Yoder-Malinda, daughter of Jonas and Sarah (Yoder) Smucker (deceased), was born near Smithville, Ohio, May 18, 1865; died at her home at Oyster Point, Va., July 13, 1937. On Dec. 24, 1889, she was united in marriage to D. S. Yoder, who preceded her in death, April 29, 1936. Their home was blessed .with 4 sons and 2 daughters: Harvey E., Melvin J., Clemment P., and Mrs. Adam Smucker, all of Oyster Point, and John David and Ella Marie who preceded her in death. She leaves 4 children, 8 grandchildren, and 6 sisters: Addle and Ella of Oyster Point; Mrs. J. F. Mast of Portsmouth, Va.; Mrs. Emma Rohrer and Mrs. D. D. Miller of Smithville, O., and Mrs. David Steiner of North Lima, O. She also leaves 4 brothers: John W., Peter J. of Smithville, Simon C. of Orrville, Ohio, and D. M. of Fentress, Va.; also many relatives and friends. She had been in frail health for many years, but always bore her afflictions with Christian grace and fortitude. After one week of serious illness, she peacefully fell asleep. She united with the Amish Mennonite Church at Smithville, Ohio, in early youth and remained faithful and loyal to the end. Her kind, affectionate disposition endeared her to many friends and her family. The home has lost a loving mother and sister, and the Church a mother in Israel who had a deep concern for the welfare of the Church and her family. Funeral services were held July 15 at the Providence Church by the brethren, Orrie D. Yoder and Geo. Hostetler. Text, Prov. 14:32. Her body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.
"Silent thoughts bring many a tear,
For one we loved and cherished here;
God took her home, it was His will;
But in our hearts, she liveth still."
