Mennonite Colony Families

Jonas D. (1866-1952) and Ida (Weber) (1874-1955) Yoder

(These are the basic facts I have for this family, listed here to help guide the research process. As photos, family stories, and other data are submitted, I hope to develop a narrative.)

   The Yoders' obituaries indicate they were both members of the Mennonite Church. Their son Stanley married Ruth Kreider, daughter of Peter B. and Ida Snyder's daughter Maude and Jonas M. and Catherine Kreider's son Milo. 

Jonas' obituary - Gospel Herald -Vol. XLV, No. 28 - July 8, 1952 - page 686

Ida's obituary - Gospel Herald - Volume XLVIII , Number 15 - April 12, 1955 ­ page 358 or 359.
