He had been as well as usual, until early Friday morning when he was stricken with cerebral hemorrhage which affected his right side and made it impossible for him to speak. His loving smile and very slight nod were the only apparent evidence that he knew and appreciated what loving hearts and kind hands tried so hard to do to bring comfort to his soul and rest to his body. He seemed conscious at times almost to the last when he peacefully fell asleep in Jesus early Tuesday morning July 31. Before be was a year old his parents moved to Ohio where his father died when he was four years old, leaving his mother a widow with five small children. The three brothers Levi, Eli, and Jonathan, and sister Mattie all preceded him in death. He was united in matrimony to Malinda Warey of Sturgis, Mich., on November 21, 1876. They settled in Lagrange County, Indiana where they lived nine years after which he brought his family to Johnson County, Iowa to the community in which he lived the remainder of his life. This union was blessed with the rare privilege of almost fifty-eight years of married life, a family of eight children, the youngest being now 38 years of age, and all together with their mother were able to gather at his bedside and help minister to father's last earthly needs. How devoutly thankful we should be to God for this privilege and how we should pray and live that as our family circle here becomes smaller it may grow in Heaven where we trust father awaits us. The children are Saloma, wife of the late A. I. Yoder of West Liberty, Ohio; Nannie, wife of Amos Gingerich of Hesston, Kansas; Oliver of Washington, Illinois; Mary, wife of C. F. Hershberger; Emma, wife of J. P. Miller; Chris and Truman, all of the home community, and Clara at home. These with his mother and half-sister, Lizzie Peachy of West Liberty, Ohio, 36 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and a host of friends and neighbors will miss him here and feel the loss of a kind, loving, and exemplary husband and father, grandfather, neighbor and friend. Bro. Yoder was converted and united with the Mennonite church in his youth. He was chosen to the office of deacon by his church and ordained by Bishop Sebastian Gerig in 1891, in which capacity he served the church faithfully for forty-three years. In his work be was kind but firm, true to what he believed right yet considerate for the convictions of others, patient and kind in his dealing with erring ones. The church has lost a faithful servant, the wife a loving husband, the children a kind father, the community an exemplary citizen. We trust our earthly loss is his eternal gain. Funeral services were held Thursday, August 2 at East Union church conducted by D. J. Fisher, Joe C. Brenneman and others. Interment in cemetery near by.
