From Story County Watchman December 22, 1893
"Cambridge Press: ....Ervin Yocum, who lived northwest of Cambridge, died very suddenly Wednesday afternoon. It seems that on Monday he was husking corn and was taken suddenly ill. Tuesday he gradually grew worse, and on Wednesday his family was called to his bedside to see him breath his last. His body was laid to rest in the Walnut Grove cemetery Thursday afternoon."
This picture is not dated.
I have found him in census reports as Ervin, Irvin and Irving.
