Oats From 66 Years Ago Preserved By Yost Family
J W Yost of Ephrata preserves a pint of oats harvested on his father George Yost’s Rothsville area farm sixty six years ago. The grain is very hard and kept in a bottle. Yost’s brother W Yost born June of that year, and J W Yost born twenty years later. A large share of that year’s oats was kept by the elder Yost and, on his death, divided among six sons, four of whom survive. The elder Yost intended the oats to pass to his son and future generations as a relic.
