Popular legend has it that his servant Wiley Jones either accompanied the Colonels body, or took his personal effects to Col. Yell's wife who was living in Monticello, Ark. I know that Col. Yells father, Major General James Yell who died in 1867, is buried in the Bellwood cemetery. I am not certain IF Maj. Gen. Yell had his son's body moved to Pine Bluff after the war or not.
