    3. Where am I located? I'm living near the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in Ogden, Utah, where I moved 10 years ago from Maryland. I'm a native of Loogootee, Indiana. Incidentally, I am Deaf, and I know there are many deaf Yoders out there.... I'm researching my g-g-grandfather, Jacob Yoder who married 1) Nancy M. Yount on 14 Feb 1872 2) Barbara Keller 6 Sept 1884 (both in Daviess Co, IN), and had the following children: Grover C. Yoder and Mary AngelineYoder Mattingly of Martin Co, IN; and Effie Yoder Guess, last known in Illinois. My maternal g-grandmother, Mary Angeline Yoder b. 16 July 1875 d. 6 april 1952 in Daviess Co, IN, buried St. John's Cemetery, Loogootee, Martin Co, IN. On 23 Nov 1890 at the age of 15, she was married to 50 yr old John Hilary Mattingly b.@1840, d. 3 June 1909, Daviess Co, IN, buried, St. Peter's Cemetery, Mongomery Co, IN (no stone). Later married St. Michael's Catholic Church, DAviess Co, IN 13 June 1892. John Hilary was the son of Sylvester Mattingly and Mary Ellen Smith. (John Hilary married first to Elizabeth Bellwood). Children of John and Mary Angeline: Minnie Agnes b. 1891 m. Clyde A. Taylor; Charles Joseph b 1894 m. Maude Fenters; William Stanslaus b. 1897 m. Dorothy?; Bridget Nancy, b. 11 Aug 1899 Daviess Co, IN, D 4 Dec 1970 DuBois Co, IN, buried St. John's Cemetery, Loogootee, Martin Co, IN; married Harry Joseph Bowling 2 Dec 1919 (he is still living!) Bridget (Bea) and Harry had 6 children, including my mother, Dorothy Agnes Bowling Hortie b. 13 Nov 1932. Daviess County Marriage records show that Jacob m. Nancy Yount; current Yoder records list her as Nancy Mount. But the death certificate of Mary Angeline Yoder states that her mother's name was Angeline Yount. Chris and Rachel brainstormed and came up with the possibility that my g- grandfather is a "missing" Yoder line: Jacob b @1852 Holmes Co, OH was the son of Jonathon S. Yoder (YR23385) res. 1850 in Holmes Co, OH and 1860 in LaGrange Co, IN and Mary Plank (PK4312) b. 19 Sept 1823 in Holmes Co, OH; d 2 July 1907 (I have a funeral card for her) Gypsun, Saline Co, KS at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Susan (Hans) Peterson. Jonathon S. Yoder is the son of Solomon Yoder b. 5 Mar 1793 in Somerset Co, PA and Elizabeth Gindlesperger b. @1795 Somerset Co, PA. Anyone out there on the same tracks as I am? Any errors, please, please tell me! Many thanks to 'our' wonderful and dedicated historians Chris Yoder and Rachel Kreider. Nice to meet you all! Shirley Platt
