CEMETERY RESTORATIONS<br />
Bishop Christian <strong>Yoder</strong> ,Ir (1790-1846): As people move<br />
@-fe1ve ancestors resting<br />
behind, cemeterys, particularly rural ones, fall into<br />
decay. In YNL #4 (page 3) we were.oleased to announce<br />
a restoration effort for the Bishop Christian <strong>Yoder</strong><br />
Jr. cemetery in Somerset Ccunly. We are happy to give<br />
the stat.us of this effort. Money raised through the<br />
efforts of Tom and Chdrles <strong>Yoder</strong> of Coraopolis,PA<br />
(which inclurfed contributions from anong our readers)<br />
paid for the stone shown in the accompanying<br />
photogra,oh. The farmed-over plot has been leveled and<br />
readied for seeding and the next goal is a stone waII<br />
around the site. (Further contributions welconed:20<br />

TRAGIC INCIDENT<br />
One June the 10th 18J0 church services were at<br />
the home of Christian Sch6ttler's near Davidsvi1le<br />
PA in northern Sonerset County.<br />
A nice quiet morning to walk to church, as<br />
lhrisena 10, and Lizzie B were walking to church<br />
along. the quiet was shattered by a shot from a<br />
high-powered rnuzzle loader.<br />
The ball of the muzzle loader went right through<br />
Christina's head. She fel1 dead on the road. Lizzie<br />
ran to the Christian Schbttler home and reported<br />
the sad accident.<br />
A group of people hurried to the scene, not far<br />
fron the Schottler home where Christena lay in a<br />
pool of b1ood. She was carri_ed to the Schottler<br />
home where a very sad and solemn church servi-ce was<br />
held that day.<br />
Someone unknown had fired the shot whether on<br />
purpose or by accide.nt is not known.<br />
