He came to Virginia with his parents when quite young and had been a resident of Oyster Point ever since. As a youth he had been baptized into the Amish Church, but later left the church and for 23 years had been connected with police work in Warwick Co., besides being the C & O. agent at Oyster Point, and a skilled veterinarian. However, during the past year he made a definite change. He seemed truly converted and became interested and active in Christian work, and we feel satisfied that he was prepared for the change that came so suddenly. He always had a helpful disposition and possessed the faculty of making friends among all classes of people. The tokens of esteem and expressions of grief from rich and poor, colored and white, indicated how widely his influence and kindness had reached. Surviving are 2 brothers, Harvey E. and C. P. Yoder; one foster sister, Mrs. Adam Schmucker, all of Oyster Point; also one to whom he was soon to have been married, besides a number of uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews. The funeral, which was very largely attended, was held at the home of his brother, Harvey E., then at the Baptist Church in charge of the Rev. David Anderson, assisted by Bro. George R. Brunk. Interment was made in the A. M. Cemetery near by.
