Biography
Lydia was born in 1866. Lydia Yoder ... She passed away in 1940.[1]
Obituary
Lydia M., eldest daughter of Jacob and Sarah (Hartzler) Yoder, was born near Belleville, Pa., Dec. 15, 1866; died Oct. 22, 1940; aged 73 y. 10 m. 7 d.
On Jan. 7, 1885, she was married to Levi L., son of Pre. John Peachey. This union was blessed with 11 children, 4 of whom died in infancy and childhood.
She is survived by 2 brothers (Joshua and Jacob of near Belleville), 3 daughters (Annie, wife of John S. Kanagy, Dover, Del.; Salome, wife of Jacob H. Yoder and Veronica of Belleville), 3 sons (Shem, married to Saloma Bender of Springs, Pa.; Stephen, married to Ruth Schrag of Hay, Ont.; and Levi, married to Lizzie Mae Stayrook, of Belleville), 26 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, and 3 sisters-in-law. A sister, wife of Pre. Christ D. Peachey, died a few years ago. These five sisters-in-law married to five brothers, were all widows in the same locality, at the same time for a number of years.
She was baptized in the Amish Mennonite Church in her youth, and remained faithful to the end.
She was in failing health for over 3 years, being confined to her bed and almost helpless for over a year, affectionately and faithfully cared for by her youngest daughter, Veronica. She bore her affliction patiently, never complaining, greeting her friends with a cheerful smile, waiting for "A building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." She was weary and anxious to go. She loved the Word of God, was conscientious, training her children by precept and example, with admonitions unto righteousness. She lived a life of self-sacrifice and service to others, never allowing her hands to be indolently idle. We cherish her memory with gratitude to God for such a loving mother.
Funeral services were held from her late home, Oct. 24, 1940. Sermons by John Y. and John B. Peachey. Interment in Union Cemetery. [2]
