ABOUT THE COLLECTION THIS CAME FROM:

This came from a fascinating and very rare collection of items that belonged to the Yeakle family. The collection begins in the mid 18th century with Thomas Wilson (an American Revolution veteran), and continues through the Civil War, Mexican War, etc.. We have many items from this collection currently listed in our store, and we will be listing much more (including some of the best items from the collection!) in the coming weeks.

Many of the items pertain to Elizabeth Yeakle and her family, inculding many items that belonged to her son Michael M. Yeakle.

Michael Mahlon Yeakle (Nov. 13, 1814, Hagerstown, Maryland— July 9th, 1899, Louisville, Kentucky)was, aside from being a land examiner, mapmaker and publisher, an evangelist, being one of the leading members of the Lombard Street Evangelical English Lutheran Church, serving not only as Deacon and Elder, but as one of a Committee appointed to revise the Lutheral Hymnal.

He was the First President of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Baltimore, Maryland, elected in 1853. He was well respected in his Baltimore community for his charitable contributions and his high standards of business integrity.He built up a fine mercantile business in imported silks, ribbons, shawls, woolen and straw goods, running the business on both a retail and wholesale basis. Mr. Yeakle’s business interests eventually lead him to New York City, where he became connected with the Dry Goods Firm of Lord, Warren and Evans, and many busy, active years of his life were spent in the middle west and south.

While residing in St. Louis, Mo. he jointed the Sons of the American Revolution, through his ancestor, Thomas Wilson, 1st Lieut. in the Revolutionary War. He was appointed Recording Secretary of the St. Louis Society.

He was editor and publisher of a number of books, among which were exhaustive volumes on the history of “Greater St. Louis” and of “Greater Chicago.” He was the first to publish a book, or treatise, on the then - (1896) - little known “Torrens System” relating to the transfer of the Title in Real Estate.

He married Miss Virginia R. Vinton, daughter of the Rev. Robert Spencer Vinton of the Barlimore City M. E. Conference. Seven children blessed the union, four sons and three daughters, all of whom lived to maturity.
