Sunday's Obituary - Andrew Yawman 1891

This week I am posting the obituary for my 2nd great-grandfather, Andrew Yawman, who died on Christmas Eve 1891. I was surprised that his obituary was so much shorter than that published for his wife, Catherine (Sitterly) Yawman who died in August 1889; her obituary can be found here.

  1. That is indeed short. Do you think the holiday had something to do with the near absence of any content?
