Notes

John H. Yingst, father of John A., was endowed with those sterling qualities of character that win success for a man at whatever he undertakes. Whether carrying on a Pennyslvania farm, conducting a Lebanon city hardware store, or running a Kansas ranch, he threw his undivided energies into his tasks, and met with the merited results. Mr. Yingst was born in 1833, and was reared to farm work. As a young man starting out for himself he naturally turned to agriculture, and he continued this occupation for some years. In early manhood, about 1854, he married Eliza Kreider, of North Lebanon, daughter of Tobias Kreider, and they had two children.

In 1867 Mr Yingst moved with his family to Lebanon, and there opened a hardware store. Working up a large and paying custom he continued this business for a number of years, but desiring to have a hand in the growing industries of the West, in 1876 he disposed of his business and moved to Kansas, where on a large ranch he engaged in the breeding of cattle. Continuing ths business for the rest of his life he became one of the well-to-do cattlemen about Ellsworth, his ranch being located in that section. Hard work finally told upon his health, and in 1888, when scarcely past fifty-five, he died in his Kansas home. As a Republican, Mr. Yingst always manifested a keen interest in politics. Religiously, he belonged to the United Brethren. [Biographical Annals of Lebanon County]
