William M. Yeazell

As printed in 1881

WILLIAM M. YEAZELL, retired farmer and stock-dealer: P. O. Springfield; is a native of Clark County, and a descendant of a pioneer family of Moorefield Township. The subject of this sketch was born in Moorefield Township in 1885; is a son of William and Eliza (Foley) Yeazell. He remained on the farm with his parents during his youth, receiving a limited common-school education. When about 20 years of age, he went into the mill at Moorefield, where he remained about six years. When the war broke out, he returned to the old homestead and assisted his father in farming; in 1862, his father died, and he remained on.the old homestead until 1872, when he removed to Springfield, and has since resided here. Mr. Yeazell still retains the old homestead in Moorefield Township, and, though not permanently engaged in any active business, occasionally purchases a shipment of stock, which, with other occasional speculations, serve the double purpose of employing his time and producing profit. He married, Dec. 11, 1866, Miss Ann Clark, sister of Charles M. Clark, whose biography also appears in this work. Mr. Yeazell's house, No. 425 East High street, purchased just previous to his removal to the city. compares favorably with the fine residences for which this street is noted.
