I visited this small graveyard and took photos and videos July 4th weekend while I was in the area for a Yoder reunion (of Jonathan [YR234491] & Lydia (Custer) Yoder). My dad and I had to piece together some of the stones. There are several YODERs here as well. Here is a listing of all of the tombstones that I could read (note: I've added birthdates here for reference; the newer stones usually listed specific death date as well as age yymmdd format. The numbers in brackets are reference numbers for the A&AMG book): David Yoder 11/5/1811-2/20/1905 [YR235a] and his wife Sarah Eash 11/18/1821 - 4/2/1902 [ES123] Jacob Yoder 4/24/1861-11/1/1883 [YR235a8] and his wife Mary Orris 2/28/1858-2/25/1881 Barbara Yoder - stone missing lower part where date would be [perhaps could be YR235a4] Anna Eash 11/10/1843-1/3/1884 [ES4d3] wife of Samuel Rose Other stones have the following inscriptions (I have not yet identified these - any help would be appreciated): CE 1889 IE 1850 (this is the stone believed to be the Bishop Jacob Eash's (yes it is IE not JE) BY 1889 MY 1881 DY 1860 SE 1880 SH 1888 JY SY ML 1898 If anyone would like copies of photos or video drop me a note. I would also like to hear from any Eash/Ashe/Esch/Esh/etc researchers out there who might be interested in working on or receiving an EASH newsletter.
