      Yordy.- Carrie E. Good, 100, Eureka, Ill. Born: Jan. 2, 1893, Cornell, Ill., to Peter and Mary Naffziger Good. Died: Jan. 24, 1993, Eureka, Ill. Survivors-- children: Maurice J., Ethel Troyer, Alta Graber, Dorothy, Ruth Keller; sister: Elsie Birky; 16 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren. Predeceased by: Ezra Yordy (husband). Funeral and burial: Jan. 27, Roanoke Mennonite Church, by Rick Troyer and Elmer Wyse.
      Carrie attended Goshen College and belonged to Roanoke Mennonite Church, where her husband was bishop for many years. Orval and Mae Schrock attended Aunt Carrie's 100th birthday celebration only a few weeks before her death.

      A granddaughter, Mary Ann Watkins, wrote at the time of Carrie’s 100th birthday that she “was a kind and considerate mother to her six children. She was left to rear and guide them many times while her husband, Ezra, was ‘at church,’ ‘at a meeting,’ ‘away at conference,’ ‘preaching again,’ etc. Carrie prepared many a meal for ministers, friends, families, and strangers, and kept a spare bed ready at any call!”

      Forty or more friends and relatives stayed at the Yordy home when the Mennonite Church General Conference met at Eureka in 1925. A granddaughter also recalled that as a child a bus load of Goshen College students drove into the Yordy farmyard, filed into the dining room where they enjoyed a meal before giving a program at the Roanoke Mennonite Church.
