Notes:

Not sure if she is really a daughter. Her husband is an executor of Anthony's
will, but haven't seen anything to directly say she was a Yoder.

From Schuylkill Co Historical Society:
Rachel Hoerner (OH1331) b 1/31/1821 d 4/8/1907 age 86y 2m 7d Dau of
Anthony Yoder & Sarah Howerter, wife of Daniel Hoerner - (Dan buried at Howerters)
(Daniel was an administrator of Anthony's will).

Ihave some doubts that she is really a Yoder for now.

OK, only a few days later, I stumble upon the marriage of Rachel
Joder and Daniel Hirner! 5/27/05!

Rachel married Daniel HOERNER 21 May 1844, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. Daniel was born 12 Oct 1818, PA; died 7 Feb 1893, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried Howerter's Church, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

I think she stayed single. Perhaps she is the Mary that is mentioned in
brother Harrison's will. (I think he's talking about the Mary that he raised that
married his nephew Joel Yoder. Harrison then lived with them).

Maybe Mary Yoder, 78, 10/1821, Oley Twp, 1900 census?

From Floyd's book:
Peter Yoder, son of Anthony, was born in 1827 and died May 16, 1868, in
Upper Mahanoy township, Northumberland county. He lived in the Mahantango Valley
for many years, and was a stonemason by occupation. He married Harriet Klock,
who after his death became the wife of Sebastian Zimmerman, Mr. and Mrs.
Zimmerman being now residents of Sunbury, this county. To Peter and Harriet
(Klock) Yoder were born these children: Mary F. died young; Lewis K. is
mentioned below; Emma married Joel Hepler, who is deceased; Julia married
(first) Benjamin Fertig and (second) John Singmeister; Christiana married
George Bennett; William H. died young; Peter is living at Scranton,
Pennsylvania.

also
Mr. Zimmerman's second marriage was to Mrs. Harriet (Klock) Yoder, born
Feb. 18, 1832, daughter of Jacob and Polly (Masser) Klock, and to this union
there are two children: Alice, born Feb.13, 1874, and Clara, born Dec. 13,
1875. By her first marriage, to Peter Yoder, son of Anthony Yoder, of
Schuylkill county and later of Northumberland county, Mrs. Zimmerman had six
children: Sarah (deceased), Lewis, Emma, Juliann, Christian and Peter.

Peter married Harriet KLOCK Abt 1853, Eldred Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. Harriet (daughter of Jacob KLOCK and Polly MASSER) was born 18 Feb 1832; died 11 Jun 1912, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried Eden Church, Rockefeller Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

sp - 1854 Joseph Wagner and Sarah

Harrison's will mentions his heir Felix Yoder and also a Mary Yoder. I had thought
that maybe Mary was Harrison's single sister. Probably, it's his nephew Joel
Yoder's wife (Mary Wetzel). Harrison was living with Joel in 1900. Maybe Joel
married the Mary Wetzel who was Harrison's house keeper in 1870/80?? After raising
her, she married his nephew and they took him in during his old age. Note that the
first two children of Joel are Hannah and Harrison.

Joel and Mary were married 30 Apr 1881 at Kimmel Church

(perhaps Mary Wetzel was related to Harrison's sister Sarah who married a Wetzel?)
(or the Mary age 4, listed in Iowa, d/o Reuben Wetzel and Matilda?)
(maybe a daughter of one of Hannah's sisters?)

There is no tombstone for Harrison. His plot isshown on the map in the church
and the location matches the county death record. There seemed to be enough
room on the plot for him and his wife Hannah, though no dates are shown.
Cause of Death: of paralysis
