Yancey departed this life on yesterday, at his home in Bedford county. / This well known citizen has probably been for half a century as familiar a figure on the streets of our city as any one of the old landmarks. He was a leading lawyer when Judge Garland, Charles Mosby, and Chiswell Dabney were in their prime. For several terms he represented the city and county in the Legislature, and he was at all times an influential citizen. / For the past two of three years the multiplying infirmities of age have retired him from active participation in business, and his friends have been admonished that the fate, sooner or later inevitable to all, was in his case not far distant. He was a man of marked and positive convictions and characteristics. There was no temporizing or equivocating about him. If the zeal for open, honest avowal of sentiment sometimes carried him to extremes it was 'a fault that leaned to virtue's side.' / Peace to the ashes of the venerable and esteemed old citizen. / He leaves a widow, the sister of Mr. Robert J. Davis, and three sons, Mr. W.T. Yancey, Jr., of Pulaski; Mr. Robert D. Yancey, of this city, and Mr. Charles Yancey, of Bedford; and also a daughter."
