Biography of Henry Clay Yeasel

From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
W. H. Beers [Chicago, 1883]


Page 1063

HENRY CLAY YEASEL, blacksmith, Rosedale, one of the prominent business men of Liverpool, was born December 13, 1853, in Clark County, Ohio. His parents are Abraham and Frances Yeasel. Our subject was reared on a farm until nearly fifteen years of age, at which time he came to Mechanicsburg, Champaign County, and with his uncle, C. C. Barr, began the trade of blacksmithing. He remained with his uncle three and one-half years. He then went to Springfield, where he remained several months. From Springfield he returned to Mechanicsburg, at which place he remained nearly three years. On September 19, 1872, he was united in marriage to Miss Josephine Kemmington, daughter of Edward and Catherine Kemmington, of Mechanicsburg. By this union there has been an issue of two children — Lizzie M. and Walter P. In 1878, Mr. Yeasel located at Liverpool, Madison County. In his business line, he does all kinds of general blacksmithing, and, being a first-class workman, deserves the good patronage which he enjoys from the citizens in his locality.
