Husband was Samuel M. Bender
Her name is often spelled Saloma and she may have been called "Solmie."
=========
Saloma, daughter of Abner and Veronica (Schrock) Yoder, was born in Somerset Co., Pa., Jan. 28, 1858; passed away at the home of her daughter (Alice), July 19, 1948; aged 90 y. 5 m. 22 d. At the age of eight she moved with her father's family to Johnson Co., Iowa, where she lived the remainder of her life except for fifteen years spent in Wright Co., Iowa. In her youth she united with the Mennonite Church, and remained a member until death. On Nov. 30, 1884, she was united in marriage to Samuel M. Bender, who predeceased her in April, 1925. Eleven brothers and sisters also predeceased her. Surviving are 4 children (Alice - Mrs. Emery Brenneman, Irving, Lydia - Mrs. Loyal Swartzendruber, and Nettie Swartzendruber, all of Wellman, Iowa), 10 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. Three children (Fanny, Ella, and Alvin) preceded her in death. She and her husband knew by experience something of the pioneer methods of life in their labor together to rear their family, not neglecting their spiritual duties in the home and church. She was quiet, devoted, and consistent, and wished to attend church services as long as she could. Funeral services were held at the home by Amos Gingerich and at the West Union Church by J. Y. Swartzendruber and Paul T. Guengerich. Text: James 4:14.
