While still a small child she moved with her by Roscoe Conklin Yarnell parents to Illinois. She was united in YALE, WILLIAM HENRY marriage to Sherman Henry Yale on December 25, 1874. They had two children, Lillian Mae and William Henry. Lillian Mae married YERSIN FAMILY F786 A.N. Corliss. F784 William Henry Yale was born in Iowa on December 23. 1882 and came to Colorado with his parents in the fall of 1886. This is his story. Father took up a pre-emption in Sec. L2-7-45. There were no railroads here then and we traveled in a covered wagon and brought our household goods with us. Father plowed the land with a tenm of oxen. Father came our in February, 1886, filed on this homestead, and built a small sod shack. Later he built a sod dugout at the back ofthe soddy, and this gave us more room. The lumber needed for our home was hauled from Benkelman, Nebraska. Water was hauled from Lostman (Landsman) Creek, two and one-half miles east of us. Later we had a well dug with I.D. Messenger and his brother doing the work and digging the 170 feet with shovels. Then water was hauled up by a windlass. We used this well almost two years before we put up a windmill. Father got a contract to carry mail and did this for the first three years for $300.00 per year. Tho route was from Jaqua, KS, to Friend, CO. In 1889 a Post Office wag established in our home and named the "Yale Post Office." Then the mail route was from Burlington to Goff, then to Landsman, and then to Yale a distance of fifty-two miles. He made three trips a week using a horse and buggy and in all carried the mail for eleven years. When father got busy at farming, mother would carry the mail. Later Mother was appointed Post Mistress at Yale Post Office, a position she held until 1906 when the post office was discontinued at Rural Routes established. I went to a sod school house one and one- half miles from where we lived. Jas. T. Gilmore was my first teacher and I rode horseback to school. When thirteen ye{us of age I started riding for the BAR-T Ranch and worked we lived. Burt Ragan was foreman at that time and we had about one Thousand head ofcattle on the range then. I helped drive a herd of One Thousand Texas longhorn steers from Ln-ar to the Bar-T Ranch. I remember we had quite a time finding water for such a herd as the only water to be had was in the lagoons. It took us about ten days to make the trip. Our supplies at that time was brought from Bird City, Ks. We made about two trips a year so always got enough to last awhile. We were always fearful of prairie fires for the prairie was always so dry. I well remember one fire that came in from the north and burned elear down to the river. We had such hard working keeping it away from our hay stacks and we ruined a good team of horses plowing fire guards to turn it. My father was elected County Assessor in 1902 and I helped him for awhile in the office. I think my family was 4mong the earliest settlers here. But father having the mail contract gave us money to live on and we did She was a member of the Christian Church in Burlington in 1896 and later moved her membership to the Seven Day Adventist church at Stratton. She died October 22, 1929. Sherman Henry Yale died in 1922. by Marlyn llasart YARNELL FAMILY F785 I was born in Shelby County, Illinois, on July 19, 1873, and when eleven years of age came with my parents to Nebraska in a covered wagon. Father came to Colorado in the spring of 1888, and took a homestead and in the fall of the same year my two brothersin-law, V.H. Chandler and James Sparks, built a sod house on the claim and in the spring of 1889, we went to Haigler, Neb., by train, and there bought a wagon, five head of horses, three cows, and a calf, four hogs, and two dozen chickens. and came overland to Burlington, Colorado. We went at once to the sod house prepared for us, and soon got settled in our new home. Water was hauled from Lostman's Creek. about four and onehalf miles away, for about a year. Then we dug a well 130 feet deep and got 16 feet of water, which was hauled up by a windlass until we got a windmill. We did little farming, but could not make a living by doing this, so I did whatever work I could find to help the family. I hauled hay, plowed tree claims, helped run a threshing machine, did whatever I could. I remember the first Fourth of July Celebration I ever attended in Burlington; there was dancing, horse-racing, (I had a pony in the pony race) and it won and I got a prize of $3.00. This little pony had been caught on the prairie by Jim Sparks, and was about a year old that spring, the prettiest little thing I ever saw. There was a big tent Charles Albert Yersin was born in Switzerland in 1847 and came to America with his parents when he was four years old and settled in Missouri. He lived with his uncle, Henry Yersin, who allowed him to go to school "when the work on the farm was done," hence did not get much education. But by studying at home he fitted himself for a teacher. He came to Colorado, accompanied by his father-in-law, in October of 1886 with his wife and three children by way of the Union Pacific railroad to Cheyenne Wells and then by wagon and team to Burlington, Colo. After receiving a permit to teach on trail he taught school in a one room sod building for several years. After studying day and night he received certification to teach the first grade. And in 1870 he was ordained a Christian minister of the Gospel and at times was the only minister in the county who could perform a marriage service. On July 29, LgI4 he married his son W.H. Yersin to Alta B. Schaeffer of Montpelier, Ohio who came to Bethune in 1909 to teach school. W.H. Yersin opened a combination general store post office on Sept. 19th, 1910 in Bethune, Colorado. The Yersins homesteaded north of Bethune. Colo. after their marriage and in 1914 purchased the Red Front Market in Burlington, Colo. On Nov. 15th, 1916 Alta B. Yersin gave birth to a son, William Yersin, who through boyhood attended school in Burlington and after graduation received his degree from Denver University and New Mexico University in anthropology. William later went on to serve in the Colorado legislature from 1948 to 1952 and in 1948 married Naomi R. Thompson of Denver, Colo. William and Naomi had a son, Kenneth Yersin. Kenneth Yersin, aftcr attending Burlington Schools, married Della K. Webb in 1959. Of this marriage were born two sons Lincoln B. Yersin and Sullivan A.

Sullivan A. Yersin received his grade and The year 1894 was a bad year, so dry that no crops or feed was raised anywhere, so we moved to Burlington and mother operated the old "Burlington Hotel", then located on the west side of Main Street. In 1899, I built a livery barn, and ran it till 1902 and then I traded it for the old Montezuma Hotel, and since that time I have been engaged in the hotel and restaurant business. The old barn still stands on the same location. and is the only feed barn in Burlington. I built the new Burlington Hotel, and several houses here; I have seen Burlington grow from a few little houses to the nicest little tov"n in Eastern Colo.

He attended Colorado Institute of Art in Denver, Colo. and will receive his degree in Photography in 1988. by Ken Yersin �YERSIN, CHARLES ALBERT w87 Born 1847 in Switzerland. Came to Missouri with parents when four years old. Lived with a uncle who allowed him to go to school "when the work on the farm was done" hence his education was limited. but by studying at home he fitted himself for teaching. Came to Colorado in October, 1888, with his wife and three children. Came by Union Pacific railroad to Cheyenne Wells, then the next morning hired a man with a small wagon and tea- of ponies to drive the forty miles across country to their new home on the plains. They brought with them clothing, bedding, cooking utensils, and about a thousand pounds of pork, for they butchered five or six hogs before leaving Missouri. He always liked plenty of meat at every meal. The road was heavy and the weather was threatening and at that time there were but two houses on the forty mile trip. At the six-mile house we got our first sight of the prairie dogs and snow birds, about the only living things we saw on the lonesome road. No trees, fences, not even grain of any kind. It seemed a most desolate and dreary land. We wished we were back in Missouri and had we been at the depot, we would have been tempted to take I had taught one short term of school and never expected to teach again but when crops failed year after year, and one of our horses wandered out of the barn one stormy night and died in the cold, we wondered just how we were to live. So I got out my books and spent some time studying and then got a ponies were becoming very tired and we did not want to be out on the prairie if they became unable to travel on. When we reached this house the owner informed us that he did not keep a hotel and could not take us in. Then he told us of a settler who had built a long sod house about two miles northeast of the "half-way house" and that he had plenty ofroom and he would take care ofus. Though it was getting very cold and storm clouds were threatening us, we had to drive over a rough, hilly route, the hardest part of the trip. However, we made it just as a regular blizzard struck us in all it.s fury. The owners of the home came out and welcomed us and took us in for the night. The sod house was thirty-five feet long and twelve feet wide, and was divided in the center by a canvas cover, one end ofthe house being used by the women and the other by the men. We all slept comfortably and well. The next morning the storm had abated and although it was very cold, we started for our homestead on the SW% of Sec. 19-9-44. This was eight miles away and by piling our boxes in the front end of the wagon to form a windbreak for my wife and children, we got through without anyone freezing. My father-in-law, Mr. Reed, who had accompanied us from Missouri, had taken a Yersin. by Ken Yersin permit to teach. The school was a sod building some ten miles southeast of our home. I took a supply of "grub" and some bedding and moved into the two roomed building, using the one room as a living room and the other as a school room. Teaching during the day and studying half the night, I completed four month term. I little later I got my First Grade Certificate and after that taught two or three terms in the county. I was ordained a Christian minister on the Gospel in 1870 and have been at times the only minister in the County who could perform a marriage service. I have driven many miles over the prairie in a lumber wagon to preach, to perform a maniage ceremony, or to speak the last words over the dead. I am proud of Kit Carson County and proud of Burlington, which I have helped to build. I have been here since I heard the first bell ring on the first engine of the first Rock Island train through Burlington. by Jayne Hubbell the first train east. The weather continued threatening and we discussed the possibility ofstaying over night at the "half-way house" for it seemed that the He died in January of 1980 survived by his wife, Teddy, his son, Kenneth and his wife Della; two grandsons, Lincoln and Sullivan YERSIN, \M.

His hobbies were anthropology, geology Africa. In the early 1800's five brothers came to America from Switzerland. The name was spelled with 4 "2". The five brothers changed the "z" to "s".

We hauled water from the nearest neighbor's home. Later we tried to dig a well on this land, but found it impossible owing to the innumerable small boulders and sandy condition of the soil. All wells were dug by hand in those days, which often proved difficult and costly.

Their home was made of adobe, a long building with mud floors, a grainery, horse barn, and a cattle shed, all under one roof, of which much of it is still standing.

We sold the cream and eggs and that was my mother's money to feed and clothe the family. I must say, she managed quite well. For meat, they did their own butchering, mostly pork, cured the bacon and hams, fryed the other meat and put it in a crock and covered it with the rendered lard and kept it in a dug out cellar. Poultry was dressed as they were used. Mother baked the bread, sewed most of the clothes and she was always busy knitting mittens and stockings for the smaller children. All of us children received our education in the one-room "IJnion School" of 8 grades. We usually walked the 2/z miles to and from school, unless it was bad weather, then they took us by horse and wagon and later by car, which was not very often. For entertainment the various country schools took turns of inviting another school in on Friday afternoons for baseball games, cypher down contests, (spelling and arithmetic), etc. Box suppers and literaries with all the family attending were always fun.

Once again they returned to the family farm near Bethune (no place like home). In 1950, when all their children had married and on their own, they moved to Burlington, Colo. and my younger brother Fred continued farming the home place. In 1933, I married Emil Strobel who lived on a farm 5 miles north of my folks; he inherited the home place from his parents, which was also his birthplace and their homestead.
