"Serene" Atchley obituary [S73] Rawlings Funeral Home, Book 2, 5 Nov 1979. Maude Holbert obituary [S118] History of early Sevier County Doctors , Beulah Linn, (www.sevierlibrary.org/genealogy/doc/doc.htm). Dr. J.L. Yarberry was born May 11,1859 in Sevier County where he attended school during his early years. His first wife, Eliza Flynn, bore him four children: Maggie, Minnie, John, and George. They moved to Missouri where Dr. Yarberry studied medicine in Saint Louis. After the death of his wife he moved back to Sevier County. In 1892, Dr. Yarberry married Martha Ann Atchley and they were the parents of 8 children, three of whom died in infancy. The others were: Maude, Otha, Kate, Ruth, and Luther. Dr. Yarberry began his medical practice in Sevier County in the Allensville Community, now a part of Douglas Dam. He worked out of his home and drove a buggy on his calls. His patients were scattered from Wilhoite, Harrisburg, Walnut Grove, parts of Jefferson County, and the community around his home. During the "Flu" epidemic of 1917, he worked day and night. He was pleased that he did not lose a single patient during the epidemic. He had one of the first telephones in the county. He dispensed most of his medicine himself since it was such a hard trip to go to Sevierville to Lawson's Drugstore. In the winter the roads were almost impassable. In case a patient required surgery, a group of doctors, Dr. Massey, Dr. Rogers, Dr. Flannagan and Dr. Delozier, were called in The operation usually took place on the dining room table. This was a big event for the entire community. Dr. Yarberry was always interested in politics. He served many years as Justice of the Peace for his district. He was a leader in the affairs of the community. Dr. Yarberry died July 19, 1922, and is buried in the Cemetery at Jones Chapel Church.
