     J. R. Barkly Yelton was born on 6 August 1874.¹ He was the son of James Lowery Yelton and Florida Castle.¹ J. R. Barkly Yelton died on 29 September 1878 Mt. Sylvan, Texas, J. R. B. Yelton, son of Rev. J. L. and Florida Yelton,
was born August 6, 1874; departed this life Sept. 29, 1878,
aged 4 years 1 month and 23 days. Little Barkly was taken with
congestion on Saturday evening, and died Sunday night. He suffered
a great deal, until his parents, in their prayers, resigned him to
their Heavenly Father, and besought that the sufferings of their
child would end. His last moments were passed without a struggle,
and with no apparent pain. Barkly was an unusually promising child,
with very quick perception for one of his age. Was often anxious
to know of the Lord's dealings with his creatures. Now he is where
the goodness of God will unfold to him continually. Thus death has
robbed Brother and Sister Yelton of their only son. But he has only
passed over the river to join his little sister and await the
coming of his parents. The parting here causes the heart to bleed
with many lonely hours of waiting and wishing, yet if borne with
patience and resignation, the meeting and reunion on the shores
of eternity will more than compensate.

"Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast:
There by his love o'er shadowed
Sweetly his soul shall rest."

E. S. Williams.
