Funeral services were conducted yesterday morning at Christ church, Rev. Mr. Brown performing the last sad rites, after which interment was made in St. Michael’s cemetery. The following acted as pallbearers: W. A. Blount, F. C. Brent, Lewis Willis, J. W. Durr, H. S. White and W. K. Hyer, Jr.
Mrs. Yonge was eighty years of age and was one of the most beloved residents of this city. She was consistent member of the Episcopal church, and an earnest church worker.
Mrs. Yonge is survived by one son, P. K. Yonge, and two daughters, Miss Julia Yonge and Mrs. Frank Simmons, and numerous other relatives.
