Hi Eileen:
I noticed Jim just posted the info you required.
Here is her only brother, Alford Harden Yorke who died in 1922 at the age of

PARRSBORO NOTES:
***The community was shocked this morning to hear of the sad and sudden
death from diphtheria, of Alfred, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Edson Yorke of
this town. The deceased, who was only twelve years of age, was a remarkably
smart and bright boy and much beloved by all who knew him. He is survived by
his parents and four sisters, who are all very ill from this dread
disease.***
