I believe really strongly that Conrad Yoder came from Oley, or
at least was

living in Oley with a relative. Conrad Yoder, Michael Whitener,
and Henry

Whitener all came from Oley Twp., Berks County together. The only
land

Henry WEidner ever sold was to Conrad and Michael. He sold them
the VERY

VALUABLE water rights. Contrary to legend, original papers show
that Henry

sold the water rights to Conrad and to Michael FOR THE SAME AMOUNT
OF

MONEY. There is some ridiculous story that Henry charged Michael
more

than Conrad.--- Anne McAllister, author "Georg Heinrich Weidner
1717-1792;

Catharina Mull Weidner 1733-1804"

A Yoder sister? > From: "Bob Kastens" <[email protected]>

I have Hans Jacob Hoffman (b. 1716, Germany), m. 1st, 1745, to
Catherina Best &

m. 2nd, 1770, to Catherina Yoder. He died in Gaston Co, NC. I
don't have any info

on Ms. Yoder. Can you help? Bob

There was a Hoffman family book by Max Hoffman, revised by
Frances Wellman

Hoffman with details on the Hoffman family. But they have nothing
on

Catherina Yoder. I am trying to find where I got this info. Hans
Jacob Hoffman

was born in Palatinate of Germany in 1716. Sailed from

> Rotterdam, Holland, on the British ship Pennsylvania Packet
& arrived in

Philadelphia on October 3, 1768. Settled in Berks Co, PA. Later
moved to the

Shenandoah Valley, VA. Settled on land on the South Fork River
valley in

what is now Gaston Co, NC. Married, 1745, Catherina Best, in Palatinate
of

Germany. Bob

Francis M and Armilda are my great-great grandparents. James Marion
was born

in Iowa 10 Sept, 1858. (although his obituary states his father
was J.F.

Yoder, more later). Armilda died, and F.M. married Sophie. In
1885 census

they were in Shell City, Minnesota, where they bought ownership
of the town.

They owned several businesses there, including the Yoder Haus
hotel.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wonderful site!!! My sister has been doing family research on
the Yoder

side, and sent info that my dad sent me, so she really gets the
credit.

My great-grandfather, James Marion Yoder, son of Francis Marion
Yoder,

is the one who took the picture of Miss Edna Yoder in Shell city,
MN, in 1884.

Shell city was founded in part by francis M. Yoder. James M. Yoder
married

Margaret Etta Doran in Shell City in Aug 1882. The Yoders then
moved to

Menahga, then to Fargo, North Dakota in 1886. We never knew where
our

great-grandparents came from (after Iowa), until a few years ago
when our

father, Donald Yoder was looking at property less than 5 miles
from the

original Shell City site, and was asked by the Wadena County Historical

society if he was related to the Yoders who founded Shell City!!!!

The county owns the property of shell city now, and there are
signs locating

all of the original buildings, such as the Yoder House hotel,
school, etc.

For more info, please contact my sister, who has done all of the
research,

and needs the credit--Nancy Yoder email--Cats [email protected]

Con2322- James M. "Jim" Yoder b. ca1859 IA. Moved
1886 from Madison,

SD to Fargo, SD. James M., was teacher, also postmaster, and he
married

Margaret Etta Doran, (Maggie, born 27 Sept, 1866), daughter of
John and Mary

Doran from Ontario (formerly of Ireland).Their wedding was 30
Aug, 1882. The

town died, because the railroad did not come into Shell City.
The Yoder's

and Dorans moved on to Fargo, Dakota Territory on Feb 26, 1886.
North Dakota

became a state in 1889. My James M. was a salesman, and after
the great

Fargo fire, in 1893, ordered two railroad boxcars of goods, and
sold them

from there.

children:

Con23221- Claude Francis born 20 April, 1887, married Inga Marie
Malland Jan

18, 1908. They had a son, George albert, born 27 Dec 1911. According
to the

1920 census, it lists George, age 8 as a nephew living with James
M., but my

dad says it is him, a grandson. Claude died in 1931 of a heart
attack in the

projection room of the Fargo Theatre. He was disabled due to a
"gas" attack

in WWI.

Con23222- William Albert (Wid), 12 Feb, 1889. I vaguely remember
him. Wife

was Julia, three kids, Robert, Marlys, Bruce. Bruce always came
to our lake

cottage, remember him building an air boat, which capsized with
my dad,

sister and I. He married a Marlys. Died in 1993

Con23223- Ethel Mae b. 23 Jan 1891. Single all her life. Was a
lab tech.

Lived in house with my grandfather. Had all family papers, along
with family

Bible, which she instructed minister to never give to family members.
This

is why we are struggling to recreate info. My dad is probably
the last of

this clan.

Con23224- Earl Doran, b. 12 June, 1892. Supposedly moved to Sumner,
Washington.

Con23225- James Colburn b. 7 January 1895. My grandfather. His
middle name is

also found as Colbert, but in my g-grandfather's history book
that he taught

school from, and recorded family infor, it is clearly written
Colburn. He

spent WWI in France. Married Eleanor Tovaas and later divorced.
One son,

Donald Allen Yoder, born 30 April, 1933. Worked for railway express

(Northern pacific) for 43 years. Active as a Shriner. Died Jan,

Con297 - Thomas J YODER

born 8 Oct 1854, Brown County, Indiana

marr 26 Mar 1883, Cerro Gordo Country, Iowa

died 15 Jan 1944, Puyallup, Washington

spouse - Rose L HANSEN

born Dec 1862, (Racine County?), Wisconsin

died

I believe that Thomas J Yoder was still in Brown County, Indiana,

at the time of the 1880 census, but that there were Yoders

already living in Floyd County, Iowa, by that time, notably, I

reckon, offspring of Henry Yoder (Con23) and Ruth Ann Radler or

Rader, both of whom had died in Floyd County before 1880. Their

son Francis Marion (Con232) was reported in Floyd County in the

1880 census, along with some children. Floyd County is the next

county east of Cerro Gordo County in the north central part of

the state. (It is named after a then-famous victory, of 1847,
in

the Mexican war. The first white people settled there in 1851.
It

also gave us the word 'tractor,' when, in 1902, the sales manager

of the Hart Parr Factory in Charles City decided that 'gasoline

traction engine' was just too damned long to attract customers.)

I believe Thomas was looking around for a situation where he

could take up farming and he may well have been visiting or

working for relatives in Floyd County when he met Rose Hansen,

who was living just over the county line in Rock Falls.

Soon after Thomas J and Rose married they went to Minnesota,

because their first child, Edna Verena (my grandmother), was born

in Shell River Township, Wadena County, in Minnesota on 25 August

1884, less than two years after the marriage, and I have her

birth certificate and a photograph of the house in which they

were living. I believe they went there because there were other

Yoders living there, on evidence of a note on the back of the

photo which reads 'Miss. Edna Yoder / The house where she was

born in 1884. / Rode view taken by J.M. Yoder / Shell City Minn
/

July 3d- 1898.'

Who was that? I notice from the genealogy that one of the Iowa

Yoders was James M Yoder, born around 1859 in Iowa (Con2322).
He

would have been three years younger than my great grandfather

(and one generation removed). Just a guess.

My Yoders seem, however, not to have stayed long in Minnesota.

Thomas took up a double homesteading claim near Pierre, South

Dakota (in Sully County?), one for farming and one for forestry.

He had to give the forestry claim up, but he worked the farming

claim for about thirty years.

When Edna Verena married Roy Dorothy in 1906, the newlyweds went

to Concunully, Washington, to raise apples. Some time thereafter,

Edna's younger brother, Ralph, somehow managed to set fire to
the

barn and destroyed all the winter feed for the livestock on the

homestead. All the animals died that winter, and Thomas sold up.

The remaining family (possibly excepting daughter Jesse) moved
to

Washington, partly because Edna and her husband were living

there, and partly because Rose's father had left her a house in

Tacoma. He is supposed to have been named Ole Hansen, and family

legend has him confused with the famous Mayor of Seattle by that

name, but, if that Hansen is related at all (which I doubt), he

would have had to be Rose's brother, not father. I have a

startlingly well made photograph of all the Yoders in a photo

studio in Puyallup, Washington, in 1915 or 1916. I would never

have been able to figure out the date of this photo if my

grandmother had not noted that Mazel was thirteen, as both my

grandmother and her sister Jesse look like teenagers, although

even Jesse must have been thirty. She may well have been visiting

Puyallup from Texas at the time.

In any case, the Yoders settled in Puyallup, bought a 'fifteen-

cent store,' and lived there until around the end of world war

two.

Con2971 - Edna Verena YODER

born 25 Aug 1884, Shell River Township, Wadena County,

Minnesota

marr 18 May 1905, Kaspar, South Dakota

died 23 Dec 1980, Tustin, Orange County, California

spouse - Roy DOROTHY-12 (1882-1947)

Edna grew up on the Yoder homestead near Pierre, South Dakota,

and recalled seeing pioneers in covered wagons, the Ghost Dance

rising of the Sioux Indians, and the great plains blizzards that

destroyed the cattle industry in the 1890s. She attended a one-

room school until she was sixteen, at which point she became the

teacher. A handwritten resume she prepared in order to apply for

a civil service job in California, reveals that she spent eight

years in South Dakota Public Schools doing 'grammar school

subjects' until November 1899, and another few months, from April

to November of 1900 doing 'high school subjects.' In 1901, from

January to June, she attended high school in Gettysburg, South

Dakota.

She then had two stints of school teaching, one from November

1901 to May 1902 in Sully County, at '25 or 27.50' and another

from October 1902 to April 1903 at '27.50 to 30.' I gather those

figures are dollars/month. The fact that these jobs were in Sully

County leads me to believe that the family homestead was located

in that county too.

Family legend has it that people in the neighborhood took up a

collection to send her to school to learn how to be a proper

teacher, and in 1903 she went to Mankato, Minnesota, where she

saw her first automobile - there were two in the town at the

time. I'm not sure what happened with the education as a teacher,

since she in fact took a course in stenography from April to

October 1903 (and she used it all her life - I have shorthand

notes she took of telephone calls received when she was in her

nineties).

For about seven months she worked halftime, at three dollars a

week, for two different businesses in Gettysburg, until August

1904, when she went to work for the National Bank of Commerce

in Pierre, where she roomed with the family of one of her

coworkers, the Dorothys.

The Dorothys had come up to Pierre around 1895 from Ute, a tiny

town in Monona County on the western border of Iowa, and E F

Dorothy operated several grocery stores and traded in cattle.

They seem to have been fairly well to do as Prairie families

went. Roy worked in the bank on the theory that there were only

two good ways for a young man to get ahead, by going to a

university or working in a bank, and university was not a

possibility. E F gave his son a horse and buggy, and Roy soon

began to drive the family's roomer to church in it, to the

chagrin of Roy's sister, Blanche, who felt she deserved the seat.

Roy and Edna may have eloped to marry in Kaspar, South Dakota,
a

town where neither had family or other connections that I know

of. Their wedding announcement is an after-the-fact one, and it

notes that after the wedding the couple would be 'at home' in

Concunully, Washington.

In the early twenties they moved to California, settled in

Sacramento, and both worked for the State government until they

retired. Both were highly placed civil servants. Roy was an

accountant for the Board of Equalization (tax office) and Edna

worked for any number of different boards and agencies. They had

three children, Don Vincent Dorothy, Thelma Ruth Dorothy (my

mother), and Carol Agnes Dorothy.

Con2972 - Jessica 'Jesse' YODER

born 1885, probably in or near Pierre, South Dakota

I don't know much about Jesse except that she married twice and

lived in Austin, Texas. She had two children by her first

husband, Patricia Breedlove and Philip Breedlove, and two by her

second, Robert Eastman and Margaret Eastman.

Con2973 - Evelyn YODER

I'm not sure of her dates of birth or death, but she died as a

very small child of diphtheria.

Con2974 - Ralph YODER

born 1888, probably in or near Pierre, South Dakota

Ralph, after burning down the homestead barn, moved with his

parents to Puyallup, Washington. During world war two he was

living and working in Tacoma, Washington. He married someone

named 'Lil,' and they had at least two children. One of them was

named Glenna Dee and she married Robert J St Clair on 6 November

of an indeterminate year.

Con2975 - Mazel YODER

born 1902, probably in or near Pierre, South Dakota

Mazel also moved with her parents to Washington and was still

living there, in Seattle, in the seventies. She married Arthur
C

'Butch' SONNTAG and had two children, Stanley SONNTAG in 1925,

and Virginia SONNTAG in 1930. The last known address I had for

her is 3703 Densmore Avenue, Seattle 3. A postcard from her to
my

grandmother reveals that Butch 'will be 80' on July 8, and I

_think_ the postmark reads 1978.

*****************************************

Chris,

I have learned a few things and sharpened my information since
the material I sent

to you the other day. The main thing is that I figured out the
location of the

Thomas J Yoder homestead - it was at Kaspar, in Sully County,
South Dakota.

Kaspar itself no longer exists, it has been folded into the town
of Onida, but this is

a more exact location that 'near Pierre.'

By speaking with my Aunt Carol, I have been able to clean up the
information on

the family as well. It should read like this:

HUSBAND Thomas J YODER (Con297)

BORN: 8 Oct 1854 PLACE: ,Brown,Indiana,USA

DIED: 16 Jan 1944 PLACE: Puyallup,,Washington,USA

MARR: 26 Mar 1883 PLACE: ,Cerro Gordo,Iowa,USA

WIFE Rose L HANSEN

BORN: Dec 1862 PLACE: ,Racine,Wisconsin,USA

DIED: 1944 PLACE: Puyallup,,Washington,USA

One my grandmother's birth certificate the place of birth is given
as Wisconsin. I

am guessing at the Racine County, on foot of the family legend
that has her related

to Ole Hansen, the Mayor of Seattle, who was born in Racine County.
I'm

guessing at her date of death. The last letter in her hand is
dated February 1944.

CHILDREN

Edna Verena YODER (Con2971)

BORN: 25 Aug 1884 PLACE: Shell River Twnp,Wadena, Minnesota,USA

DIED: 23 Dec 1980 PLACE: Tustin,Orange,California,USA

SPOUSE: Roy DOROTHY

MARR: 18 May 1905 PLACE: Kaspar,Sully,South Dakota,USA

Jessica 'Jesse' YODER (Con2972)

BORN: 31 Jan 1886 PLACE: Kaspar,Sully,South Dakota,USA

SPOUSE 1: EASTMAN

SPOUSE 2: BREEDLOVE

Lived in Austin TX.

Ralph YODER (Con2973)

BORN: 1888 PLACE: Kaspar,Sully,South Dakota,USA Lived in

Tacoma WA. During the war was driving a truck for the Model Bakery.
His wife's

first name was Lil and he had at least one daughter named Glenna
Dee, who

married Robert J Sinclair at the Trinity Lutheran Chapel in Parkland
WA.

Lily YODER (Con2974)

BORN: 1890 PLACE: Kaspar,Sully,South Dakota,USA

DIED: 1902 PLACE: Kaspar,Sully,South Dakota,USA

This child died of diphtheria at the age of twelve.

Mazel YODER (Con2975)

BORN: 7 Oct 1902 PLACE: Kaspar,Sully,South Dakota,USA

SPOUSE: Arthur C 'Butch' SONNTAG

Lived in Seattle WA.

In your document with the filename CONRAD.DOC, Nora Springs,
Iowa, is in

many places correctly spelled, but in quite a few others it is
spelled 'Nona' Springs.

The latter does not exist. Nora Springs is right on the Cerro
Gordo/Floyd County

line, which probably explains why Thomas J Yoder met and married
Rose Hansen

there. Rock Falls is within walking distance of Nora Springs.

Did I already tell you why I think Thomas J Yoder and his bride
detoured to

Minnesota long enough for her mother, Edna V Yoder, to be born
in Shell River

Township? I looked again at a small photograph I have of the house
where she

was born, a 9 cm x 9 cm sepia photo mounted on a somewhat larger
card with the

stamp of a photo studio in Fargo ND on it. Someone wrote on the
back, 'Rode [sic]

view taken by J.M.Yoder / Shell City Minn / July 3d- 1895.'

That's eleven years after my grandmother was born and long after
her family had

moved to South Dakota. Thomas J had an older brother named James
M Yoder

(Con291), but he lived and died in Brown County, Indiana. A more
likely

candidate would seem to be another James M Yoder (Con2322) among
the Iowa

Yoders. Although he was of a different generation, this James
was only a few

years younger than Thomas J. I notice that the genealogy has no
further

information on James - that may be because he settled in Wadena
County,

Minnesota.---- Regards, Fred Haines (submitted Jun. 1996)

(" ...the only thing new I have to add is that I found "Dolphin"
Yoder in

the 1830 census for Washington County MO. I am sure it is the
same

as Adolphus because he was in Washington County MO in 1840 and
1860,

and Julia was there in 1850. The listing for Dolphin Yoder lists
a male and

a female of the right age, which is consistent with what we know,
since

their oldest child was not born until 1830 or later... There is
also a Yoder

listed in Washington County MO Marriages 1815-1844, Reel C6834

Recorder of Deeds, Title Maqrriages, Vol. A, 1815-1844-Y. I think
this

must be Adolphus and Julia. His second marriage didn't take place

until 1849. However, I have not yet had the opportunity to order
the

microfilm, and the index only lists surnames." Tilitha Waicekauskas

[email protected] Nov. 2000)(suddenly information about Adolphus

Yoder is just falling all around me! I put a query on the Washington
Co.

MO message board, which was promptly answered by William Baker,
who

put me in touch with Preston Gilliam, a descendant of Adolphus
Yoder's

third wife by her first husband. He had a lot of information and
pictures

of the cabin Adolphus Yoder built in Yoder Holler. He said it
is still being

lived in by one of Sarah Gilliam Yoder's descendants, and still
does not

have plumbing or electricity. Adolphus must have done a good job,
because

the cabin still looks very sturdy. Preston says that Sarah and
her husband

lived on an adjoining farm to Adolphus, and that a couple of years
after her

husband died, Sarah had a baby, and the parentage has never been
disclosed,

although they feel sure it was Adolphus Yoder's baby. He married
her a

year or two after that and they combined their farms and built
the cabin.

Adolphus was a miner as well as a farmer. That makes sense because
they

lived in the lead belt. I believe there is, or was, iron in that
area also.

by Carolyn Cromeencs Foss and Judy Foreman Lee, 1992, the following
record"

>Rufust M. Yoder, age 24, farmer, married Martha J. Bonifield,
age 22,

March 8, 1881, in Massac County. Parents of groom: Pink Yoder
and

Mary Ann Gaby Parents of bride: William Bonifield and Sarah V.
Bailey

>From "Massac County, Illinois, Marriages from miscellaneous
sources,

1858-1903," by Massac County Genealogical Society, 1998,
the following

record shown:

Rufus M. Yoder, age 26, married Lacy Hall, September 4, 1882,
in Massac

County. Benj. J. Delavan, JP.

and,

Rufus M. Yoder, age 31, farmer, married Rebecca Ann Hall Henley,
age 39,

January 27, 1886, in Massac County. Parents of groom: Pink Yoder
and

Mary A. Gaby. Parents of bride: Harvey Hall and Margaret Cunnel.

(Rebecca A. Hall was previously married to Benjamin F. Henley.
By that

marriage, there was at least one child, a daughter named Trisa
C.

Henley. According to "Massac County Marriages, Vol. 3, 1890
- 1895," a

W. A. Winningham, age 24, farmer, married Trisa C. Henley, age
19, on

February 18, 1890, at Rufus Yoder's home. Trisa's father was Benjamin

F. Henley and mother was Rebecca Ann Hall. Obviously, the two

Winningham children listed in the 1900 Massac County census as
Rufus's

grandson and granddaughter were the children of W. A. Winningham
and

Trisa C. Henley, Rebecca's daughter.)

I also found another reference to Rufus. His name appears in a
booklet

entitled, "1857-1987 Index - Members and Visitors, Massac
County Masonic

232 - History Brookport-on-Ohio, Illinois 62910," by Willard
A. Kerr.

It only indicates dates that he must have been a member, petition
for

membership May 1, 1909; and apparently a MM (Master Mason) on
March 19,

1910.

>Don't know if this is of any value to you, but it seems to
confirm that

Rufus was in fact married three times as indicated in your newsletter.
