OBITUARY
ROBERT AARON YODER
1897-1923
Yoder.--Robert Aaron Yoder, son of Levi D. and Laura (Eash) Yoder, was born May 24, 1897; died May 7, 1923; aged 25 y. 11 m. 13 d. He leaves to mourn his departure his parents, three brothers (Nelson, Morgan, Moses); four sisters (Nellie, Linnie, Mary, Anna, all at home), and a host of relatives and friends. Bro. Robert was not well for almost a year. He was bedfast only three weeks and bore his suffering patiently until the end. A little while before he died he called his parents, brothers, sisters, and one who was very near to him, gave all a hearty "Good-bye" and said, "All is well" and peacefully passed away. He united with the Mennonite Church early in life and lived a loyal, devoted life to his God and church. The family has lost a loving son and brother. The church and Sunday school have lost a faithful worker. He served as a Sunday school teacher for several years, and for seven years as a school teacher, for which work he was especially qualified. We cannot understand why such needed ones are taken from the home and community yet we can believe that our loss is his gain. The funeral services were conducted at the Kaufman Mennonite Church near Johnstown, Pa., by Bro. E. D. Hess of Masontown, Pa., E. J. Blough, L. A. Blough, and James Saylor. A large concourse of friends assembled to pay the last tribute of respect.
By the family.
