SUMMERFIELD -- Mrs. Sylvester Yeagle, 84, died Monday. She
broke her hip about 10 months ago and had been in Good Samaritan

Surviving are three children, Ignatz of the home, William, of Canton,

William was born to Theresa Schafer before her marriage to Sylvester Yeagle. The name of his father is not recorded by Delores Snider in "St. Mary's -- 150 Years." He is listed as the 18 year old son of Sylvester Yeagle in the 1900 census. (William and Theresa had only been married for 13 years.) His surname here will be recorded as Yeagle.
In 1900, 18 year old William lived with his mother, step father, Sylvester Yeagle, and several step-siblings on Sylvester's farm in Stock Twp., Noble County, Ohio. According to the census, William was born in Ohio to German-born parents. His occupation in 1900 was "farm laborer."
William Yeagle was living in Caldwell, Ohio in 1933, according to the obituary of his step-sister, Margaret Yeagle Schott. He was still in Canton when his mother passed away in 1943.
World War I draft registration records show a Charles Leo Anthony of 2000 Hampton Ave., Swissvale, Allegheny Co. PA. The record indicates he was tall and slender, with blue eyes and light hair. He worked as a brakeman on the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad.
In 1930, Charles J. Anthony (42) and his wife Anna M. (42) owned a home worth $10,000 at 2238 Adamston Ave. in Swissvale, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Living with them was their daughter, Florence. Charles was employed as a brakeman for a steam railroad. He was a veteran of World War I. Charles' parents were natives of Ireland. The Anthony family owned a radio set.
Anna Anthony lived in Swissvale, Allegheny Co., PA in 1949.
In 1880, 25 year old unmarried Peter Schott lived and worked on his parents' farm in Enoch Twp. According to the census, he attended school that year.
From the Fulda Locals column of The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 12 May1881:
Peter Schad was married on Thursday morning to Margareth Tarkel
[Yeagle] by Rev. Kluber.From the Fulda Locals column of The Caldwell Citizens' Press, 25 Aug 1881:
Peter Ruppel sold some town lots to Peter Schad [Schott] at $90 an acre.In 1900, 45 year old farmer Peter Shott lived on a farm that he owned in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his 35 year old wife, Margaret and five children: Mollie (18), John (15), Frona (13), Earnest (10), and Clarence (3). Only Frona and Ernest attended school that year.
According to the census, five of Margaret Yeagle Schott's six children were alive in 1900. (The Schott's daughter infant Cora died in 1895.) Margaret could not read or write English, although she did speak the language. At the time of the 1910 census, 48 year old widowed Margaret Shott lived with three of her children: Frona H (22), Ernest S (20), and Clarance J (13).
Margaret's great-grandson Dennis Valot, says that Margaret Yeagle Schott lived with his grandparents, Albert and Amelia (Schott) Roehrig and their children. Dennis says "When, as a child, I found a wooden clothes hanger with a letter I didn't recognize hand-written on it, my aunts told me that it belonged to Margaret. The "S" was a German ß. She had written the first letter of her last name on it.
Although she was able to speak and understand some English, Margaret refused to speak English because "it was a Protestant language."
"I guess religious bigotry ran both ways" said her great-grandson Dennis.
Margaret Yeagle Schott's obituary was published in the Zanesville Signal on 26 Jan 1933:
