HENRY YOST, JR. (1826-1913)
HENRY YOST, JR. (1826-1913):
The first mention of Henry Yost that I have found is in the 1850 Pennsylvania census for Lancaster. He is listed as living in the household of Barbara Brimmer. He is listed as age 23 and a laborer. Also listed in the same household is Reuben Yost, age 21 and a house painter (I don't know if or what the relationship between these 2 Yost men may have been yet). Both of them are listed as born in Pennsylvania.
In the family Bible of Henry Yost is listed that he married Barbara Caskey 14 November 1854 by G. Fred Krotel, the pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster, PA. Barbara Caskey is listed as the daughter of Barbara Brimmer.
In the 1860 census, Henry is listed as 30, living in East Lampeter Township (Lancaster County) and being a laborer. His wife Barbara is 29, Anna Elizabeth (my gr-gr-gr grandmother) was 4, Benjamin was 3, and Emma was 1.
In the June 1863 Pennsylvania Civil War Draft Registration (pg. 284) he is listed as living in Lampeter, age 37, and a laborer. Unlike some men on the same page, he did not claim exception or supply a substitute. I do not know if he actually was called to fight (yet).
Per the family Bible, Henry's wife Barbara died 13 September 1870. My note: this is 10 days after the birth of their youngest child (Catherine b. 3 Sept. 1870)
Per the family Bible, Henry married for the second time to Matilda Mary (Maria) Miller of West Lampeter Township on 10 October 1878 by C. Elvins Houpt, the asst. pastor of Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity in Lancaster. Witnesses were Christiana Kendig and Mary J. Powell.
In the 1890 Lancaster Directory, Henry is listed as living in Lampeter and being a laborer.
In the 1896 Lancaster Directory (pg. 528), Henry is listed as being a laborer living in Lampeter.
In the 1898 Lancaster Directory, Henry is listed as a farmer living in Lampeter.

I have both the obituary & death certificate for Henry. Have seen daughter Amanda's death certificate & can say my gr gr grandfather, John Fagan Arment was the informant for both death certificates. Amanda died in 1918. John eventually in 1929, aged 80.
