    • Obit:
      Yoder.-Katherine Ann, wife of William Yoder and daughter of Christian and Elizabeth (Zehr) Heiser, was born in Morton Tp., near Allentown, on May 14, 1885, and died at her home in Goodfield, Ill., Jan. 23, 1934; aged 48 y. 8 m. 9 d. She leaves her loving husband, her aged father, and four brothers (Peter S. of Washington, Edward J. of Metamora, Simon A. of Eureka, and Benjamin A. of Goodfield). She was preceded to her eternal rest by her mother and one brother (Christian D.). She was united in marriage with William Yoder on Oct. 20, 1926, starting their happy home life in Goodfield where they have since resided. Early in life she accepted Christ as her Savior and united with the Mennonite Church which faith she continued until death. She was a devoted wife and true friend to all who knew her, always of a happy disposition scattering smiles and sunshine wherever she went. It was truly a privilege to be counted her friend and be associated with her, because she devoted her life for the betterment and happiness of those with whom she came in contact.
      "Some bright day again, we'll meet her,
      In that glory world so fair.
      Where all sorrow will be ended.
      No more sadness, no more care,
      Rest in peace."
      Funeral services were held Friday, Jan. 26, from the home and at the Baptist church on Goodfield. George L. Gundy of Meadows officiated, assisted by H. D. Walters of Deer Creek. Interment in Mt. Zion Cemetery north of Deer Creek.
      By a niece.
