Simcoe,
Jan. 28. -- The death took place Thursday at the home just south
of town, of Ansley Yeager widely known horseman, in his 66th year.
Mr. Yeager had
not been in good health for some time.
For many years he
was one of Canada's best known and most successful breeders of hackney
horses, and his stables on Norfolk street south, were the mecca toward
which fanciers from both the United States and Canada turned when in
quest of high class stock.
And for more than
two decades Mr. Yeager was one of the most successful exhibitors at
the larger shows in America and carried the name of Simcoe and Norfolk
into all the great centres of the continent.
Mr. Yeager was
predeceased by his wife about a year ago. He is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. William G. Jackson of Simcoe and Mrs. Wilbur McLachian
[sic] of Hamilton.
