Janet's Obituary

JANET "NETTI" LEVI (YARDLEY)--Died, in this city (Beaver), on January 14, 1888. Nettie Yardley, wife of William Yardley, and daughter of David and Ann Levi. Deceased was born at North Ogden, Weber County, March 19, 1862.

Sister Yardley was well and favorably known for her many good qualities, was an active member of the Y.L.M.L.A. of Beaver City, and for some time was associated with the presidency of that organization.

During her lifetime she had won many warm friends as was attested at the funeral services which were held in the Beaver meeting house on Monday, January 16th. The house was full to its utmost capacity with friends and sympathizers.

Consolatory remarks were offered by Elders James Low, W. J. Cox, Bishop J. Smith, Counselor Wm Robinson and Pres. J. R. Murdock. The body was followed to the cemetery by a vast cortege. It can be truthfully said that she had lived and died a true Saint of God.--Beaver Utonian and Deseret News
