General Notes: Husband - Samuel Yingst, Jr.

---

He attended public school in his native township, and when eighteen years old began learning the carpenter's trade, which he followed until 1902, in various places, although his permanent residence was near the Forks Church. During ten years of this period he took contracts in Leechburg and the surrounding country, building houses, barns and coal tipples, doing a large business. He was also engaged in the flour and feed business at Forks Church, being one of the best known men of Gilpin township.
He was a Democrat. In 1909 he was elected tax collector of Gilpin township, and reelected in 1913, for four years. He was a member of the Lutheran Forks Church, having joined when eighteen years old, and was prominent in its work, serving as deacon for twelve years and trustee nine years. When the new church edifice was built he served on two building committees, giving the church the benefit of his practical experience. Mr. Yingst also gave his services as janitor and sexton of the church he loved so dearly. Fraternally he belonged to the Odd Fellows and the State Grange.
The Yingst family held annual reunions, and Mr. Yingst was very much interested in those gatherings and active in promoting them, having been president of the association from the beginning.
