Rev. Yocum appears in his later fifties in photo, wearing early small round spectacles. This family is buried at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Westchester County, New York. The photo was found in Granby, Hartford County, Connecticut. A wonderful look at an early Westchester Pastor, Clergy or Minister Yocum. This surname is also seen spelled as Yocom, Youcome, Yokom, Youcom, and Youcum. A rare and wonderful piece.

      Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
