Dear Carolyn, Here is what I have on your William Yoder. He was married in Lincoln County, NC 0n 12 Sept 1880 to Mattie Michael, daughter of Ambrose and Cynthia Finger Michael. His age was listed as 23. I think he may be the Wm. A. Yoder buried in the Salem Lutheran/Reformed Church Cemetery. He was born 14 Aug 1857 and died 9 Apr 1884. He is buried near several Michaels and Fingers. This cemetery is just south of the Catawba County line on the Startown-Lincolnton road. I find Jessie O. Yoder in the 1900 Oregon Census in Marion County, Breitenbush Pct., age 19, born NC, working in a sawmill. I did not find Robert or Mattie Correll or the other children in either the 1900 or 1910 census.
