William Yardley, a long-time resident of this city, died this morning at Auburn, R.I., at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. P. Orr. He leaves a widow and four daughters, Mrs. Orr, Mrs. H.

The funeral will be held in Forster’s funeral parlors Saturday. Burial will be in Forestdale Cemetery.

Mrs. Betsy Yardley — Word has been received of the death at Cranston, R. I., of Mrs. Betsy Yardley, 84, formerly of this city. The body will be brought here Thursday for the funeral at St. Paul’s Episcopal church. Burial will be in Forestdale Cemetery.

Could not find a death notice or obituary for Ann Perkins, presumably the mother of Betsy Perkins Yardley.

A Random tombstone from Elmwood Cemetery.
