Hamilton Yeager, the aged victim of the so-called Quinneyville outrage of two years ago, died at his home Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Death was indirectly due to the brutal treatment the old man received at the hands of the four ruffians who broke into his home and robbed it. Since that time the old gentleman's physical condition has been failing. It was in July, 1906, that the crime occurred. The Yeager house was located just across the Broome county line in Chenango county, north of North Fenton. At about midnight the house was broken into by four men or boys, who overpowered the family and tortured Yeager to make him reveal the whereabouts of his valuables. Among the things stolen was a gold watch. A few days after the crime, four young fellows, Marshman, Bingham, Church, and Pangborn, were arrested and on the strength of an alleged confession by Marshman, the last three have since been sent to Auburn prison. Mr. Yeager was seventy-five years old and is survived by his wife. The funeral will be held today at 11 o'clock from the home in the town of Greene, near Fenton.[Bainbridge Republican, May 7, 1908]
