On Nov. 8, 1925, he was united in marriage with Anna E. Yoder of West Liberty, Ohio. Together they established their home on the old farm, and reared their family there.
He is survived by his wife, Anna, by three daughters (Opal, of Columbus, Ohio; and Shirley and Carolyn, of West Liberty, Ohio); and by one brother, John Ray Yoder, also of West Liberty; and a host of relatives and friends. One brother, Jacob G. Yoder; a sister Lena (Mrs. David Sloneker, and his parents preceded him in death.
