■sudden Death of ■ pr. R. A. Yoder. ■Founder and First President ol I Lenoir College Dies io I Liocolnton.

Dr. R ■ A Yoder, of Lincolnton, had B Jed at his work in the garden I !Irlv that morning. Quickly tht ■ news spread over.the entire city ■ Lout to the remostest quar I ters of the county, for Dr. Yoder ■ Jrac belowd by as wide a circh lof admirers as any marl in thi; 9 section of the state. 9 Not only was he one of rh( I foremost preachers in the Luth ■ eran church, ami for twenty! ■ years the most influential mem I ber in the Tennessee Synod, but M j, e has be n so closely identified I with the ea catioral nt-re ts ol ■ thiss ction since ISBO that his* ■ influence cannot be computed. ■ge was the leading spirit in ■ bringing Lenoir College to Hick- I ory. but served that institution las President for ten years of its I first history in its present loca- I Pr. Yoder was born and raised lin the neighbor/>cxd of Daniel's I cliurch. Lincoln county some I sixty years ago. Endowed with 1 a strong intellect, he early ex ■ pressed the desire to become a I minister. Being without funds I with which to obtain a collegf I training, the in I terested and ventured the task |of sending him to school. This I being a new departure in church I rork for this Synod, he found it I necessary to migrate at the end lof his sophomore year to Illinois Ito teach and pursue his studies in the University of Illinois. However, the church took new courage and brought him back and graduated him from the North Carolina College at Mt. Pleasant some thirty-five years; ago. On graduating he came back, to his native section and- sought work as a school teacher. His first place of seeking was made in Hickory, but finding no en couragement here to open a church school, he fell in at Con over with Revs. J. M. Smith and P. C. Henkel. He opened, as principal, the school which after wards grew into Concordia Col lege and served the school in this capacity until the opening of Lenoir College in 1891 in Hick ory. He cast his lot with the riickory school and shaped its j destiny until 1901, when he re signed the Presidency to go fully into pastoral work, and has spent the greater portion of these ten years in the Lincolnton pastor ate. Dr. Yoder was not only a strong and interesting preacher hut his name was high as a theologian of his church, Pos sessed of a clear and analytic mind, he was by all natural en dowments a leader of men, guid ing for many years the way of his Synod and church. Truly a leader has fallen, and many a heart will sorrow in his deatn. Kewisno narrow theological man, bit had wide capabilities for serving the world. His long years in the school room fitted him to serve in many other fields than that of theology. A number of terms he served Cuawba county as Superinten dent of Public Instruction, and lent a helping hand to solve many vexed political problems. He has published a most ex , cellent map of Catawba county, and issued many smaller tracts and treatises on various subjects of merit and worth. His Synod had authorized him to prepare a centennial history of the Tennes see Synod, and he had consider able of the work done. Though born in Lincoln county and buried at Oaniel's church, | the greater part of his life was scent in Catawba county, ten of his most aciive years being spent in Hickory.
