    • Obit:
      Yordy,-- Martha Yordy (nee Horsch), daughter of Henry and Catherine Horsch, was born in Pocahontas Co., Ia., Nov. 3, 1898, at which place she resided until the age of 7 years, when her parents moved to Cass Co., Mo. At the age of 14 years she saw the need of a Savior and became a member of the Mennonite Church. At the age of 17 years she with her parents removed to Fisher, Ill., where she took an active part in the work of the church as a Sunday school teacher. She was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Raymond Yordy of Flanagan, Ill., Nov. 19, 1919. To this union were born 2 sons (Merle and Jean). She died at the Mennonite Hospital, Bloomington, Ill., Nov. 27, 1924; aged 26 y. 24 d. She leaves her sorrowing husband, 2 sons, father, mother, 5 sisters, and 3 brothers (one brother having preceded her in death), an aged grandmother in Germany and many relatives and friends. Through her death the Church loses a faithful member. She was loved by all. Services were held at the home and church by the home ministers. Texts, I Thess. 4:13-18; II Cor. 5:1-4; I Sam. 20:3, latter clause. Burial in the Waldo Cemetery.
