George and Mary Yeoman came from Illinois to Nebraska in 1877.  They lived for a time in Pierce County and later near Raeville.  After a period of time, they moved to Oakdale and Tilden.  The Yeomans in Illinois were not pleased to see their daughter leave for the wilderness and poverty of Nebraska as they were a well-known affluent family in Illinois.  George and Mary had one daughter, nine months old, when they made the trip.  In Nebraska sons, Clyde and Will were born.  Ida married Frank Bassett and they lived in Tilden until their deaths.
