He accepted Christ in his youth, united with the Mennonite Church, and was baptized by Bishop Jacob F Swartzendruber. He took an active interest in the East Union Church where he was a faithful member at the time of his death, and as long as health permitted was seldom absent. Jan 27, 1894, he was united in matrimony with Maggie A, daughter of Bishop Noah D and Savilla (Gnagy) Yoder. To this union 6 children were born (Laura of Washington; Willis of Lockport, NY; Edwin and Glen of Kalona; Paul of Parnell, Iowa; and 1 infant son, deceased). He was of a family of 13 children, 12 of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. Of these 10 are still living; 5 sisters (Mrs Jacob Shetler and Mrs Daniel Each of Pigeon, Mich, Mrs Ruhama Beachy of Wellman, Mrs John M Yoder and Mrs Henry A Yoder of Parnell); 5 brothers (George of Gashland, Mo, Ezra of Pasadena, Calif, Aaron of Los Angeles, Calif, Samuel of Malvern, Ark, and Daniel J of Kalona). His passing is mourned by the above named and a large number of near relatives and friends. Elmer grew to manhood and lived in the Kalona community his entire life, with the exception of 17 years during which time the family lived at Centralia, Mo. His boyhood was spent helping his father run the Old Deer Creek Mill. After his marriage a home was established at the old historic Wassonville Mill near Wellman, Iowa. A number of years ago he retired and with his wife moved to Kalona, where he lived at the time of his death. For the past two years he had been in failing health and on March 23 of this year, he suffered a stroke, and again on June 23, which was the immediate cause of his death. Funeral services were held June 27 at the East Union Mennonite Church, in charge of Bros D J Fisher and J L Hershberger. Burial in the family lot in the East Union Cemetery. "The room is quiet, all is still, The place is vacant, 'tis God's will; So long you waited for your rest, Our blessed Lord knows what is best." Gospel Herald Vol XXXV, No 18 30 July 1942
