Yoder, son of Yost and Eliza-beth Hochstettler Yoder, was born in Somerset Co., Pa., April 1, 1853; passed away Feb. 29, 1944, at the home of his son Mahlon, Wellman, Ia.; aged 90 y. 10 m. 28 d. At the age of 2 he came with his parents to Elkhart Co., Ind., and at the age of 11, the family moved to Iowa Co., Ia. He lived in this immediate community the remainder of his life, spending the last 7 years with his son Mahlon. In early life he became a member of the church of his choice in which faith he remained faithful until death. On Jan. 6, 1876, he was united in marriage with Anna Wertz who preceded him in death in 1932. To this union were born 10 children: Mahlon, Elmer, Daniel, Lena (Mrs. Elmer Bon-trager), Charles, Eliza (Mrs. Abner Miller), Lewis, Melvin, Uril, and Willard. These 10 children survive him as well as 2 half sisters (Mrs. Ida Hershberger and Mrs. C. C. Swart-zendruber), 29 grandchildren, and 42 great-grandchildren. Bro. Yoder was blest with good health and was known throughout his active life as an industrious, hard-working farmer. With many of our other pioneers, he contributed much to making possible the many blessings many of us otherwise could not enjoy now. He was also concerned for the spiritual needs of his family and was increasingly interested in the welfare of his descendents and the church as be grew older. Funeral services were held at the Lower Deer Creek Church. Kalona, Ia., by Bros. J. Y. Swartzendruber and J. L. Hershberger My mother remembers attending Ely's funeral when she was seven years old. She has a vivid memory of "a sea of black dresses and black hats" TLW
