ROBERT
YEOMAN, son of Ira and Oce (McElwain) Yeoman,
was born on the old homestead, one and one-half miles west
of his present home, April 13, 1831. He spent his
youth on the farm, and enjoyed few educational advantages.
In January 6, 1853, he was united in marriage to
Elizabeth, daughter of John A. Hill, who bore him
five children: Osco, Sarah J., Ella E., Emma F.,
and William Ira; the latter deceased. Mrs.
Yeoman died, Oct. 11, 1863, and on the 23d of Mar. 1865,
he married Caroline H., daughter of Joseph Parker,
of Warren County, the result being nine children: Mary O.,
Joseph W., Effie J., Mattie E., Robert S., Madora
C., Arthur Earl, Lula, and Bertha Ellen; all
living. Mrs. Yeoman is a member of the Paint
Baptist Church.
Since 1856, Mr. Yeoman has been a Republican,
having been a Democrat prior to that time. In the fall
of 1874, he was elected justice of the peace, and served six
years. He was a member of Company I, 168th O. V. N.
G.; he was called out, May 1864, and served four months, and
participated in the battle of Cynthiana. He purchased
his present farm, located about one mile from Good Hope, on
the old Miami trace (the oldest road laid off in the county,
being opened from Frankfort, or Oldtown, to the Miami
River), March, 1865. It contains one hundred and
thirty-eight and one-half acres, richly improved, and is one
of the most desirable farms in the township. |
