LAWRENCE L. YEAGLEY is
a native of Hancock county, has been in business in several
other Ohio counties and elsewhere, and is now a successful
commission merchant at Fayette, handling a large part of the
poultry and other general produce marked from Fulton county.
Mr. Yeagley was born Oct. 7, 1876, son of
John P. and Savilla (Miller) Yeagley. His parents
were also natives of Hancock county and are now deceased.
Lawrence L. Yeagley acquired a good education,
graduating from the high school of Rawson in his native
county, and from the Ohio Northern University at Ada.
For one year he had a business training as clerk in a
mercantile store at Rawson, and from 1894 until 1896 was
employed at Grover Hill, in Paulding county, after which he
secured an interest in a general merchandise enterprise
there. He continued in that way some ten years, and in
1905 he and Mr. N. V. Turner organized the United
States Cooperage and Handle Company, with a plant at Malden,
Missouri. He was secretary and treasurer of the
company and they did a large business in manufacturing
cooperage wares and implement handles. Mr. Yeagley
continued as secretary and treasurer of the business some
five years. Finally, on account of his wife's health
he returned to Ohio, and at Grover Hill was in the
merchandise business nine months. He sold out, and on
Nov. 1, 1911, came to Fayette, where he bought an
established business for handling poultry, produce and other
products, and has since extended the scope of his
enterprise, having established a branch at Metamora in the
spring of 1917.
Mr. Yeagley is a public spirited citizen, well
known fraternally, is a member of the Fulton County
Executive Committee of the republican party, has been a
member of the Fayette School Board since 1917, and is
affiliated with the Knights of Pythias, the Masonic Lodge at
Fayette, the Royal Arch Chapter and Council at Lyons, and
the Defiance Commandery of the Knights Templar.
In June, 1897, he married Miss Della Scott, a
native of Indiana, and daughter of Henry and Harriet
Scott, of West Union, Ohio. Two children
were born to their marriage: Mildred, who died at the
age of four years, and Paul, born Apr. 20, 1906.

CHARLES E. YOST
is
proprietor of the only newspaper published at Fayette, and
has been a hard working journalist of Fulton county nearly
twenty years. He became well known in the county on
account of his official work as a school man, and he was in
the educational profession for a number of years before his
capital and energies were attracted to the newspaper
business.
Mr. Yost was born at Hebron, in Licking county,
Ohio, in September, 1862, son of John and Delila
(Markley) Yost, his father a native of Virginia and his
mother of Perry county, Ohio. His grandparents,
Peter and Margaret Yost, were Virginians. John
Yost and wife lived in Licking county until 1873, moved
from there to Hancock county, and in 1875 established their
home at Van Wert, where both of them died.
Partly while at home and partly through his own
efforts Charles E. Yost acquired a good education.
He attended grammar and high schools at Middlepoint, Ohio,
also the Fayette Normal, and for about twenty years was one
of the successful teachers and school administrators in
northern Ohio. At one time he was superintendent of
schools at Waldron, Michigan, also at Liberty Center, Ohio,
and was superintendent at Tedrow and at Lyons, being located
three years in the latter place. Some of his vacations
he utilized as an employe in a printing office at Fayette,
and finally, in September, 1901, E. W. Balch started
the Fayette Review. The next June he became sole
owner, and has very ably conducted that paper ever since.
On June 6, 1913, Mr. Yost was commissioned postmaster
of Fayette, which is a third class office.
He is a democrat, and is affiliated with the Knights of
Pythias, Modern Woodmen of America, and Knights of the
Maccabees at Fayette. In August, 1886, he married
Miss Ada Purcell. Mrs. Yost was born near
Percellville, Virginia, a daughter of Lott A. and
Cornelia (Bird) Percell. They have one son,
Gaylord Yost who is married and resides in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
