May Mh is; i.-,, aed ..7 years, 1
month and ! days. He went to
school and clerked until he was 2:t
yeat s of who lieu he married Bar
barn Walter daughter of Christian
Walter of Kreamcr.
He tin n embarked in Die nietcan
tile business in the partnetship if
Walter and Yoder. After 2 yeais
the business was sold to Hon. J. A.
Smith. Mr. Yoder then built a stoie
at Meiser Station and continued in
the mercantile business for 22 years
lie then bought David Meiser's mill
aud later built a threo story brick
mill which wus the first complote
Roller mill in the County. His suc
cess iu both the mercantile und tl.fl
milling business was very flattering,
The high estimate in which he was
held by his fellow men was proven
by his election to the ollice of As
hociate Judgu of this county and
serving as Nice l'rsident of tie
First Nat. Bank of .Middleburgh at
the time of his death. His matri
monial union was blessed with 3
bo.vs and four girls. The family
was never troubled much with sick
ness until the estimable wife of his
son, Grant, was called away to her
eternal home on account of typhoid
fever just four weeks before the
death of Mr. Yoder. This makes
tho death of Ex-Judge Yoder a
double iitltiction to tho bereaved
family. Mrs. Yoder too is sick with
typhoid fever.
Tho funeral was e inducted by
Lafayette Lodge of Free Masons at
thegiiive, and was attended by a
large host of relatives aud friends.

An Hoiv.'bt Reproont.itive.

and our representative has again
taken his abode with us. To say

While it is true that the legislature

were too few in number to cope w ith
