YODER.-Abraham Yoder was born in Pennsylvania July 15, 1830, moved from Lawrence Co., Pa., to St. Joseph Co., Mich., in April 1862, removed to Cass Co., Mo., in August 1868, and to Clackemas Co., Oregon, in August 1897, at which place, on the 5th of Jan. 1904, he died, surrounded by his wife and all except one of his surviving children.

He leaves his wife, three sons, four daughters and thirty-four grandchildren to mourn his departure, yet not as those who have no hope. About two weeks before his death he called his family to his bedside and bade them good-bye according to their ages, from the oldest to the youngest, admonishing them to live true Christian lives and telling them his time was short on this earth and that he expected to see his Savior on the other shore.

He was buried on the 8th in the Zion cemetery.
