Lillie Estella Yetter, 71, passed away at 4:15 a.m. this morning at her home in Fountain Green.

Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Majorville church, and burial will be in Majorville cemetery.  Friends may call at the late residence after this evening, when the body will be removed from the Lady funeral home in Macomb.

The daughter of Isaac N. and Mary Ellen Duffy Hobart, she was born January 29, 1870, in Fountain Green township*.  She was 71 years, five months and three days of age at the time of her death.  Her parents are deceased.

Married to Maurice H. Yetter, who survives, she leaves the following children: Mrs. Roy Rich and Mrs. Irwin Hardisty of LaHarpe, Jenning B. Yetter and Mrs. Paul Anderson of Burlington, Ia., Harry G. Yetter of Colchester, M. Ross Yetter of Carthage, Mabet [sic] Huston of Fountain Green and Fay Hobart Yetter, at home.  One son, Lewis, died in 1912.

She is survived, in addition, by two sisters, mrs. John Heron of Gering, Neb., and Mrs. Will Thompson of Carthage.  One brother, Newton Hobart, preceded her in death.  She leaves twelve grandchildren.

Her parents were both born in Hancock township of Hancock county.

*Lillie's obituary reported she was born in Fountain Green Township.  A biography of her father said all of the Hobart children were born in Hancock Township.  Census records tend to support the latter location.

Her given name, when used, was most often spelled Lillie: marriage license, death certificate and obituary.

Morris Yetter's eldest son, aged about 19 died in Blandinsville Sunday afternoon about 1:30. He had gone with his parents and a brother Sunday afternoon to that town and became very ill. Medical aid was secured but nothing availed to save his life.  He had been afflicted with heart disease for several years and the case was pronounced an incurable one.  The funeral was held at Majorville Church at eleven Tuesday morning, Rev. Mr. Gray conducting the services.

This obituary, from an unknown original news source, was published Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1913. The previous Sunday was December 29, 1912.
