restored he enlisted in the regular United States Army. There all trace of

him is lost.

CHAPTER XXVI

DAVID YODER(2), 1770-1864

David Yoder(2), third son of Conrad Yoder(1), was born April 3, 1770, and died July 14, 1864. He married Elizabeth Reep, born in 1771, and died October 31, 1846. Both were members of Grace Lutheran Church and are buried in Grace Church Cemetery. In 1963, their descendants replaced the eroding marble tombstones with a fine granite monument. Their ten children were Conrad, Adolphus, David, Solomon, Eli, Andrew, Betty, Sarah, Catherine, and Fanny.

In 1794, David Yoder(2) inherited from the estate of his father 130 acres of land lying on both sides of Jacob's Fork River. He soon entered some State land himself, adjoining his own tract, bought and sold several other tracts, and then built a log house on his land about where the old R.F.D. mail route, running from ear David Rameur's place, to near Colin M. Yoder's(5) place, crossed the branch coming down by the Rhoney School. He erected on this small stream mills for grinding corn and working flax, which were patronized by surrounding pioneer farmers.

About 1815, he sold his farm lands on Jacob's Fork River and boubht a 300 acre tract of land on Potts Creek, about two miles south of Grace Church. Here he settled down for the rest of his life, and followed his occupations of farmer, brick mason, and cabinet maker. He lived a long, useful, worthy life, dying at the age of 94.

David Yoder(2) and his family were first members of Grace Reformed Church until 1838, when they left the Reformed Congregation over the question of admitting slaves to the church services, and joined the Grace Lutheran Congregation. Most of David Yoder's(2) descendants from that time to the present have been Lutherans.

In March 1859, David Yoder(2) made his will, giving all his land--about 300 acres--to four of his children, Andrew, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Fanny, who were then living with him on his homestead. The will provided that the four of them were to furnish "decent support" to his disabled daughter, Caroline, who was "not able to take care of herself." The land was bound for her support during her natural lifetime. In addition, the four were to pay $100 each, for a total sum of $400, distributed as follows: $200 to the children of his son Solomon Yoder(3); @150 to his son David Yoder(3); $25 to his son Adolphus Yoder(3): $25 to his son Conrad Yoder(3); all the balance of the personal property to his three daughters, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Fanny; and two notes on his son Eli, amounting to $275.32, due in 1837, to his son Eli.

Children

1. Conrad Yoder(3) was in the War of 1812 and served under the command of General Andrew Jackson. Some years later, following the War, he went to Indiana, to his Uncle Jacob Yoder(2), and married one of his daughters, Polly Yoder(3). He raised a family in that state and in later years moved to Andrews County, Missouri, where he died and is buried. (See Chapter _____)

2. Adolphus Yoder(3), also served in the War of 1812 with his brother, Conrad. At the close of the War he enlisted in the United States Army as a regular. There is no record of his ever returning to the community in which he grew up. (See Chapter _____)

3. David Yoder(3) married Ruth Wilson. See Chapter XXVII.

4. Solomon Yoder(3) married Sallie Seagle. See Chapter XXVIII.

5. Eli Yoder(3) married a Miss Detter and moved to Tennessee, where he lived and died. (SEE CHAPTER _____)

6. Andrew Yoder(3) married Anna Kistler. See Chapter XXXV.

7. Betty, Sarah, Catherine (Polly), and Fanny never married. They lived till death on the old homestead with their brother Andrew. They are buried in Grace Church Cemetery.

purchase of land in November 1820. Strangely enough, he is not listed in

census records for 1820, '30 or '40, nor in tax lists for the state of Arkansas

1819-1829"-per Nancy Griffith, Lyon College Library, Batesville, AR.)

(" ...the only thing new I have to add is that I found "Dolphin" Yoder in

the 1830 census for Washington County MO. I am sure it is the same

as Adolphus because he was in Washington County MO in 1840 and 1860,

and Julia was there in 1850. The listing for Dolphin Yoder lists a male and

a female of the right age, which is consistent with what we know, since

their oldest child was not born until 1830 or later... There is also a Yoder

listed in Washington County MO Marriages 1815-1844, Reel C6834

Recorder of Deeds, Title Maqrriages, Vol. A, 1815-1844-Y. I think this

must be Adolphus and Julia. His second marriage didn't take place

until 1849. However, I have not yet had the opportunity to order the

microfilm, and the index only lists surnames." Tilitha Waicekauskas

bigwrnch@fidnet.com- Nov. 2000)(suddenly information about Adolphus

Yoder is just falling all around me! I put a query on the Washington Co.

MO message board, which was promptly answered by William Baker, who

put me in touch with Preston Gilliam, a descendant of Adolphus Yoder's

third wife by her first husband. He had a lot of information and pictures

of the cabin Adolphus Yoder built in Yoder Holler. He said it is still being

lived in by one of Sarah Gilliam Yoder's descendants, and still does not

have plumbing or electricity. Adolphus must have done a good job, because

the cabin still looks very sturdy. Preston says that Sarah and her husband

lived on an adjoining farm to Adolphus, and that a couple of years after her

husband died, Sarah had a baby, and the parentage has never been disclosed,

although they feel sure it was Adolphus Yoder's baby. He married her a

year or two after that and they combined their farms and built the cabin.

Adolphus was a miner as well as a farmer. That makes sense because they

lived in the lead belt. I believe there is, or was, iron in that area also.

Tilitha Waicekauskas-- bigwrnch@fidnet.com- Nov. 2000)

Sarah is shown in 1883 drawing a War of 1812 widow’s pension of $8 starting Feb. 1879, at that thime she was a resident of Palmer)

( It says he was a widower when he married Sarah Gilliam, but of course, now we

know that he had been married to Nancy Jane Goard in 1849 while Julia was

still living when the 1850 census was taken. He divorced Nancy and then

later married Sarah Gilliam. This was a bit of a shock to me as it is the

first divorce I had run across in my search. I'd really like to know what

happened to Julia. I am sure she was Native American but haven't proven it

yet. You see, my grandmother Emily Yoder always said that her father was

half Indian.---Tilitha) (Preston Gilliam says that his ancestress was k

nown as "Granny Yoder" in her later years) (PHOTO of Sarah)

guess we are home free on that one! I was afraid we were not going to win this one. Thanks for being so patient with an old man--------and Merlin Welker IS much older than I thought. If he was born in 1908, then he is looking at 93 this year! And lived in that cabin all his life. No wonder he is protective of it.

Tilitha, I'm using this old message to reply to due to the context. I met with Mr. Welker again today. He has no problem with us using the picture, so go ahead and use it. Remember Merlin Welker is the G. Grandson of Sarah (Gilliam) Yoder. The cabin was built by Adolphus Yoder in 1865. Sarah married Adolphus in 1855. Her first husband William Gilliam (my G.G. Grandfather) died in 1849. Merlin was born in this home (1908) and has lived there ever since. The home is located in Yoder Holler, near Palmer, MO.

Do you also have a copy of the picture of Sarah Yoder?

Ellen May Pounds, born June 26, 1906, died 1998 CA, married first Willie Dennis, one son, married second Ben Patterson, no other children.

James Turner Pounds, born June 13, 1909, died 1963 CA, married Alice Patterson, at least 8 children,

Harvey Franklin Noah Munro Pounds, born April 6, 1916, died 1987 AR, married first Reba Dennis, married second Hazel Garrett, at least 5 children, all by second wife.

Twin girls born Aug 18, 1919. Maggie died same day. Agnes lived 14 days.

Family legend says that Alexander Pounds, husband of Emily Yoder, was born Jan 1, 1864. However, the 1880 census lists him as 6 yr. old, so he could not have been born until 1874. This is a little sticky in the family as he supposedly lived 100 yr. and died in June 1964. We have a tombstone that says 1864-1964, and newspaper clippings of his hundredth birthday, when he took his first airplane ride! Pat and I know the truth, but the rest of the family clings to that hundred years!—Tilitha

Mrs. Emily Kitory Evelyn (Yoder) Pounds born April 17, 1874 in Iron County, MO. She married Alexander (Alex) Pounds in Steelville (this information I think is already on the Yoder site)

She was a housewife. Now here is where it gets interesting.

Her father' name was Marquis Lafayette Yhoder (as spelled on death certificate) His town or city of birth was unknown but the state is listed as Pennsylvannia USA. ) Emily died Feb 10, 1925 in Butler County, MO near Neelyville. She died of Lobar pneumonia with a contributing diagnosis of Influenza. She was buried in Simms Cemetery, Neelyville on Feb 12, 1925.

Emily's mother was listed as Persylia Caroline Murry born in Bellview Iron County, MO.

The informant on the certificate is listed as Mrs. Ellen Heath (Emily's sister Sarah Ellen

CHAPTER XXVII

DAVID YODER(3), 1799-1897

David Yoder(3) was born in 1799 and died in 1897 at the age of 98. He married Ruth Wilson in January 16, 1827 (Lincoln County marriage bond). He and his wife were members of Old Thessalonica Baptist Church and are buried in the cemetery of that old church site. Their graves are unmarked and no longer identifiable. Their children were Frank and Elisha (both dying in childhood), Ruth, Labba (Letitia) and Juliann.

Ruth Wilson Yoder, wife of David Yoder(3), inherited land from her father's estate on Potts Creek, and later she and her husband bought the shares of other embers of the Wilson family, who had moved to the state of Tennessee. David Yoder(3) was a farmer and a cooper. He lived quietly with his family, somewhat remote from the main highways, and "off the beaten tracks." The fine oak woodland on his farm supplied him with the timber for the staves used in his cooperage shop.

The two log houses and the barn which David Yoder(3) built in the early 1820's were still standing in 1968.

The two houses, one a combined kitchen and dining room, and the other the main house, were to separate buildings, a few feet apart (picture p. 124). These log houses and the barn are some of the last surviving buildings of the early Yoders in North Carolina. Only the old Michael Yoder(3) log house, converted into a garae in the 1920.s and since entirely abandoned, is older than the David Yoder(3) buildings.

Two of David Yoder's(3) unmarried daughters lived on the old homestead and in the two log houses until their deaths in the 1920's.

Children, Grandchildren, Great-grandchildren

1. Ruth Yoder(4) died in the middle 1920's and is buried in Old Thessalonica Cemetery. She never married.

2. Labba (Letitia) Yoder(4) married Laban Hoover. They had one child, Leo N. Hoover(5), who married Rachel Leatherman. Their children were Asa, Perry, Lillie, and Mary. Leo N. Hoover(5) always called him "the best shoe maker in the whole country." The author, as a small boy, with his older sisters, was taken annually, in the early fall, to Leo Hoover's home and shoe shop, where careful foot measurements were taken and shoes tailor-made to order. The author many times took shoes to Hoover's shop for repair. Strange it seems now, that at that time he never knew his own Yoder family was related by kin to Leo N. Hoover(5) and his family.

Willie Asa Hoover(6) was born March10, 1878, and died July 28, 1967. He married Anna Elizabeth Yount, who was born August 11,

1874 (1882 per obituary and tombstone ), and died August 5, 1941. They are both buried in the High Peak Baptist Church Cemetery in Burke County. Their children were Gwyn W. Hoover(7), born October 11, 1903, married Ruby Bolen, who died January 13, 1957; Lyda Blanche Hoover(7), born May 23, 1905, married Cornelius de Vries; Edna A. Hoover(7), born August 6, 1908, married Harry Lee Yoder; Hazel Leona Hoover(7), Born August 30, 1910, married Robert H. (middle name Horace per mother’s obit) Hoke, who died April 7, 1957: Walter (Walton per mother’s obituary) A. Hoover(7), born October 12, 1914, married Edna Lee; Catherine Isabell Hoover(7), born August 20, 1916, married Kelly Page; Eva Louise Hoover(7), born June 1918, married Ray McRarie; George Napoleon Hoover(7), born June, 1920, first married Emma Dean Suggs, and as second wife, Mamie Brackett; Antha Elizabeth Hoover(7), born October 11, 1923, married Francis H. Smith; and Hallard E. Hoover(7), born March 26, 1925, and married Tressie May.

Perry Andrew Hoover(6) was born in 1879 and died in 1964. He first married Anna Blanche Cline, and after her death January 6, 1912, Ada Propst. Their children were Luther Lee Hoover(7), who married Annie Jones; Bonnie Mae Hoover(7), who married Ray Poovey; Ben Hoover(7); Martha Hoover(7), who married Wesley Whisnant; Phillip Hoover(7), who married Jewel Martin: and Laura Hoover(7), who married Muriel Flowers.

Hello, I still can't find any Yoder connections to husband Jimmy or me, but---three of my grandchildren are descendants. Attached

is a report showing the line as I have it now. Christy Jeanette Perry married my son Eric Calvin Sigmon. [Christy was adopted

by her mother's second husband. That is why she uses the surname Perry.]

I'm doing a book on the ancestors of my grandchildren one of these days, so any additional information you can send me will be

appreciated.

Notes for Labon Hoover:

Adopted from story #333 in Catawba County Heritage, by Pauline Cline.

Tradition says the Hoover (Heuber) family were wealthy wine merchants from Strasbury, Germany, Alsace and Lorraine, now France. They raised grapes along the Rhine River. Two Heuber brothers were the first to come to America, and they settled in Maryland. They soon became disenchanted with part of the country and looked elsewhere for good fertile land; some going to Illinois. Forays were made to the south looking for a good place to live.

Laban Hoover was one of the Hoover brothers to come south. On one of these trips, he met Letitia "Labba" Yoder, daughter of David Yoder (1799-1899), direct descendant of Conrad Yoder, the Swiss-born Catawba County pioneer who settled here in 1755, and Ruth Wilson. Ruth Wilson inherited land from her father, Nathaniel (Tom) Wilson estate, and they bought the shares of land from the other Wilsons who moved to the state of Tennessee.

Laban Hoover returned north to report to his superiors and to make preparations for his family. He was caught up in the activities and turmoil that led to the Civil War. Lititia died in the meantime.

Son Leo Hoover grew up in his grandfather Yoder's home, with Aunt Betty and Julie as foster parents.

Child of Letitia Yoder and Labon Hoover is:

+ 7 i. Leo Napoleon⁵ Hoover, born May 18, 1854; died January 31, 1897.

Generation No. 3

7. Leo Napoleon⁵ Hoover (Letitia "Labba"⁴ Yoder, David³, David², Conrad¹) was born May 18, 1854, and died January 31, 1897. He married Rachel Isabelle Leatherman January 25, 1877 in Catawba County NC, daughter of Jonas Leatherman and Elizabeth Temple. She was born November 04, 1854, and died February 25, 1925.

Notes for Leo Napoleon Hoover:

Leo was buried in Old Thessalonica Baptist Church Cemetery. {cem vol 8 pg 98}

1880 census: Catawba County NC, Jacob's Fork Twsp, 231/244, shoemaker, Levin (age 25), Isabell (age 22), Asa (age 2, son), Pollie (age 6/12, son, born Dec.).

Leo was a skilled shoemaker. The author's father, Colin M. Yoder, always called him "the best shoemaker in the whole country." The author, as a small boy, with his olders sisters, was taken annually, in the early fall, to Leo Hoover's home and shoe shop, where careful foot measurements were taken and shoes tailor-made to order. The author may times took shoes to Hoover's shop for repair. {HYF page 125}

Adopted from Catawba County Heritage #333.

Leo married Rachel Isabelle Leatherman (1854-1925), daughter of Jonas and Elizabeth Temple Leatherman. Elizabeth was from South Carolina and Jonas met her on one of his trips as a wagoner.

Leo bought land adjacent to the land of his grandfather Davey Yoder on the lower road to Shelby. This is now a fifth generation Hoover-Yoder farm. Here about one mile from his grandfather, on what was then called the "Muddy" Road, Leo built a five room house for his family and out from the house, he built of the finest lumber, a shoe makers shop. He was in the business of making shoes to order and even a few ladies coats and suits. He had patterns for 'my lady' all the way from Paris, France. Drummers (salesmen) called on him for orders of leather, wool material, and the J. P. Coats Thread Company supplied the shop with a thread cabinet made of the finest cherry wood. This family also farmed. Leo continued to prosper and the neighbors said he was receiving financial aid from his father, Laban Hoover.

When Leo N. Hoover died 31 January 1897, his oldest son, Asa, was a student at Ridgeway Baptist Academy in the Banaok, Vale Section. With Leo's death, the shoemaker's shop was closed forever. "Belle" and her children continued farming. Leo's four children were half-orphans, just like he had been.

The Leatherman's are known for their musical ability, so Belle and her four children formed a string band with Asa on the violin or fiddle; Perry on the banjo, Lillie on the mandolin and Mary Glenn on the guitar. Belle went along to keep time and chaperone.

Notes for Luther Lee Hoover:

Excerpts from Catawba County Heritage #333 by Pauline Cline.

"Lee Hoover was born 1908 and graduated from Blackburn High School and studied animal husbandry at Raleigh, N.C. He worked at Haynes Dairy in Lincoln county where he met and married Annie Jones. Lee and Annie celebrated their Golden Wedding anniverasary in 1984 at Grace Lutheran Church, where Lee was buried in 1985. He studied air-conditioning at St. Louis and Johnsonville, Penna. In the mid-60's he received an award from NASA for inventing the 'maneuver gun' that guided astronaut Edward White in the first space walk in June 1965. This was his life's work. Their children are Conley, James, Charles, John, Ann Margaret, Judy, and Doris."

From Catawba County Heritage #334.

Luther Lee Hoover, "the man who kept the astronauts cool," died August 30, 1985 at Lincolnton Nursing Center of Parkinson's disease. He was 76. Mr. Hoover, of Newton, was a retired NASA employee. While working for NASA, Mr. Hoover built cooling units into the astronauts' space suits and refrigeration systems in space capsules.

In the mid-1960s he received an award from NASA for inventing the "maneuver gun" that guided astronaut Edward White in the first spacewalk in June 1965. "He did have a very interesting job," said Annie, his wife of 51 years. "He was at each lift-off at Cape Canaveral." While in his early 60s, despite a broken back, he trained with the astronauts in centrifuges and gravity chambers. He worked closely with the original seven astronauts and with John Glenn and the Friendship 7 spacecraft. "It was like a little family," Mrs. Hoover said. "He just loved that (space) program."

A Catawba County native, Mr. Hoover graduated from Blackburn High School and studied air-conditioning in St. Louis and Johnsonville, Pa.

Survivors, in addition to his wife, are sons, Conley Hoover of Pasadena, Tex., James Hoover of Newport News, Va., Charles Hoover of Houston, John Hoover of Glendale, Ariz.; daughters, Mrs. Margaret Levi of Priest River, Idaho, Mrs. Doris Smoker of Yorktown, Va., Mrs. Judy Cadwell of San Jose, Calif.; brothers, Ben Hoover of Wichita Falls, Tex., Phillip Hoover; sisters, Mrs. Laura Flowers of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Martha Whisnant.

Notes for William Jefferson Perry:

William apparently was killed in a fire which gutted a house where he was living.

The Greenville News, Monday, December 27, 1999, " Two men were killed in a fire late Christmas Day that shot flames 50 feet into the air and destroyed a home in an isolated area near Travelers Rest, authorities said.

The Greenville County Coroner's Office on Sunday tentatively identified the victims as Billy Ray Reeves, 42, and William Jeffers Perry, 47.

Both men lived at that house, Perry for only about a month, said Deputy Coroner Mike Ellis.

The home, at 701 Bailey Mill Road, was fully engulfed in flames by the time volunteer firefighters from the Tigerville Fire Department arrived.

Authorities said they received a call reporting the fire at about 8 p.m. Firefighters found the first body at 10:45 p.m. and the second body at 12:30 p.m., Ellis said.

He estimated the time of their deaths at 8 p.m. Autopsies will be done on both bodies today.

The fire is under investigation by the Greenville County Sheriff's Office homicide division, although Lt. Bruce Cannon said there's no reason at this point to think the cause of the fire is suspicious. He said it's routine for the department to investigate fires when people are killed.

Chief Rick Tucker of the Tigerville Fire Department said the closest neighbors lived about a quarter-mile away. Neighbors told firefighters they thought the men were inside because both of their trucks were at the house.

Rucker (sic) said this is the first fatal fire his department has handled in six years." http://www.greenvilleonline.com/gonews/news/5122799.htm

DAVID YODER of NORTH CAROLINA

------------------------------Contributed by Michael Billy Huffman

---------------------David Yoder (1799-1896)

-------David Yoder, son of David and Elizabeth Reep Yoder, was a

grandson of the North Carolina pioneer Conrad Yoder. He was born

Sept. 22, 1799, one of 10 children. He married the former Ruth

Wilson, (Feb.26,1794-Aug.14,1871) daughter of Nathaniel and

Margaret Wilson. To this marriage were born five children: Elisha

(1827-1858); Franklin (1830-1840); Ruth Elizabeth (Betty) (1832-

1921); Letitia (1835-1860); and Julian (Julie) Ann (1838-1926).

-------David died Sep.5, 1896. He, his wife and all five children are

buried at the Old Thessalonica Baptist Church Cemetery in the

Blackburn Section. The church no longer stands, but the cemetery

remains.

-------Ruth Wilson Yoder inherited land from her father's estate on

Potts Creek, and later she and her husband bought the shares of other

members of the Wilson family, who had moved to Tennessee. David

Yoder was a farmer and a cooper. He lived quietly with his family,

somewhat remote from the main highways, and "off the beaten

tracts". The fine oak woodland on his farm supplied him with the

timber for staves used in his cooperage shop.

-------The Yoder log homes, built by David himself were built in the

early 1820s. There were two separate buildings, one known as the

main house and sleeping quarters and the other was the kitchen.

-------Two of his daughters lived at the homestead until their deaths

in the 1920s. Ruth Elizabeth (Aunt Betty) and Julian Ann (Aunt

Julie) both lost their sweethearts in the Civil War, so they never

married.

CHAPTER XXVIII

SOLOMON YODER(3), 1805-1854

Solomon Yoder(3), son of David Yoder(2), was born May 17, 1805, and died October 12, 1854. He married Sarah Seagle, September 25, 1832, who died December 4, 1874. Both were members of Daniels Lutheran Church and are buried in Daniels Church Cemetery. Their children were Alfred, Daniel and Mary (twins), Emeline, Eliza, Sarah, John, David, Adolphus, Laban, William, and Robert. See picture p. 127.

Solomon Yoder(3) was a farmer and carpenter. His son Daniel A. Yoder(4) in his autobiography" (p. 129) refers to his father as "helping to build a new courthouse in Lincolnton."

David Yoder(2) left by his will to the children of Solomon Yoder(3), $200 in cash. In 1823, the children of Solomon Yoder(3) sold to their brother, William Yoder(4), their shares of the 128 acres of land they had inherited from their father, for $909.

Children

1. Alfred Yoder(4) was born May 9, 1833, and was killed in the Civil War at the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi, October 3, 1862. He is buried in the Daniels Church cemetery in Lincoln County, NC.

2. Daniel Yoder(4). See Chapter XXIX.

3. Mary Yoder(4), twin sister of Daniel A., was born October 5, 1834, and died September 26, 1931. She was a member of Daniels Lutheran Church and is buried in Daniels Church Cemetery. She never married.

There is a Lincoln County Marriage Bond for Mary A. Yoder, age 49 and Noah Dellinger, age 69, dated September 30, 1883. Her parents are given as Solomon and Sarah Yoder.

The photograph on page 127 shows Mary Dellinger as a surviving child of Solomon Yoder. Also, there is the following inscription in the Daniel’s Cemetery:

Dellinger, Mary A. Yoder October 5, 1834 September 27, 1931 w/o Noah

4. Emeline Yoder(4) was born September 29, 1836, and died July 26, 1927. She was a member of Daniels Lutheran Church and is buried in Daniels Church Cemetery. She never married.

5. Eliza Yoder(4) was born June 30, 1838, and died February 24, 1907. She first married Dan Heavner and later, Michael Petrie.

Here is what I have on Petrie Connections:

Petrie/Jonas Connections

From Sherrill’s Annals of Lincoln County, Charles A. Jonas married Rosa Petrie, daughter of R. Michael and Eliza Yoder Petrie . Robert Michael Petrie and his wife are buried in Daniels Cemetery. His dates are June 15, 1838 – Dec 15, 1915. Eliza C. Petrie’s dates are June 30, 1838 – Feb 24, 1907.

Both Charles Andrew and his son, Charles Raper Jonas, were members of the US House of Representatives. See the website http://politicalgraveyard.com/bio/. Charles A. Jonas was born August 14, 1876 near Lincolnton. He was 9^th District Representative (Republican) from 1929-1931. He died May 25, 1955, and is buried in Hollybrook Cemetery, Lincolnton. Hollybrook Cemetery records show that his wife, Rosa Petrie Jonas, was born 19 May 1879, and died 4 Apr 1962. Two children who died in infancy are buried with them, Michael Cephas Jonas, 4 Aug 1908 – 29 May 1909, and Samuel Luke Jonas, 18 Jan 1911 – 27 Sept 1911. According to Sherrill, other children were Celeste Jonas, who married L. T. Gibson of Gibson, NC, Charles Raper Jonas, who married Annie Elliott of Lincolnton, and Donald Jonas who married Annie Willis. The Ramsour genealogy at the Catawba County USGenWeb site gives the following additional information. Charles Andrew Jonas married Rosa Petrie in Aug 1902. Celeste Jonas married Laurence T. Gibson. Donald Jonas was born 5 Dec 1906, and died in 1985.

Charles Raper Jonas was born near Lincolnton Dec 9, 1904. He was US Representative (Republican) from the 10^th District from 1953-1963, 8^th District from 1963-1969, and 9^th District, 1969-1973. He died in 1988. The above website says his burial location is unknown. However, there is a tombstone in Hollybrook Cemetery, but with just the date of birth. The monument for his wife, Annie Elliott Jonas, has the dates, 28 Apr 1905 – 2 Dec 1987. There are monuments for three children, Charles R. Jonas, Jr., 20 Feb 1941 – 4 June 1981, Elliott Lee Jonas, 4 Apr 1951 (only date), and Andrew Kerr Jonas, 23 Aug 1946 – 26 Aug 1946.

Dr. R. W. Petrie was the son of R. Michael and Eliza Yoder Petrie. He married (1) Eva Wilkey, and (2) Annie Rhyne in 1936. He was born near Reepsville May 5, 1876. He died in Murphy, NC, Nov 17, 1936. R. W. Petrie is buried at Hollybrook Cemetery. Eva Wilkie Petrie is also buried there. Her dates are 5 Sept 1883 – 14 Nov 1918. his second wife is also buried there, Annie Gertrude Rhyne Petrie, 9 Sept 1892 – 26 Sept 1984. Robert William Petrie, Jr. was born 17 Oct 1916, and died 28 July 1985. He is also buried at Hollybrook. There is also a monument for Betty Tripplet Petrie (wife of R. W. Petrie, Jr). Her dates are 20 Jan 1921 – 4 Apr 1999.

Michael Petrie is in the 1870 Catawba County Census. He is listed as a farmer, age 33, born in NC. Three children are with him, Eliza, age 8, Martha, age 6, and James, age 3. Michael’s wife, Eliza Yoder Petrie, was apparently not home when the census was taken unless she is the Eliza listed as age 8 with the age being wrong. However, there is an Elizabth in 1880 whose age corresponds closely to this Eliza.

In 1880, the family is in Lincoln County in the Howards Creek district. Michel Petre, age 42, farmer, Eliza C. Petre, age 42, housekeeping, M. Elizabeth Petre, age 17, Martha A. E. Petre, age 15, James Leroy Petre, age 12, Sarah Alice Petre, age 5, Robert W. Petre, age 4, Minnie Jane Petre, age 2, and Rosietta Petre, age 1, all born NC.

James Leroy Petrie is buried at Daniels beside his parents . In the W. D. Floyd cemetery list transcription, Petrie is mispelled as Perry, and his [parents are given as PH and S. He was born 7 June 1867, and died 13 Sept 1880.

From the Rhyne book, the following descendants of Martha Petrie Workman are listed. Martha Petrie Workman was the daughter of Daniel Workman and Martha Ann Petrie. Martha Ann Petrie was the daughter of Michael Petrie and Eliza Yoder. Martha Ann E. Petrie and her husband are buried at Daniels. She was born 15 Apr 1865 and died 7 Oct 1945. Daniel W.

CHAPTER XXIX

DANIEL A. YODER(4), 1834-1927

Daniel A. Yoder(4) was born October 5, 1834, and died January 6, 1927. He first married Anna Ellen Fulbright October 29, 1865, who was born in 1836 and died in 1874. Their children were Laura Minta, Alfred M., and Charles M. Daniel A. Yoder (4) married as his second wife Mary Jane McCaslin February 26, 1876, who was born ~~in 1839~~ March 27, 1835 (per cemetery transcription) and died in February 7, 1927. Their children were Robert Emmett and Mary Kate. Daniel A. Yoder(4) and his second wife were first members of Grace Lutheran Church, but in later life members of Daniels Lutheran Church. Both are buried in Daniels Church Cemetery.

Daniel A. Yoder was a farmer. He was a devout Lutheran, and lived a truly Christian Life. He was a kindly man and loved by all who knew him. For many years he taught a Sunday School class at Grace Church. In controversial discussions he was always calm and restrained. He was a Civil War veteran.

Toward the end of his life he wrote a brief autobiographical sketch of his life for The Lincoln County News. His own short life story reveals so well the conditions under which most Yoders in North Carolina lived between 1840 and 1890, that the author has asked permission of his granddaughter, Margretta Seagle(6), to reproduce it in this History as a major part of his life sketch (UPDATE EDITION NOTE: Margretta, lived to be 97 years of age and died on December 19, 2001).

TIME

An Autobiography

(By D. A. Yoder, Sr.)

The link between the restless present and the more quiet times of my boyhood days is fast lengthening out. Though eighty-eight years old I still like to mingle with the wonderful things of life; but am moderate in enjoying them. The shades of evening cannot be ver distant from me. It is said that "advanced years bring increased leisure, and time employed is life enjoyed," which is true only in good health. While I am feeling well I will write this sketch, beginning with my school boy days. I was a small boy when I first went to school with my oldest brother and my twin sister. I remember the little log school house with 3 small windows, a rock chimney and a wide fireplace. There was no blackboard on the wall, and our seats were pegleg slab benches.

This was before the free school system of N.C. was established, it was a community school, the teacher being employed and paid by the patrons. There was no system, no district, no committee, and teachers were not examined, though any one who could write a legible hand and make goosequill pens for the pupils, was considered qualified to teach. Just look back for a moment to see the contrast between the present and the past. When I was a boy Lincoln extended from the Catawba River north of Hickory, to the S.C. line near Kings Mtn.; when the towns of Newton, Hickory, Dallas, and Gastonia, did not exist; and Lincolnton was a little old town in which cattle roamed at will on the streets and hogs rooted and wallowed in mudholes on the Court Square.

I was born in Lincoln County and lived in it the greater part of my life, though I remember we once lived in Catawba a few years, then back in Lincoln again yet never moved from the old home place.

When I was a boy perhaps in my teens, I witnessed the hanging of Langford in Lincolnton for the murder of his wife, the allows was erected near the river west end of town. I don't remember dates, only events which made impressions on my mind that time has never erased.

I remember that my father was at work that day on the Court House recently pulled down.

I first saw Charlotte when I was between 20 and 25 years old, traveled with team on plank road from Lincolnton, carried flour packed in barrels which I made myself. There was no railroad to Charlotte then and very few in the state. Travel was by stagecoach and horse back, and mails were carried in the same way. The Tennessee farmers drove their pork hogs across the mountains by way of Ashville on through Lincolnton to Charlotte selling them on the way as they traveled.

My father died at the age of 49 years, I being 20 and second oldest of twelve children. I remained with mother and family until I was twenty-five years old. Then I desired to see more of the world. My first adventure was on horseback, a trip across the Blue Ridge Mountains to visit an uncle in East Tennessee. The next trip from home was an overland trip to Texas in Company with Col George Hedick, L.A. Hoyle of Lincoln and Jacob Rhyne of Gaston County, who emigrated to Texas with their families in 1859. We traveled with wagons and teams and were two months on the way.

I floated around Texas two years, seeking a fortune but failed to find it. I was in Texas when the first shot was fired on Fort Sumter opening the war between the states in which I took an active part in the Confederate Army and realized the hardships and horrors of war. I was a member of Co. A 10th Texas and fought under command of Gen. Bragg in Kentucky and Gen. Jo. Johnson in Tennessee and Georgia in the army of Tennessee.

When the war ended I was thirty years old and penniless and ver much discouraged. Then I turned a new leaf in life. I married and sent to work in real earnest to obtain a living by farming, though I never had a strong ambition for hard work just for the fun of the money, but necessity urged me and it was a case of "root hog or die."

When I was twenty one years old began to work for myself, I was with the class that mowed the wild grass meadow along Potts Creek with the old time Dutch Sythe for 50¢ per day, and cradled wheat for $1.00 per day in the longest and hottest days in June when days were more than eight hours long.

Thanks to the man who invented the mower, the reaper and binder.

I have lived to see some of the wonderful inventions and discoveries which have transformed the earth--the telegraph, the telephone, the wireless, the aeroplane and the automobile.

The world has rushed on with giant strides. It seems that I have lived several centuries in one. Providence has been kind to me, I have enjoyed fairly good health all my life. I have tried to take the world easy in its mad rush to obtain the things that perish. I still look straight to the front and try to keep step to the music to the time, let it be

"Yankee Doodle" or "Dixie."

CHAPTER XXX

DAVID YODER(4), 1844-1911

David Yoder(4) was born July 28, 1844, and died April 2 (April 22, per Daniels Cemetery transcription), 1911. He married as his first wife Mary Caroline Hoke, February 18, 1869, who was born August 17, 1845 and died December 30, 1884.

David Yoder(4) and his wives were members of Daniels Lutheran Church and are buried in Daniels Church Cemetery.

David Yoder(4) was a farmer. He was an ardent Lutheran and strongly loyal to his church and pastors. In December, 1905 or 1906, when the author was visiting his grandfather, Col. George M. Yoder(4) one Sunday afternoon, David Yoder(4) appeared with Francis A. Yoder(5) at the author's grandfather's home, to enlist his aid in retaining the pastor of Daniels and grace Lutheran Churches. The pastor was being pressured by a faction in the Daniels Church to resign his pastorship, because they did not like his preaching and thought he was no longer equal to the tasks of ministering to the congregations. Davie(4) was much stirred up by what he thought was cruel and unfair treatment of the pastor. With great emotion, broken voice, and tears in his eyes, he pleaded with Col. George M. Yoder(4) of the Grace Congregation to use all his influence among the members of the Grace Congregation to retain the Pastor. The Pastor, however soon resigned.

CHAPTER XXXIV

REV. ROBERT ANDERSON YODER(4), 1853-1911

Rev. Robert Anderson Yoder(4), was the most distinguished of the North Carolina Yoders. He was born August 17, 1853 and died May 16, 1911. He married Rosa E. Fisher May 9, 1878. Both are buried in Daniels Church Cemetery. Their children were Mary Pearl, Lela, Maud, Blanche, Margareta, Robert Able, and Paul. Rev. Yoder was a minister, teacher, college President, founder to two colleges, church leader, county superintendent of schools, leading citizen, and beloved friend of everybody who knew him.

The author has many fond recollections of Rev. Yoder. As pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, to which the Author's parents and he belonged, Rev. Yoder frequently visited in our home, took meals, and spent the night. The author remembers the personal interest Rev. Yoder took in each of his brothers and sisters, most of whom he had baptized. Rev. Yoder was an unusually good-humored man, related many interesting and funny anecdotes, always with a hearty laugh. The author never heard anyone ever say a disparaging word about Rev. Yoder or criticize him for any of his actions.

For many years, while he was President of Lenoir College, which he had the lead in founding, he preached in four Lutheran Country Churches--Daniels, Salem, Grace, and Sardis--driving each Sunday by horse and buggy ten to fifteen miles to reach these churches, a round trip of 20 to 30 miles. When he finally resigned the pastorate of all of these churches and the Presidency of Lenoir College, the author remembers that the members of all four of the congregations could scarcely believe that they could get along without him as their pastor and as President of the college. Rarely has a pastor been so dearly beloved by all the members of his congregations.

It was Rev. Yoder who first suggested that the Old Yoder Cemetery be cleaned off, fenced and a monument be erected to the memory of Conrad Yoder(1). As the author recollects, it was in the late 1890's, while his family and Rev. Yoder were driving by the Cemetery one Sunday morning, that Rev. Yoder made the suggestion to the author's father and mother. The author, then a small boy, always remembered the suggestion. IT was not until 1958, however, that Rev. Yoder's suggestion was finally carried out by the descendants of Conrad Yoder(1). Also as a young man just out of college, the author was encouraged by Rev. Yoder to write this History of the Yoder Family in

North Carolina. Again the author remembers that when Rev. Yoder, in 1910, was chairman of the Lenoir College Board of Trustees and a petition had been presented to the Board, signed by many students (but not by the author), that a certain professor be "fired," Rev. Yoder hunted up the author, then a student at the college, in his dormitory room, and asked him about the professor, his competency as a teacher in his field, and his attitudes toward students. The professor was not "fired," but continued to teach in the college for several more years, when he resigned of his own accord.

The author is greatly indebted to Rev. Dr. John Hall, son-in-law of Rev. Yoder, for the following sketch of Rev. Yoder.

ROBERT ANDERSON YODER, D.D.

By Rev. Dr. John Hall

Robert Anderson Yoder, son of Solomon and Sarah (Seagle) Yoder, was born in Lincoln County, North Carolina, August 16, 1854. He was baptized in infancy by the Rev. P.C. Henkel in Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church. He was confirmed in Daniel's Evangelical Lutheran Church by the Reverend A. J. Fox, in 1869. He was the youngest of twelve children. His first school used the German language exclusively buy he acquired a good knowledge of English early in life. At the age of eighteen he entered an academy at Hickory Tavern, North Carolina, taught by Mr. George Hahn and the Rev. M.L. Little. He became at this time the first beneficiary student of the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod. In recommending that he receive aid the president of the synod, the Rev. A. J. Fox says: "Mr. Robert A. Yoder from my own pastoral charge, whom I have known personally from his early childhood, made application for beneficiary aid from us, in prosecuting a course of studies, preparatory to entering the Christian ministry. This young man expressed a willingness to submit to all the requirements of our regulations in regard to beneficiaries. He has a good, strong constitution; and is of a very healthy family. His moral character is most excellent; as a devoted member of our congregation at Daniels, his piety is commendable. He has great aptness to learn, and has superior talents fro public speaking."

In 1872 he entered North Carolina College at Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina, and pursued his studies through the Freshman and sophomore years. He then went to Illinois, taught school some months and attended Lincoln University for a year. Returning to North Carolina College, he was graduated in 1877. He then taught a private school at Conover, North Carolina, and when the public school opened, taught it. He was the first teacher and principal of Concordia High School, later Concordia College. While in Conover, he studied theology privately with the Reverend P.C. Henkel and J.M. Smith. He was ordained by the North Carolina Conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Synod in Concordia Chapel, Conover, North Carolina, on November 30, 1879, upon petition of Concordia and St. James Evangelical Lutheran Churches. In 1878 he married Miss Rosa Elizabeth Fisher, the daughter of Captain Jacob Allison and Mary Caroline (Barnhardt) Fisher of Rowan County, North Carolina. In 1883 he entered the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he studied for one year. He did this under considerable criticism from some persons who thought he should have been satisfied with the training commonly received by other local Lutheran pastors. He then returned to Catawba County as pastor of St. James Church. In 1884 he was elected County Superintendent of Public Instruction of Catawba County and held this office for ten years. During this service he gave private instruction to several Negroes to enable them to qualify to teach in the public schools. In 1886 he surveyed Catawba County, devising an odometer which he attached to his buggy wheel to facilitate his work, and published a map of the county in both wall and folder editions. In 1887 the Board of Trustees of North Carolina College elected him president but he did not accept. A few years late he was asked to accept the presidency of Marion Female College but he declined the call. In 1888 he became president of Concordia College, Conover, North Carolina, and held this office until 1891.

In that year he and some of his co-laborers became interested in property at Hickory, in North Carolina, offered by the will of Colonel Walter Lenoir for a school. When the group decided to accept the property under the terms of Lenoir's will, he accepted the presidency of the institution, bought some lots from the school property and moved his house, newly built in Conover, to these lots. He took the lead in defending the transfer of the school and in enlisting the interest of the Tennessee Synod in the new institution. He served as President of Lenoir College from 1891 to 1901.

In 1901, weary of controversy and weary from the strenuous labor of teaching and administration while he served as pastor of several congregations, he resigned the presidency and went back to St. James church as its pastor. Shortly after coming to Hickory he was elected to membership on the City Council and held this office for a number of years. In 1900 he was elected vice-president of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the South. In 1902 and again in 1904 he was elected President of the United Synod. He came to the end of his life as Pastor of Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Lincolnton, North Carolina, entering into rest May 16, 1911.

He was eminently gifted as a teacher and at various times taught mathematics, botany, English, philosophy and systematic and pastoral theology. His ready wit, sympathetic understanding of moral and spiritual problems, and his genuine interest in his parishioners made him an excellent pastor. He was a popular preacher, preaching doctrinal sermons in such fashion that they edified and interested his hearers.

His principal interest throughout his busy active years was in Christian education. He was reared in a time when schools were inadequate to the needs of the people and the acquiring of an education required great effort and he bent his greatest efforts toward improving this condition. To this end he made considerable material contribution and so overworked himself that he died a comparatively young man. Until he resigned the presidency of Lenoir College, he always did more than the work of two men. I remember his coming to class, after wearisome trips over primitive roads to preach and catechize, almost too weary to get to the class room but with a teaching vigor which effectively led his pupils in search of knowledge. His diaries reveal that for many years his health was not robust but he spoke so little of it that no one, except possibly his wife, knew it.

He despised sham and pretense. He was a devout Christian and a staunch believer in the faith confessed by the Evangelical Lutheran Church. I think he would never have referred to a school with which he was connected as a "church related school." To him education was worth while only when it was Christian in content and purpose and that was of the Church and by the Church. His public declaration of his faith was positive and forceful.

He did not like controversy but disliked compromise on matters of principle more. He was formidable in debate because he did not enter debate from a love of dialectic but only in defense of principles or opinions which he considered worthy to be discussed. Also because of his command of language and a mind which was well informed and which easily presented thought clearly and logically gave weight to his argument He served during time of much controversy and was, by reason of his place among the leaders, thrust into the midst of it. His fairness and lack of personal animus forbade his making enemies of his opponents.

He was the author of a pamphlet, "The Situation in North Carolina," a controversial argument in re the entry of the Missouri Synod into this territory and their assumption of the control of Concordia College, and of many articles published in Our Church Paper and elsewhere.

Five daughters and two sons were born to him and his wife. The first born daughter died in infancy.

>From "Massac County, Illinois Marriages, Vol. II, 1878 - 1890," compiled

by Carolyn Cromeencs Foss and Judy Foreman Lee, 1992, the following record"

>Rufust M. Yoder, age 24, farmer, married Martha J. Bonifield, age 22,

March 8, 1881, in Massac County. Parents of groom: Pink Yoder and

Mary Ann Gaby Parents of bride: William Bonifield and Sarah V. Bailey

>From "Massac County, Illinois, Marriages from miscellaneous sources,

1858-1903," by Massac County Genealogical Society, 1998, the following

record shown:

Rufus M. Yoder, age 26, married Lacy Hall, September 4, 1882, in Massac

County. Benj. J. Delavan, JP. and,

Rufus M. Yoder, age 31, farmer, married Rebecca Ann Hall Henley, age 39,

January 27, 1886, in Massac County. Parents of groom: Pink Yoder and

Mary A. Gaby. Parents of bride: Harvey Hall and Margaret Cunnel.

(Rebecca A. Hall was previously married to Benjamin F. Henley. By that

marriage, there was at least one child, a daughter named Trisa C.

Henley. According to "Massac County Marriages, Vol. 3, 1890 - 1895," a

W. A. Winningham, age 24, farmer, married Trisa C. Henley, age 19, on

February 18, 1890, at Rufus Yoder's home. Trisa's father was Benjamin

F. Henley and mother was Rebecca Ann Hall. Obviously, the two

Winningham children listed in the 1900 Massac County census as Rufus's

grandson and granddaughter were the children of W. A. Winningham and

Trisa C. Henley, Rebecca's daughter.)

I also found another reference to Rufus. His name appears in a booklet

entitled, "1857-1987 Index - Members and Visitors, Massac County Masonic

232 - History Brookport-on-Ohio, Illinois 62910," by Willard A. Kerr.

It only indicates dates that he must have been a member, petition for

membership May 1, 1909; and apparently a MM (Master Mason) on March 19,

1910.

>Don't know if this is of any value to you, but it seems to confirm that

Rufus was in fact married three times as indicated in your newsletter.

PT Lambert is Philip Tracy Lambert. He is my husband's grandfather. He loved writing down his and his cousins lineage. I also have a plethora of letters and picture type post cards written about everyday life in VA and WV -- and inadvertently about family lineage -- that PT had gotten when his father, Ira Oley Clinton Lambert, passed away. Ira's dad was John Tracy Lambert, which is also Alexander Hugh Howard/Home Lambert's father.

When I looked up Alexander's name on Ancestry.com under the 1920 census for Kanawha Co., WV he is listed as Lambert, ?? ......but on close examination of the actual record, I can make out Alexander H. Lambert -- and it also helps that I knew his wife was named Mintie (or something close) and his children, with whom he is listed. All the children are listed except William McKinley...who must have either been married by this time. His obit says that he "entered business at the Elk Machine Company, in 1915, Charleston, WV. " July 7, 1915 William McKinley Lambert wrote a letter to his grandmother Mary Elizabeth Lambert (wife of John Tracy Lambert) He says that he "has just gotten through school and is a Bookkeeper for the Elk Plumbing Company in Charleston, WV. " He signed it "I am your loving grandson, Willie Lambert, Box 58, Charleston, WV."

I do have a photo of Ida Belle and Evelyn Lambert...William's wife and daughter. If you would like to have me e-mail you copies of anything let me know and I would be glad to.

Thank you for the information on Minta/Minty/Mintie. If you happen by anything else that pertains to her, please keep me in mind.

Thank you,

Lori Anne

in answer to some of your questions asked:

Susan had Samuel in 1879...my note said she married Levi Adams in 1881...

and had 7 children -in relooking at my source, I'm not sure that's true.

Is it??? ***note from Jack Teague: My mother said that is definitely not true.

She said Levi was Samuel David Yoder's grandfather and they both lived

with Levi Adams. Levi would have been over 50 at the time of Samuel

David's birth. If he had some sons anyone of them could have gotten her

pregnant (she would have been abt 34)*** Who was the William Knight Adams who married her sister Sarah? ***note from Jack Teague: I do not know where William Knight Adams came

from or what his possible relationship to Levi Adams might be. I do have

him down as marrying Sarah Eliza Yoder. Is it possible that William

Knight Adams or a sibling might possibly be the father of Samuel David

Yoder and that he took both Susan and Samuel David Yoder in since one of

his sons had gotten her pregnant??.***

Here is the prime person I'd connect with:

Ruth A. Minter,Ruth,A. ,Minter,,,,708 Capri St.,,Arnold,MD,21012-1125

--she has the best material and is the descendant of Susan's sister

Sarah.

She says that Ann was the second wife of levi Louis Adams...his first

had a son before they were married, probably while he was still married to Matilda Varner"

CHAPTER XXXV

ANDREW L. YODER(3), 1812-1900

Andrew L. Yoder(3) was born January 14, 1812 and died May 7, 1900. He married Ann Kistler, August 1, 1837, who was born in 1812 and died in 1905. Both were members of Grace Lutheran Church and are buried in Grace Church Cemetery. Their children were Sidney, Jacob, Caroline, Catharine, Barbara, Frances, Henry, and Magdalena.

Andrew L. Yoder(3) was a farmer and cabinet and furniture maker. At the sale of his personal property after his death, many fine pieces of furniture were sold that had been made by his own hands. Many people came from a distance to purchase antique furniture he had made.

A few years before his death, David Yoder(2), had willed to his son Andrew, his 222 acre farm on Potts Creek, charging him with the responsibility of taking care of his four unmarried daughters, who were living with him. Andrew faithfully carried out the provisions of the will, taking care of his sisters, along with raising his own family of eight children. He was a quiet, industrious, frugal man, beloved by all his neighbors. He usually had a surplus of farm products, which he sold to people whose crops were "short" or had failed. From those who could not pay cash, he took notes of credit. At his death a number of these notes, long overdue, had not been paid. The author's father, Colin M. Yoder(5), administrator of his estate, had the task of trying to collect these notes. Interest was forgiven on some of the notes and others could not be collected.

The author as a small boy eleven years old, remembers well attending the funereal of Andrew L. Yoder(3). He did not know or appreciate then that Andrew L. Yoder(3) was the last grandson of Conrad Yoder(1) to depart this life and that many years later he would be writing this sketch of him and his family. Rev. W.P. Cline preached the funeral sermon. He dwelt on the struggles of the early pioneers of the Grace Church community, their courage and their industry, their hardships, as they had hewed their farms out of the heavy wilderness and built their homes, and how they had lived as good Christian Neighbors, helping one another in time of need.

Division of the real estate of Andrew L. Yoder(3) among his heirs in 1900 was as follows:

To James Yoder(5) and Thomas Yoder(5), grandsons, and sons of Sidney Yoder(4), 34-1/2 acres of upland and 2-1/2 acres of bottom land, valued at $350.

To Caroline Jarrett(4), daughter, 37 acres valued at $350.

To Barbara Yoder(4), 35 acres of upland and 2-2/8 acres of bottom land (with encumbrance of widow dower), valued at $350.

To Catharine Yoder(4), 37 acres of upland (with encumbrance of widow's dower), valued at $350.

To Margaret (Magdalena) Hoover(4), daughter, 38 acres of upland valued at $350.

To Frances Whitener(4), daughter, 37 acres of upland valued at $350.

Children, Grandchildren, Great-grandchildren

1. Sidney Yoder(4) married Eliza Reep December 20, 1866. He was born June 21, 1838 and died November 30, 1872. Eliza Reep was born September 21, 1840 and died April 6, 1921. Their children were James Franklin and Thomas. Sidney Yoder (4) was a member of Grace Lutheran Church and is buried in Grace Church Cemetery. He was a farmer. His wife is also buried at Grace with her second husband, John Jacob Jarrett.

( My name is Jeff Yoder and I live in Atlanta Ga. I am the great

great grandson of Sidney Yoder Con3A1. I do not know if this will be of any interest  but I thought that I would pass it along. I have been trying for sometime to find Sidneys records of his service in the southern army during the civil war. I found out that he enlisted

on 7/4/1861with the 1st NC Infantry and served with the Army of Northern Virginia until his capture on  4/6/1865 at Amelia Court House Virginia, He was sent to Point Lookout Maryland until he was paroled on 6/22/1865.

I have information which goes beyond Fred Yoder's book regarding my grandfather James Franklin Yoder, son of Andrew and

brother of Thomas. The family story goes that he was orphaned young and was raised by a Jarrett family, became postmaster

in Fallston and remained there, having no contact with his family in Catawba County.

I have a page evidently copied from a family Bible regarding his family.
