BIOGRAPHY BY HIRAM FRANKLIN DEANER, 1946:
"[Yost] was born in Germany, the place unknown, January 20, 1762, died August 18, 1821, age 59 years. This inscription is on a tombstone at his grave in Old Mount Hebron graveyard near Keedysville, Maryland. He and a brother emigrated to the United States probably during the revolutionary war...After their arrival in New York he and his brother separated and never communicated with each other thereafter. His brother probably went to Pennsylvania and afterward emigrated to Illinois. Yost Deaner coming Maryland, and located a farm near Keedysville, now owned by the "Burtner" family for some years. He married "Catherine Shunk" a widow of "Christian Thomas". I have no knowledge or data relating to the "Shunk" family, or her marriage to Yost Deaner or to Christian Thomas. She was born September 8, 1759, died April 20, 1825, buried by request beside her first husband "Thomas". I was informed by my parents because she liked Thomas better than she did Deaner--probably on account of having so many Deaner children. Her remains are also in the old Mt. Hebron graveyard. A William Deaner, wife and three children, for a time lived in Oakland, California. He informed me he came from a Deaner family living in Illinois. He thought his ancestral parent came to Illinois from Pennsylvania. Likely this may have been the brother to Yost Deaner. The name Deaner in German may be spelled and pronounced "Deiner", which means a servant or to serve. Catherine Shunk and her husband, Christian Thomas, had a son Daniel Thomas, his wife was Aunt Peggy." -Hiram Franklin Deaner, "Yost, Catherine Deaner and Their Descendants" (1946)
Note: Hiram Franklin Deaner was the grandson of Yost through his son Christian Deaner.
