Abner C., son of Bishop Abner and Veronica (Schrock) Yoder, was born near Sharon Center, Iowa, Oct. 28, 1866. He lived his entire life in the surrounding community in which he was born, with the exception of 8 years which he spent in South Dakota. He grew up on the farm, and after reaching manhood he began clerking in a store in Iowa City and continued in similar work-later going into business for himself and continuing as long as health permitted. He had been in failing health for a number of years and for the last 5 years he had made his home with Emery A. Brenneman and family, Mrs. Brenneman being a niece. About 6 weeks ago he was taken to the Forest Park Sanatorium in Davenport, Ia. Although his health failed for a long time, yet he suffered little and died without a struggle July 4, 1937, age 70 y. 8 m. 6 d. About 9 years ago he was baptized by the pastor of the Pleasant Hill Methodist Church. He was the youngest son of a family of 12 children, 9 of whom have preceded him in death. He leaves 1 sister (Mrs. Salome Bender of Wellman, Ia.), 1 brother (John A. of Iowa City), a host of nephews and nieces, besides other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held July 6 at the Lower Deer Creek Church by Joe L. Hershberger and John Y. Swartzendruber. Text, I Cor. 15:35,36. Gospel Herald.
