Obituary

On the 14th of June, 1896 near Garden City, Mo., Mrs. Salome Yoder, aged 68 years, 4 months, and 26 days. She was born in Mifflin Co., Pa., Jan. 18, 1831, was married in Ohio to Asa Kenagy, of Mifflin Co., Pa., Jan. 4, 1855. In Feb. 1867 her husband died. In Feb. 1870 she was married to C. P. Yoder and moved to Case Co., Mo., where she resided until her death. Her second husband died several years ago, after which grandma resided with her son-in-law and daughter, Pre. David Hooley and wife.

Grandma was a member of the Mennonite Church and lived a conscientious Christian life. She leaves two daughters and four sons and twenty-two grandchildren. Her affliction began January 1st and was severe, but she bore it all patiently. Funeral services were conducted by Levi Miller and C. S, Houder from 1 Cor. 15:53^[1]

Notes

Salome was listed in the 1870 census with the surname, "Yoder". The household included children with the surnames of Yoder, Kenagy as well as others (boarders?). Since Asa died in 1867 (age 42), Salome might have remarried by 1870. Her maiden name and her surname after a second marriage might become confused.^[2]
