Sylvia Yeaton represents the standards and qualities of a very long line of Yeaton family members, dating back to 18th Century Hopley Yeaton. He was commissioned by George Washington to command the first ship in the newly-created US Coast Guard. Later, during the 19th century, family members, built the beautiful homes around this lovely region, developed businesses, created music, supported their communities as illustrious leaders, constructed churhes and were school teachers.

How heartwarming it is, during the 21st century, to see that the hardworking, ethical standards of this great Yeaton family, continue to be on display.

Personally, I've turned into a Yeaton Family Wanna-Be. I want to be more like you.
Thank you Sylvia, for your perserverance, hard work, dedication to serving the community and your integrity.report abuse
