From: Dwane Yoder <dwaneyoder@sprintmail.com>
Chris:
In reference to cemeteries where Yoders are buried in Somerset
Co. Pa.
I noticed that a cemetery was missing from the exhaustive list
given.
That cemetery is the St. James Lutheran Church grave yard --now
without
a church building--located in Jenner Township, off route 601 between
Boswell and Jerome in Somerset County. My grandparents are buried
there
along with 2 children. The names of the Yoders of my family are
:
Father, Joseph 1878-1943, Mother: Gwertrude Grace (Sowerbrower)
1885-1964; Infant son--(no name) of above parents 1927-1927 and
Daughter Bessie V. (1909-1925).
Other Yoders are not relatives of the above. Further identification
as
to family source may be possible through the good offices of Jerry
Yoder
who comes from the same area in Conemaugh Township, Somersety
Co. where
these names come from. They are:
Vernon W. Yoder 1913-1948--He is from the Hyasota Yoders--Truman,
John
etcl who lived on route 601 at the railroad trtacks in Hyasota.
Other
family member names escape me.
John E. Yoder 1906-1972 married to Ethel Griffith, born 1911--death
date not on stone. Jerry might know of the "Soap Hollow"
Yoders. John
was of this group
As of this date 30 Nov. 1998 there are no other Yoders buried
at this
cemetery. respectfully, Dwane Yoder
From: "William Yoder" <bill.yoder@york.com>
Subject: Yoder Burial
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 16:23:37 -0500
I'm William L Yoder, age 46, Waynesboro Pa. My family came from
Somerset
Co., Stony Creek Township. My Great Grand Father was Jonas Yoder,
1840-1917
(YR2395b) buried at Payman. I would like to add another cemetery
to the
list when Yoders are buried. Most of my father's ( William Jonas
Yoder )
1914 -1984, family are buried in Mizpah Cemetery in Somerset Co.
I believe
the cemetery was part of the old Will's Church. My grandparents,
parents,
three uncles, three aunts, etc. I'm sorry but I do not have the
address at
this time.
Sincerely,
William ( Bill) Lynn Yoder
