As a young man he accepted Christ as his Saviour and was received into the Hesston Mennonite Church. He expressed his devotion to his Lord by remaining faithful to the Church unto the end. Feb. 8, 1912, he was united in marriage to Alma Hensley of Rockford, Nebr. They made their home near Hesston, in which community they lived until the time of his departure. God blessed their home with 2 children (Lyle E. of Elkhart, Ind., and Zella, Mrs. Sanford King, of Yoder, Kans.). Bro. Yost was always cheerful and aggressive, entering into the affairs of the community and Church with a great deal of interest and enthusiasm. Honesty was the principle which guided all his motives.

His father and 1 granddaughter preceded him in death. He leaves his faithful and devoted wife and family, 1 granddaughter, his mother, 3 brothers, 2 sisters, and a host of relatives and friends who await the resurrection morning for a reunion eternal. Services at home conducted by Bro. Ivan Lind, and at the Church by Bros. Milo Kauffman, M. 0. Yoder, and Fred Brenneman. Interment in the Pennsylvania Cemetery.
