William Earl Yeager, better known as Bill, went to be with our Lord and Savior on January 14, 2023. He was born to Howard Bryant Yeager and Hatti Neeley Yeager on July 13, 1937. As a young boy, Bill spent his days exploring the countryside outside of Bryan, TX where his parents owned a dairy farm. He developed a deep love of fishing and hunting, and passed this knowledge on to his own boys later in life. Bill graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1960 with a degree in pharmacy. His career began in Dallas and later continued in Frankston, TX when he opened Frankston Pharmacy. Bill raised his four children, Bryant, Leigh, Gayle, and Paul, in Frankston where he was very active in the community. Bill was truly a jack of all trades. For instance, he served as a Deputy Constable for Anderson County, owned and operated a 30-acre crawfish farm named Caddo Creek Crawfish, ran an apiary of 100 hives of honey bees, and owned 80 head of Brangus cattle. He did all of this while simultaneously running the Frankston Pharmacy. Bill was also proud to serve in the Army National Guard of Texas. In 1988, Bill married Patricia Yeager. They were married for 34 wonderful years and went on many adventures together. After retiring, Bill and Pat moved to Palacios, Texas so Bill could spend the rest of his days doing what he loved the most…fishing. Bill loved the Lord and went on mission trips all over the world to spread the Gospel. He was a proud member of the men’s singing group The Coastalaires and, more recently, the Singing Men of Southeast Texas. He thoroughly enjoyed singing for the Lord and this brought him tremendous joy and pride. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Hatti Yeager, his brother, Robert Yeager, and his beloved grandson, Luke Yeager. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Yeager, and his children, William Booth, Bryant Yeager, Gayle Hubbard (Jeremy), Leigh Tenhet, Zachary Paul Yeager (Linsey), and Chris Skoglund (Mindy). He is also survived by eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren, along with his ever-faithful companion, a chocolate Labrador named Queenie. The Celebration of Life will be held 10:30 AM Thursday, January 19, 2023 at the First Baptist church in Palacios. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to First Baptist Church Palacios Building Fund.

Drowned one day after his arrival at Camp Hulen, the body of Roy Jackson Young, aged 44, was returned to his home in Beaumont this week after his body was found on the bay shore in the camp at about 6:00 p. m. last Saturday, just 24 hours after he had walked away from his organization area. After he left his organization Friday at 6:00 p. m. he was not seen again until his body was found at the water’s edge the next evening.

Ruby Ybarra Young, 96, passed on to be with our Lord on September 28, 2021 at Peterson Regional Medical Center in Kerrville, Texas. She was born on July 17, 1925 in Palacios, Texas, to Rosa Flores and Alfonso Ybarra. Ruby was preceded in death by her parents, four brothers, son John Edwin Young, and husband Capt. Edwin Heflin Young, Jr. She is survived by her daughters Elizabeth Y. Bain of Ontario, California, and Carol English Garcia of Palacios, Texas. She graduated from Palacios High School in 1943 along with classmates Irving Petersen and Homer Aparicio, Sr., to name a few. While in school, there was a contest asking for an essay to encourage the purchase of U.S. savings bonds. She won the cash prize. She played first chair clarinet in the band, and sang soprano in the quartet that traveled to Camp Hulen to entertain the soldiers stationed there. Ruby played piano at the Second Presbyterian Church in Palacios for several years. But, her greatest talent was Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff, and frowned when asked to play the famous “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B”. She was very fond of cats, always feeding neighborhood strays. The loss of her beloved cat that escaped a vet clinic led her to invent a restrainer/breeder/bather that later became her first business. She received a patent without any assistance from an attorney; an unusual accomplishment at any age. She was an excellent seamstress, and could duplicate any garment from looking at it in the store window. She also enjoyed cooking, caring for her indoor African violet plants, and painting lovely artwork. She adored her seven grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. In spite of her age, she did not need glasses to read or to drive her Jaguar to eat out daily. She will be greatly missed. A visitation will be held Sunday, October 3, 2021 from 2-4PM at Kerrville Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held Monday, October 4, 2021 at 10AM at Garden of Memories Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction and personal care of the professionals at Kerrville Funeral Home (830) 895-5111.
