  Mrs. Mary (Summy) Yoder, widow of David Yoder, passed away on Saturday, May 
31, at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Joel E. Hershberger in Elk Lick 
Township.  She was aged 92 years, 4 months and 22 days.  Her husband, David 
Yoder, who lived for many years on the farm now occupied by his grandson, Joseph

survive, namely, Jacob D. Yoder, Fanny, wife of Joel E. Hershberger, Barbara, 
widow of William Bender, Jonas D. Yoder, and Annie, wife of Russell J. Engle.  
She also had 28 grandchildren, 14 of whom survive, 46 great-grandchildren, 44

wife of David Yoder, who had a number of children by his first wife, among them 
the following named sons: Solomon D., Moses D., Urias D., and Daniel D. Yoder, 
all deceased, and John D. Yoder, surviving.  The funeral, Monday, was very 
largely attended by relatives and friends.  Mrs. Yoder was a faithful member of 
the Amish Mennonite Church during her entire lifetime, and was highly respected 
by all who knew her.
