Katherine (Yoder) Miller was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, Aug. 30, 1855; died near Kalona, Iowa, Jan. 7, 1928; aged 72 y. 4 m. 8 d. She came with her parents and family to Iowa in 1869, and was married to D.F. Miller, Jan. 25, 1877 - in the house in which she lived the remainder of her life. To this union were born six children. The husband and two children (Frankie and Emma) preceded her in death. Two sons (Moses and Alva), and two daughters (Barbara and Ida, wife of Bro. D.J. Fisher), two brothers (Geo. Yoder and Henry Z. Yoder), together with twelve grandchildren and many relatives and friends remain to mourn the loss of a devoted and loving mother and sister and kind and sympathetic Christian neighbor and friend. Sister Miller accepted Christ as her personal Savior in her youth, united with the Mennonite Church, and was a faithful and consistent member of the East Union congregation until death. Never unnecessarily absent from public worship, her life brought cheer to many by her cheerful and friendly disposition, and willing helpfulness and patience even in the darkest times of sickness and death. Funeral Jan. 9, at the East Union Church by W.S. Guengerich, and Amos Gingerich in the English language and P.P. Swartzendruber in German. Interment in the family cemetery.
