K. and Catherine (Plank) Yoder, was born near Smithville, Ohio, Jan. 5, 1866; passed away Nov. 27, 1932, after a few days of intense suffering with heart trouble; aged 66 y. 10 m. 2 d. On Dec. 3, 1899, he was married to Saloma Yoder of Kalona, Iowa. To this union 9 children were born. Two boys (Mark Truman and Jason Elwood) preceded their father to the glory world. Surviving are Ruth (Mrs. Thomas Yoder); Elsie (Mrs. J. Milton Brunk); Mary (Mrs. Newton Yoder); Esther, Estella, Sanford, and Lois at home. Bro. Yoder was converted under the preaching of the late J. S. Coffman, accepted Christ as his personal Savior, and the Mennonite Church as his church home, when a young man. He early consecrated his life in devoted and self-sacrificing service to the Lord and His Church, and served faithfully in the Church in various capacities until his Lord called him home. Ordained as a minister in Tennessee in 1895, he served the Church, as missionary, evangelist, pastor or bishop, as God gave grace, in Tennessee, at the Chicago Mission, in Iowa, in Texas, and finally for 21 years at the South Union congregation, Logan Co., Ohio. As a bishop ordained by the late Bishop Christian Warey for the East and West Union church near Kalona, Iowa, on May 20, 1906, his counsel was sought and freely given in many of the activities of the Church throughout the congregations and conferences. At the time of his death, in addition to the care of his home church and several other congregations as bishop, he was Moderator of the Joint Eastern A. M. and Ohio Conference; Vice President of the Mennonite Board of Education; a member of the General Problems Committee of the Mennonite General Conference; and of the Publishing Committee of the Mennonite Publication Board. In his passing he leaves, besides the sorrowing wife and children, 6 grandchildren, 3 brothers, and 3 sisters; also many near relatives and friends to mourn their loss here on earth. They have reasons to rejoice in the fulfillment of his desire expressed in his dying hours, of being at rest and in his being with those gone before. The family has lost a kind and loving husband and father; the Church an earnest preacher and faithful bishop, as well as a true brother and wise counsellor; the community an intercessor and friend. Funeral services were held Wednesday, Nov. 30, at South Union Church, near West Liberty, Ohio, in charge of bishop S. E. Allgyer, assisted by Daniel Kauffman, S. C. Yoder and others. Burial in cemetery nearby.
