     The body of 85-year-old Frank Yeackel was found in the ashes of his small two-room home near White Swan Monday.
     Fire was reported about 4:15 p.m. by neighbors who had to drive to White Swan to report the fire. The house was completely engulfed in flames when the firemen arrived.
     Frank Yeackel is a half brother to the father of August Jackel and Charles Yeackel and was distantly related to others in the Centerville area.
     Graveside services were held at the Centerville Cemetery Wednesday morning. Rev. W. Nesbitt Byars conducted the service.
