, O. Was born July 31st., 1833. When less than one year old her mother died and left her to the care of her grandmother, with whom she remained until she was eight years of age. She then found a home with her aunt, now Mrs. Rebecca Gates. She continued to live with this kind and generous aunt, until she was married. She was united in holy wedlock to Dr. Yocum, in Mifflin, O., June 4th., 1850. They remained here two years and then moved to Mohicanville, O., where they made the short stay of one year, and then came to Hayesville, O., where they continued to reside up to the time she took her flight to Heaven. She was converted and joined the M.E. Church in 1854, and continued to be an esteemed member of the same, until the day of her death. She was suddenly prostrated; and so stubbornly did her disease hold its ground that it baffled medical skill, and marched right on through months of great suffering and ceased not until it had done its dreadful work, and left us nothing but the silent form of our sister stretched upon her couch. She was greatly sustained amid intense suffering, and was perfectly resigned to her Heavenly Father's will, either to depart and be with Christ, or remain to work in his vineyard below. On the day of her death, she was not conscious of anything going on around her. At 11 a.m., March 3d., she simply ceased to breathe; and a true wife, a devoted mother and a Christian left us forever on earth, but will hail us as we approach the other shore. She was the mother of five children, four of whom survive her -- two sons, and two daughters. These, with her husband, a bereaved Church and numerous friends deeply deplore their great loss. Probably no woman in Hayesville and vicinity held a firmer grasp upon public esteem, and one will be more missed than Mrs. Yocum. -- Rev. G.W. Ball, Pastor.HAYESVILLE JOURNAL: 06 March 1879, Vol. 4, No. 36 Submitted by Amy
