He served in World Wars I and II and was an automobile mechanic by trade.In March 1948, Mr. Yeomans and his family moved from Kingston to Bradford, where they immediately took an active part in town and church activities. Mr. Yeomans served on Council and was very regular in attendance at the United Church, of which he was a member. He had been, and was, until the time of his death, the issuer of motor vehicle licenses for this area.Mr. Yeomans is survived by his wife, the former Ruth M. Pickard, whom he married in Hamilton in 1920; and a family of seven, namely, June (Mrs. George Wartman), Bradford; Robert, Kingston; Violet (Mrs. H. Morrison), Toronto; Bette (Mrs. L. Hare), Bradford; Hobert Jr., Bradford; Gloria, Bradford; James, Bradford, and fifteen grandchildren.The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon, February 24, from Bradford United Church, with temporary entombment at Mount Albert.
