(contrib. bv Rachel Kreider) LORENZO THONIAS YODER CANDY CRIMPER by Elcy D. Brooks I'm enclosing a copy of an ad for n candy crimperwhich was invented by my grandfather, Lorenzo Thomas Yoder. Today we call the confection made by the machirte "ribbon candy". Grandfather sold his candy is a store in Pittsburgh and mother remembered him distributing his wares by horse and buggy in smaller communities surrounding Pittsburgh. (irandfather had a sweet tooth and loved fresh coconut. Derby hats were also a passion, and he wore one whereever he went. ()n a particularly windy and rainy day, he had purchased a coconut which he carried in a bag in one hand, holding an umbrella in the other to protect his favorite hat. A gust ofwind threatened to remove his Derby, and throwing his hand up to catch it- forgetting the bag with the coconut- he knocked himself out at the corner of Smithfield and Fifth Avenues in Pittsburgh! Mother always said her father was a bit absent minded u.hen he was thinking about an invention, and I have often wondered if it was the candy crimper which precipitated the incident. By the way, Lorenzo T. Yoder was the younger brother of Major (lharles Theodore Yoder who was featured in YNL #18 (Oct.9l). His picture appears on page 4 of that issue, seated on the right. x***************************x******xxx****************** 8 ***************************************************** YODER NAME ITEMS WANTED!

lssue Number 28 YODER NEWSLETTER P.O. Box 594, Goshen,IN 46527 October 1996 Olev Yoders Host National Reunion & Tour New Alsatian Research Links American Yoders On July 20th, the Oley Yoders energetically hosted over 300 proud cousins from 25 different states. The day long "Hans and Yost Joder Heritage Trail Reunion" had as a theme "where it all started". Seven buses took the attendees to I I historical sites in the Pleasantville (Yodertown/Yoderville) area, Oley Valley, Berks Co., Pa. The feature tour event was the unveiling of a stone marker in the historic Pleasantville Union Cemetery, honoring the Swiss trrothers Johannes and Yost Jodder, who as early as l7l4 settled in the Oley Valley. The brothers and their families, first Yoders to come to America, are logically buried in the rear of the cemetery in unmarked graves. The cost of the memorial was raised by donations solicited during the unveiling ceremonies, plus revenues produced by sale of bus group photos during each cemetery visit. The Yoder reunion Association has dedicated all proceeds from the reunion tour toward the maintenance of the cemetery property. At the cemetery the attendees were given the opportunity to use devining rods and "douse" for unmarked graves. On previous visits, l7 burial sites were discovered using the dousing method, and these findings were a guide in placement of the marker. The cemetery contains the headstone of Daniel Yoder, youngest son of Hans the immigrant, which is the oldest (1747) known Yoder gravestone in America. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *.... :::::till :l.lii:,:. - -. House Of Yoder Annual Meeting Called The House of Yoder steering committee has announced their annual meeting to be held at Penn Alps, Grantsville, Maryland, Nov. 16, 1996. The meeting will open at 1030 am and close no later than 3 pm. There will be a business meeting, an election of officers, a "dutch treat" brrrnch, and a noteworthy guest speaker. .fohn Mark Slabaugh, a noted historian of Amish immigrant lines from Uniontown, OH will speak about the different lines of immigrants, of their origin, of missing generations, of Christian Yoder (YR2) and his son "Schweitzer Christian". John Mark has published two books on his paternal grandparents (both Yoders), numerous articles, and detailed work on early Amish homestead sites. The excavation of the Yoder House will begin after Labor day. To register for the annual meeting, write by Nov.l, 1996 to: Paul H. Yoder, 507 Hemlock Dr., Grantsville, Md. 21536. Local lodging includes: Holiday Inn (301) 895-5993 and Casselman (301) 895-5055. Thanks to the efforts of Robert Geiser of Apple Creek' Oh and his father, Roger Geiser, three research data bases compiled by French Genealogists the late Jean Huckel and his wife Renee are now available over the Internet at : "http://www.gendex.com: 1002/"-then go to the surname index. The Huckels extensively researched the Anabaptist families near the French and Swiss border. We at the YNL have for years had Alsatian Yoder data collected by the late Edith Joder and others. The Huckel data generally matches and adds to this and goes farther with establishing linkages between different identified families. An analysis of this data allows the YNL to connect a number of additional Alsatian Yoder lines to their origin points, and to identify previously unknown (to us) relationships bctween tJrese lines- The Huckels also trace two branches in Alsace back to their Swiss origins... which is likewise a revelation. Without seeing the basis for all their conclusions, we at the YNL have a few reservations about some of the earliest information' however, and will explain these reservations as we discuss the data. Tra nsutl u ntic co n nectio n s In YNL 4 (page 5) we reviewed the foreign born Yoders of the 1850 censuses in Ohio, Indiana and lllinois' This presents a fair starting point to reference against this article. You should also take some time to review the accompanying chart and to refer to it as you read through this discussion. In YNL 7 we delved into the Alsatian Amish Cemetery in Stark Co., OH and introduced Capt. Joseph Yoder (YAl) and a Christian who we soeculated might be his brother (YA7). The Alsatian data has firmlv identified the origin of "Capt. Joseph" AND identifies a known brother Christian of the exact age to be YA7. Christian Yoder (YA3) and his wife Marie Yoder, immigrants of 1828 were covered in YNL 5 (page l) along with identified parental connections. The Huckel data restates what we knew before and continues the links back several more generations. On page 2 of YNL 4 we refer to the Adams County, IN immigrant Jonathan Yoder (YA4) (b.s/ll/1795 Fr) and his wife Mary "Schmucker". Family records referio his wifJas having died "on the ocean" in 1841. "John" hasn't been found in the 1850 census, but is shown in the 1860 census with no wife, As we try to see where this Jonathan fits within the Alsatian datr, rve find a "Ienn", the onlv one born 1795, son of Joseph Yoder and Marie Stucky. lt is also identified that Jean married a Marie Conrad in 1822. The children of Jonathan were born beginning in 1823. Do the children match Not quite' but'... Only one child is listed for the Huckel records of French "Jean"' a son Christian b. 1830. The American John has known children born 1823' 1825, 1826 and l828...then there is a gap until a son Christian born 1838. Joseph, father of Jean, was in turn listed as the son of a "Hans Yoder and Vreni ZimmermAn". Jacob Yoder (YA8) found in Stark County with wife Barbara, cRn be matched to Jacques (Jacob) of Grandvilliers, husband of Barbara Liechty and son of Joseph Yoder and Marie Stucky (thus a brother the "Jean" compared against the Adams County Jonathan). There is no speculation here, however. Jacob has daughters Barbara' Mary Ann, and Feronica who match exactlv the children and their birth dates ofJacques in Hirtzbach, Fr. Another lirm link is to Joseph Yoder (YA5) who married Anna Klopfenstein, lnd who we've presented in an article on page I of YNL ,1. French records fullv match the birth and marriage of of this son of continued on page 6
