Aug.3, 1867 +Con8- Adam b. Jun.23, 1785 - - - - - - - - - - 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.

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] Patricia (Yoder) Cheney <[email protected]> Bulverde, TX USA - Monday, March 16,1998. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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) ****************************************************** Con298 Willard C.

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.

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. >Bob Portsche, Arlington, Virginia, <[email protected]> - - - - - - - - Con3913- Samuel Bradford Yoder (-/-/1859 TN- ) m.

That owing to very unfortunate family matters that arose some twelve years ago in which under gross deception which was practiced on me by my wife Sarah Yoder I was persuaded to sign a certain deed by so doing I was greatly defamed and through that I have nothing to dispose of by this will except for my interest in the estate of my father Eli Yoder a resident of the State of Tennessee. 2cnd.
