The Yoder Mennonite Church Cemetery is a small well cared for rural cemetery located in south central Kansas, Reno County, 1 mile north of Yoder, KS. It's on the southeast corner of the intersection between the S Yoder Rd and E Long View Rd, adjacent to the Journey Mennonite Church and surrounded by family farms and flat fertile cropland. Many Amish and Mennonite families live in the area.

History:
"The Yoder Mennonite Church was officially organized on Good Friday, April 18, 1919 with 60 charter members. A group had been meeting for Sunday School and worship in and around Yoder for about a year prior to that formal organization. The grounds for the church and cemetery were donated by Jake and Susan Yoder, Charter members. The original church building was dedicated on December 7, 1919 and the cemetery was laid out on April 12, 1920.

In 2006, the property was gifted to Journey Mennonite Church, who continues to use the facilities and maintain the cemetery. We are thankful for the legacy of faith left by those who have gone before us, and wish to honor their lives."
