NORMAN S. YODER

  Norman S. Yoder, 70, of Pinto, Md., son of the late Saul D. Yoder and Katie 
Yutzy Yoder, died Monday evening in Allegany Hospital, Cumberland, following a 
heart attack.
  He had been in ill health for two years, but it was not until Tuesday 
afternoon that his condition became critical and he was admitted to the 
hospital.
  Born in Somerset County, Pa., Mr. Yoder married Miss Anna Yoder, of Springs, 
Pa., March 25, 1899, and moved to Pinto in 1908, when he took over the 
management of the Washington Bottom farm for the Hitchins Edwards Co. of 
Frostburg.  Twelve years later he bought the H. S. Rawlings farm at Pinto and 
operated a dairy farm until his retirement several years ago.
  Mr. Yoder was a member, and one of the founders of the Pinto Mennonite Church.
  Besides his wife, he is survived by nine children: Mrs. Myron Livengood, Mrs. 
Harry J. Barton, Walter N. Yoder, Mrs. Carlton Helmick, Paul N. Yoder, Mrs. 
Robert Johnson, Mrs. Wesley Collins, Norman S. Yoder, Jr., Pinto, and Mrs. 
Robert Dayton, Ridgeley, W.Va.
  Also surviving are 30 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, one sister, 
Mrs. Noah Hershberger, Grantsville, and a half-brother, Lewis Yoder, Springs, 
Pa.
  Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. at Pinto.
