David Christian Yoder

YODER.-On the 24th of November, near Middlebury, Elkhart county, Ind., of paralysis Bro David C. Yoder, aged 70 years, 2 months and 24 days. He had been on a visit to three of his children in Iowa a few weeks before his death, and while there felt unwell, but at that time nothing serious was apprehended. He fell calmy to sleep in Jesus. He leaves 6 brothers and sisters, 10 children, 67 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren to mourn his departure, yet they feel assured that he has gone to rest. During his sickness his sweetest food was the word of God and singing. He longed for release from this mortal body that he might dwell in the home of the soul. May his virtues stand as a shining light for his posterity. Six of his children were present at the time of his death. He was a member of the Old Amish Mennonite Church and was buried on the 26th in J.J. Stutzman's family grave-yard. Services by D.S. Kauffman from John 5:19-30 and 2 Cor. 5:1-10.
