James Carey Yates, Sr.

A talented good man. He was an extreme extrovert and knew most people in this county and adjacent counties. He put this talent to use buying and selling just about everything and made a good living at it. He had near perfect hand/eye coordination. He could juggle and play spoons. I witnessed him shoot a full speed flying dove with one shot with a 22 rifle. He could do one-arm chin-ups into his late 40s. He was a family man and took us to see America and Europe.
