Friends of L. V. Yoas were shocked when the message came that he had passed away of a heart attack on Jan 3. Mr. Yoas was born to Sofford and Hannah Yoas on Sept. 25, 1891 at Lowell, Kansas. He came to Ganado with his parents when a lad in Oct. 1907 and had lived in Jackson County on his farm south of Ganado ever since. In June 1956 he was married to Mrs. Katherine Eutcher from Chicago, Illinois. He is survived by his wife, three brothers, Ernest of Little Kentucky, Everett of Texas City and Forest of Edna; one sister, Mrs. Hortense Yoas Jones of Dickerson and five nephews and two nieces. Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church at Ganado Sunday Jan. 5 with Rev. E. E. Reeves officiating. Interment as made in Ganado Cemetery. Pallbearers were Reuben Kramer, Malbert Adler, Forest Ludwig, Herbert Schveneberg, Howard Martin and Jerry Peters. Honorary pallbearers were Forest Knudson, Ben Huseman, John Kramer, W. H. Huseman, B. H. Pearce, E. V. Stephenson, Hershell Lambert, Lee Martin, Robert DeHaven, Harry Englemohr, Dave Feltman, Walter Schomberg, Gus Englemohr and Alvin Girndt. The array of flowers and the host of friends gathered there bespoke the esteem in which Mr. Yoas was held. Those from away who attended were: Everett C. Yoas and Charles Yoas of Texas City, Mrs. Hortense Jones of Dickinson, Howard and Ralph Yoas from Austin; Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ramsey, Mr. and Mrs. Doyle McElroy, Mrs. Agnes Spangle, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. McClung, all of Cuero. Mr. and Mrs. Edmond Skloss of Vanderbilt, Mrs. Edith Clohesy of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Joe McMahon of Georgetown; from Edna were Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Seidel, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Burditt, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Brown, Dr. and Mrs. D. M. McCall, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Pearce, Claudius Branch and Lewis Watson. Also Mr. and Mrs. Winfred Martin of Freeport, Arson Richino of Viden, New Mexico, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cornelius of Midfields, E. V. Stephenson and daughters of Yoakum, Jessie Thomas Crowell, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Roome, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Schoeneberg all of Louise, and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Brady from Houston. L. W. Yoas was a man of sterling worth, a man who gave his best in any undertaking, yet of such a retiring nature that he brushed aside any praise with a slow smile as if to say, “That’s part of my being here. I live for my friends.” To him, his neighbor was one whose need he had the power to supply. He loved to live. He loved to give. He numbered his friends by his acquaintances. For Leonard “To live was Christ and to die was his gain.” We shall miss him from our midst, still we feel that, since he loved nature and walked with God, “over there” all is well, and that the master has welcomed our friend, “Well done!” To his loved ones let us say: He’s not dead, he’s just away; the “house” he lived in is under the sod, but he, himself, is home with God. Try to live so that each day you’ll be ready when God shall say, “Come higher, be at Home, in the blessed Upper Room.”—(Contributed by a friend.)
