===================
YODER - On the 30th of July 1893, near Sharon Centre, Johnson Co., Iowa, Susanna Yoder, daughter of David Yoder, dec., aged 88 years and 18 days. She was born near Johnstown, Pa., and united with the Amish denomination in her youth. She was never married, and came with Abner Yoder to Iowa about 27 years ago, living there with her sister at Peter Miller's. After their demise she remained with her nephew John P. Miller, where in her declining years she had a comfortable home and all her wants supplied. On Christmas 1892 she was stricken with paralysis from which she was confined to her bed. Seven weeks afterwards another stroke deprived her of her speech. The evening before her death she wished to be taken into the other rooms, and when this was done she seemed pleased and smiled as she sat in her chair, but presently her head reeled and her body sank over to one side, and a few hours later she breathed her last. In the seven months of her affliction she was in her chair but twice. She received constant and loving attention from her nephew's oldest daughter, who seemed to understand all her motions and inarticulate words. "Aunt Susan," as she was called, was greatly pleased to have her old friends come to call upon her, though it was a sore affliction to her not to be able to speak with them. Buried on the 1st of August in Peter Miller's grave-yard. Funeral services by Peter Kinsinger, J.J. Plank and others. Herald of Truth, Oct. 1, 1893, pages 310,311.
