Hi Larry
Henry E Yingst is my great grandfather, married Mary E Hirst in 1872.Henry died on August 4, 1934,in Toronto, of a heart attack. Mary E Hirst was born Dec 15, 1854,in Union Co. Kentucky, to George Hirst and Tamer (Colclough) Hirst. Mary died in Steubenville,OH, on Feb 12, 1926, of ruptured gallbladder and peritonitis. Both Henry E & Mary E are buried in Knoxville United Presbyterian Church Cemetery, in Jefferson County, Know Township, OH. They lived at 516 Loretta Ave, Toronto for many years, until their deaths. They had 5 children: Margaret, Iona, Reginald (my grandfather), Bessie and Nora.
Henry E was a civil war veteran. There are many newspaper articles and mentions in several books about his being a veteran of the Civil War and the other men in his unit.
Do you have any information about Christina Klingesmith? She is Henry E's mother. I've found a good bit of info about her, but some parts are really sketchy. Her husband, Samuel, died in 1850, leaving her with 6 children under 10. I'm having a hard time locating the children after that, until they are adults. The info is vague about Samuel also. I can't find anything on him from 1795 (born in Bagdad,PA) until 1830 living in Annville Twp,PA.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if you need any other info. My email address is
