Obituary
Yoder, - Bro. David Z. Yoder, Sr., aged 76 y. 4 m. 16 d., passed to his eternal reward April 12,1932 at his home, Belleville, R.D.2. The cause of his death was organic heart disease. The deceased, son of the late Jonas and Katie (Zook) Yoder, was born in Big Valley, Nov. 26, 1855, and spent his entire life in Menno Twp. His death occurred on the farm on which he was born. As a young man he united with the Locust Grove A. M. Church, and continued in that faith until his death. In the community he was highly respected, always looked upon as a man of good judgment, practicing patience and a good attitude toward others. He will be missed in the home, in the Church, and in the community. He was an example of sincerity, honesty and sobriety. His place in the church services was seldom vacant. We are glad that he lived for the glory of the Creator and the relief of man's estate. He was united in marriage with Sallie, daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Staybrook, Feb. 9, 1851, in which union they lived for 45 years. They were blessed with 1 son and 3 daughters. His wife and 1 daughter predeceased him. The following survive: Levi K. Yoder, Mrs. Ezra Hostetler (with whom he made his home since the death of his wife), Mrs. D. H. Zook, 7 grandsons, 2 granddaughters, 3 brothers (Peter K., Rev. J. D. and Samuel Yoder). Two sisters and 1 brother preceded him in heath: Mrs. S. B. Smoker, Mrs. J. Y. Peachy, and Rufus C. Yoder. The funeral was held at the Locust Grove Church, conducted by Bro. J. L. Mast, Bros. E. D. Hess, and S. T. Yoder; also short services at the house. Texts, Matt 14: 23; II Cor. 5:1.
"Dear father, thou art not forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more;
Still in memory thou art with us,
As you always were before."
