Yoder who resides near this city, had died in an army camp of pneumonia. This is the first Apache boy that has died in the service of Uncle Sam.

The Review extends its sympathy to the bereaved parents and relatives in their hour of sadness and sorrow. Apache, Oklahoma October 25, 1918 December 26, 1894 ~ October 16, 1918 Samuel Yoder's Funeral Held Wednesday Samuel Yoder, son of Mr and Mrs E. E. Yoder, who reside near Alden west of this city, died at Camp Hancock, Augusta GA, in the base hospital there Wednesday, October 16, 1918, after a brief illness of pneumonia. The deceased was born at Stuggrat, Ark, on December 26, 1894, being 23 years, 9 months and 20 days old at the time of death. He was converted and affiliated himself with the Bellview Baptist Church in August, 1917, and has lived a consistent Christian life since. He had done much good in his home community where he lived, and was a good example among his associates. The deceased was the first Apache boy in the service of his country to lose his life, and his death was as much a supreme sacrafice as those gallant boys who are falling daily on the Western front. He leaves to mourn his death, a wife, father and mother, eight brothers, Orville and Roy who are at home, Harvey who rrsides west of this city, Chas. Yoder of this place, Willis of Louisiana, Grover of Nebraska, Earnest who is now with the American E. F. in France, Ralph of Wichita Falls, Texas, who was here to attend the funeral, and two sisters, Mrs John Perschbacher and Mrs Floyd Ames who also reside near this city. The body was shipped here for burial arriving Tuesday at 11:00 o'clock accompanied by one of Uncle Sam's boys who was detached to escort the remains to its destination, he having been in the service since July 24th, 1918, and the funeral service was held Wednesday at the Alden Cemetery where interment was made, conducted by Rev G. A. Gbhart, pastor of the Methodist Church of this city. Plans had been made for a touching patriotic funeral service, but due to the very inclement weather, same had to be dispensed with for the time being, and the service was very brief. A memorial service will probably he held at a later date, when all the patriotic organizations will participate. The Review joins the many friends of the bereaved relatives in extending heartfelt sympathies to them. |
© Carnegie Herald Carnegie, Oklahoma Wednesday, May 6, 1920 April 6, 1897 ~ April 26, 1920 Roy Yoder was buried Thursday afternoon, the body being shipped here from Fort Supply. Rev. Hawkins preached a splendid sermon to a large crowd. The floral offering were very pretty. Mr. Yoder's family have the sympathy of the entire community, as this was the second one of his boys whose bodies have been shipped home, as Sam died in training camp something over a year ago, and a daughter, Mrs. John Perschbarger, died when the flu was so bad in 1919. May God give Mr. and Mrs. Yoder grace and strength for these sad trials. |
