ADDITIONAL NOTES: Many of the people above are buried in Berea Cem., Logan Co., KY. My sources for the information on the children are: Kentucky Death Index online, Berea Cem.(Logan Co., KY), 1880,1890, and 1900 Logan Co., KY Federal Census, marriage lookups for Logan Co., KY, and word-of-mouth family history. The information on child #6 is questionable. The 1890 census shows a female child under one in the household, but she is gone by the 1900 census. Her name comes from family stories. Also, Lon YATES (child #1), birthyear in in question. Many sources list it as 1869 and others as 1879. I tend to believe it was 1879.
