General Notes: Husband - Eli Yoder

---

He commenced wagoning in 1828. With his father's team he hauled goods and merchandise from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for one year. At the end of this time he purchased the team from his father, and shortly afterward became owner of a second, also a third team. These were large covered wagons, and each one was hauled by six horses. In 1835 he sold his teams, and, working in the shops at Gaysport until he understood taking care of machinery, he was placed on the Allegheny Portage railroad as engineer. He held this position until 1853, and then entered, as machinist, the Altoona shops, where he was soon after appointed engine-inspector, a position he held for a long time.
He was a member of the Lutheran Church and of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
