Timothy Yemm's obits:
Timothy Yemm, Old Time Cuba Resident is Dead
Tim Yemm, a resident of Cuba for nearly fifty years, died at the Fulton county home about 10:30 Monday morning from heart trouble, from which he had suffered for several months. He lacked one day of being eighty-three years of age.
He was born May 27, 1847, in Gloucestershire, England. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Mary Probyn, who used to conduct a restaurant in Canton but is now a resident of Peoria. There is also one granddaughter living. Mrs. Lloyd Tindall, 116 Martin avenue, Canton.
In his younger days, when his wife was living, Tim lived north of town and was noted for his generosity and free heartedness, so much that he was often imposed upon. His wife died about twenty-three years ago and after that the old man fell in hard lines and lost about all he had, finally making his home at the county Farm in the winter and spending the summer at his place north of town, but lately he has been too feeble to live alone.
The body was brought to the Taylor memorial chapel, where the funeral services were conducted by Rev. Langdon, Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock and burial was beside his wife in Cuba cemetery.

Tim Yemm
Funeral services for Tim Yemm, who died at the County Home Monday, were to be held this afternoon at the Taylor Memorial Chapel, Rev. Langdon conducting the service. Coming from England about 50 (hard to read this number) years ago when there was such a heavy influx of English coal miners to this country for 30 years he was a well-known and prosperous citizen of Cuba. Noted for his generosity and free heartedness, he was often imposed on, but he always took it good naturedly. His wife died more thank 20 years ago and since that time the old man had gradually lost all he had. The last two years he had lived at the county home. He lacked one day of being 83 years old.
