In Memory of William S. Yeatman.

Kindly permit me, a nonresident Of your
beautiful city and a subscriber to The Star,
to nav a slight tribute of respect and af-
lection upon the sudden demise of Mr.. Will
liam S. Yeatman late disburSinS officer of

Forming Mr.. Yeatman'S acquaintance
when he was a young man. in 1862 while
he was clerk in the depot quartermaster S
office and living in the close neiShborhood
of his residence, many opportunities Were
given me to mingle in his society and that
of his young family. Mr.. featman was a
true gentleman-a gentleman in all that
goes to make up the various components
of natures nObiemen; devoted and affec-
tomato husband and father: honorable. af-
fable. courteous, with retiring modesty
and thoughtfufnesS of others feelings he
was endeared to a host of acquaintances.
In those days of the civil war Mr.. Yeat-
man was the leader of the choir of ST.
Mark Church. located on what was then
known as the Island. He was a fine bass
singer, and his immediate associates were
worthy of the musical class, who were
wont to assemble at his residence for
musical interchange and practice. In his
clerical capacity Mr.: 1eatrnan was greatly
esteemed by his officials for his prompt
ness thoroughness and kindly courtesy
He passed through all the rising grades of
clerkship until he became the tisbursing
officer of the War Department. a position
requiring the utmost integrity and clear
sighted He was popular officer and
not only had the entire confidence Of the
high officials of the War Department. but
also had the admiration and love OF the
large force of the War Department clerks
with Mr. 4eatman. having my residence in
this city, and it was a shock to me when
i read of his sudden death in The Star. 1t
is a sad qualification to me to pay these
