Bixler, the first couple he ever married. They began housekeeping in Wakarusa the spring of 1907. This home was blessed with 3 children (Dale, Lowell, and Lois-Mrs. Ivan Weaver). For 51 years Sister Yoder served as the wife of her minister-husband, and 48 of these as the wife of a bishop. In this service she behaved herself with dignity and proper decorum, keeping all confidences faithfully. She worked in the sewing circle as long as health permitted. She was a gracious hostess, usually taking the evangelists of the Olive congregation into her home, as well as entertaining many friends from far and near. Her health began to decline the winter of 1950, when her husband was serving as acting pastor of the Calvary Church, Los Angeles, Calif. The next 8 years were a period of declining health which made her too weak to endure public meetings. One of her last public services was the Olive communion service the fall of 1957. Surviving are her husband, 3 children, 12 grandchildren, and one brother (Martin H., Wakarusa). We have the blessed assurance that she has gone to be with the Lord she loved and served. A service was held in the home Oct. 17 with the reading of Psalm 23 by Homer North, followed by prayer by Oscar Hostetler; services at the Olive Church in charge of Elno Steiner and C. A. Shank, reading Psalm 31: 1-5 and Psalm 121. S. C. Yoder brought the message based on John 14: 6. "Her life is written in the life of people."
