    Notes:

    HISTORY AND FAMILIES, BROWN COUNTY, OHIO 1818-1993, pg. 461-462: Donald Eugene Yockey, of Franklin Township, was born on a cold day on Sept. 10, 1923. (Concern was expressed by the "old folks" that in all probability the frost would kill their late potato crop.) He was the third son of Thurman Walter (son of Martin and Catherine (Stephen) Yockey) and Lissie Charlotte (daughter of Carey and Charlotte (Pindell) Prine). Donald's brothers and sisters were Vernon Walter (dying in infancy), Harold Edward (deceased), Lowell Delmar (deceased), Freda Ruth (Yockey) Hendrixson and Charlotte Catherine (Yockey) Bush (deceased).
    He attended the Pindell School for three years then transferred to the new grade school at Ash Ridge. After graduation as class Historian from Russellville High School, he was engaged in farming with his father. After serving a stint in the U. S. Navy during WW11, he returned home to his farming occupation. He also drove a school bus for a few years. Due to war shortages, new buses were not available and the water from muddy road conditions splashed up through the floor board.
    On April 2, 1950, Donald Yockey was united in marriage with Mary Josephine Hockman (daughter of Lee and Martha (Hook) Hockman of Macon). Together, they began their farming career on the 122 acre farm purchased from his father where they are still residing. This farm, situated at the corner of Donald Rd. and Yockey Rd., was known as a plantation at the beginning of the Yockey ownership and has been in the family for well over 150 yrs. Donald Yockey was an industrious and ambitious farmer, improving the land and remodeling the buildings, including a new home. The old house had been a log cabin (probably at the time of Indians) with additions built on. After the death of his father, Thurman, they purchased the home place where Donald was born and reared.
    Being a lifetime member of the Peace Lutheran Church at Arnheim, he served as trustee and deacon at different times. Being community minded, Donald was a member of several organizations; the first steer club in Brown County, Jackson 4-H Club, Franklin Grange, Brown County N.F.O. , Farmers Union, Farm Bureau, and Brown County Agricultural Society. He was the honored recipient of a plaque from the O.F.M.A.-District 4 for 22 years of dedicated service to the Brown County Fair. At the present time, he is serving as a Franklin Township Trustee. Donald Yockey enjoys his children and grandchildren and is very proud of their many accomplishments. Submitted by Dennis Yockey
