*******************
The Yule Family Archives have received a number of newspaper clippings, photographs, and letters from Mr. Guthrie in Indianapolis. They are all pertaining to Edwin and Minnie (ROBINSON) YULE of Indianapolis.
Edwin C. Yule was born 7 Dec. 1874, Indianapolis, Indiana and died 22 February 1968. He married Minnie Robertson, April 15, 1900, Indianapolis.
From
his social security application, he gave his parents as Samuel Trescott Yule
and Margaret Bowen.
Minnie
was born in Edgar County, Illinois the daughter of Albert O. and Sarah Jane
(CAIN) ROBINSON.
There is only one of the clippings, which
identifies the newspaper as the Indianapolis News. Very few of the
photographs have names on the back. I will be glad to share the information
with anyone researching this line.

Indianans
Commute to New ‘Home’ Here (San Diego CA. no newspaper
and no date)
E.C.
Yule of Indianapolis says the old rule about not having a cake and eating it
too, will not accurately apply to his residency.
“My
wife and I came to San Diego three years ago and we liked it so much we decided
to buy a home here,” he said yesterday in an interview at the I.S. Grant Hotel.
“But
when we were ready to make the purchase.” Mrs. Yule cut in, “we realized it was
far too far from public transportation. We are a little too old to drive a
car.” (Yule, a retired milk company employee, is 81. Mrs. Yule is 79.)
‘Got
a Good Idea’
“So
we got a good idea,” Yule went on. “We decided we’d keep our place in
Indianapolis and travel back and forth to San Diego on the money we’d have paid
for a house here. It’s worked out good too. We don’t only spend the winter here
where it’s warm but we’ve been out only once in the summer.”
“I
not only get to enjoy the climate here but I still see my friends in
Indianapolis,” Mrs. Yule said.
The
Yules feel the arrangement can go on indefinitely because the travel fund is
augmented by the rental of their Indianapolis house. They plan to rent and
apartment here today.
Mr.
and Mrs. Edwin C. YULE, 550 North Gray Street, married on Easter Sunday, 1900,
observed their 50th wedding anniversary yesterday.
They
will have a celebration today at Paris, Illinois, Mrs. Yule’s birthplace. Mrs.
Yule is 73 years old and her husband is 75.
A
lifelong Indianapolis resident, Mr. Yule has been employed by the Polk Sanitary
Milk Company the last 29 years and previously was employed 23 years by A. B.
Meyer & Co., pioneer fuel and material company.
Mrs. Sarah Jane Robinson was born June 6, 1859, in Edgar County near Paris, Illinois and passed away at the home of her daughter, August 17, 1943. She was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Cain, who came from Virginia, and was the last of eleven children. She came to Indianapolis 66 years ago, and was married to Albert O. Robinson in 1875. To this union were born three children, Mrs. E. C. Yule of this city, Elmer O. Robinson of Hot Springs, Arkansas, and J. E. Robinson, deceased. Other survivors are two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
She was one who loved many things pertaining to nature, and her ambition was to live among her flowers. She had a host of friends among whom she delighted to mingle. She was a member of the Centenary Christian Church.
The Mortuary Register of Visitors gave her date of birth as June 6, 1859.
Remembrance:
Robinson: In loving memory of Sarah J. Robinson, who passed away a year ago today.
In my heart your memory lingers,
Always tender, fond and true;
There’s not a day, dear mother,
I do not think of you.
Daughter, Mrs. E. C. Yule

Indianapolis News, Saturday December 14, 1957
Where Indianapolis Works: Polk Sanitary Milk co.
One hot summer day 64 years ago a man with a horse
and buggy began a milk route here. He covered 3 miles a day, using a hand
dipper to fill housewives’ pitchers from 10-gallon cans.
The man was Samuel O. Dungan. The date was July
1893. The milk route was the beginning of the Polk Sanitary Milk Co.
Today Polk’s, with plant and offices at 1100 E. 15th,
turns out some 100,000 bottles of milk a day and delivers it with a fleet of
150 vehicles. Its modern processing plant here also supplies distribution
centers at Bloomington and Franklin.
Polk’s plant, built in 1910, had a new rotary bottle
filler and capper and other machinery that made it a model for at least 75
other plants in America. Sic years later it installed the first brush type
bottle washer, which it helped develop.
Polk once operated its own prize dairy herd at
Greenwood but growth of the business outstripped the farm’s capacity. The
company now depends on 3,000 Indiana dairy farmers for its milk Supply.
Current employment at Polk’s is more than 350 and 59
employees have been with the firm 20 years or more.
Edwin Yule worked here for over 29 years.
