Elkland Township Loses One of Its Best Citizens

Death has again entered our community and taken from our midst a man of more than ordinary ability. Geo. Yaus was a student. He read much, and in argument he was apt and logical. In conversation he was humorous, and in all his dealings he proved himself to be a man of good judgement and practical worth. Mr. Yaus was born in Germany in the year 1849. Losing his parents in early youth, he was forced to take up the burden of life in his teens. In the year 1872 he was married to Christina Benkelman and the following year they came to this country. Arriving here he settled down in the wilderness back of John Striffler's where he hewed out a home. Later on he sold the place and moved upon the present homestead. Last November, Mr. Yaus was taken sick. At first his condition was not serious, but during the winter he became weaker and in spite of all medical aid he finally succumbed to what has proved to be an abcess in his head. He leaves a wife and three children who have the sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement. The funeral was held last Tuesday from the Evangelical church. It was largely attended which showed that he was held in high esteem in the community.
