Israel Yoder, a resident of Monroe County, Indiana, died during the autumn of 1865. He was 53 years old.

A Son of the American Revolution, Israel inherited this prestigious title from his grandfather Johann Phillip Dellinger, Jr., who had emigrated from Germany while still a youth. Born in 1743, Johann sailed with his family to America's shores and settled in North Carolina during the pre-Revolutionary winds of war. As the years passed, the patriotism of the Dellingers became evident and, when war loomed on the horizon, they selflessly took up arms and joined the fight for freedom.

Johann, called John by his English neighbors, became a member of the Committee of Safety of Tryon County, North Carolina, and he was one of 28 persons who boldly signed its Resolutions in October of 1775. (It should be noted that while dozens more sympathized with the Committee, many declined to sign the Resolves. Recorded for posterity is the fact that, after chairman William Graham, John Dellinger was the first to sign.) Previously, in August of the same year, the original Tryon Resolves were drafted and set forth in support of the first military engagements of the American Revolution--the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts. John was one of 49 who courageously penned their names to the following:

"The unprecedented, barbarous and bloody actions committed by British troops on our American brethren near Boston, on 19th April and 20th of May last, together with the hostile operations and treacherous designs now carrying on, by the tools of ministerial vengeance, for the subjugation of all British America, suggest to us the painful necessity of having recourse to arms in defense of our National freedom and constitutional rights, against all invasions; and at the same time do solemnly engage to take up arms and risk our lives and our fortunes in maintaining the freedom of our country . . . We therefore, the subscribers, freeholders and inhabitants of Tryon County, do hereby faithfully unite ourselves under the most solemn ties of religion, honor and love to our county, firmly to resist force by force, and hold sacred till a reconciliation shall take place between Great Britain and America on Constitutional principles, which we most ardently desire, and do firmly agree to hold all such persons as inimical to the liberties of America who shall refuse to sign this association."

In preparation for British retaliation, the Tryon County Militia was formed, and John rose to the rank of Captain while defending his adopted hometown of North Carolina in the 1780 Battles of Kings Mountain and Ramsour's Mill. Before the latter skirmish began, John served as a guide, leading Colonel Francis Locke covertly to the place where more than 1000 Tories had assembled. In January of the following year, he served with Brigadier General Daniel Morgan and Washington's Continental Army in the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina.

John Dellinger gifted his rich American heritage to his grandson Israel who, in turn, handed it down to his descendants. Israel's life in Indiana was full of family, perhaps more than most. He lived for generations in the same County as many of his relatives, including--but not limited to--grandparents, parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, and in-laws. When he needed help, he found it, and favors were returned tenfold. His final days on earth were spent at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Jackson and Jane Lentz, who nursed him tenderly. It was there he breathed his last, when the first brightly colored leaves of autumn began to fall and when, three days hence, his first granddaughter, Mary Josephine Lentz, would be born.
