Here’s a different twist about how the Borough of Yoe<\/a> got its name.
\nThe oft-told story goes like this:
\nMoses Snyder, a prominent resident of Snyderstown, as the cigar-manufacturing town was called, sought a post office in the 1880s, but another town in the state already claimed the name. Moses chose his late mother’s name “Yohe,” but dropped the “h” to not offend his father’s second wife.
\nRussell Horn Jr. contests that story… .<\/p>\n


\nWell, part of it.
\nHe has some embroidery from an ancestor, dated 1837, bearing the name “Catherine Yoe.”
\nThat would suggest that the shorter form of the name was around in the 1800s.
\nSo, perhaps this business of offending a former wife may not be true.
\nHorn’s phone call served as a reminder that his father, Russell Horn Sr., and his two founding partners, Clair and Lester Buchart, all hailed from Yoe and were hometown friends.
\nIndeed, Clair Buchart opened his architectural firm’s office in Yoe after World War II.
\nThese founders of the York-based international architectural and engineering firm Buchart-Horn\/Basco Associates are surely the most noteworthy natives of Yoe in the 20th and 21st centuries.<\/p>\n

\n– Artist William Wagner drew the West Market Street, York, building that housed Mad Anthony Wayne’s Revolutionary War headquarters, in 1830. In 1929, York Bank purchased the structurally unsound building, tore it down, and contracted with Buchart Associates to design a replica. The principals of design firm Buchart-Horn hailed from Yoe. (For a readable history of the firm, see Georg Sheets’ “Breaking Ground: The First Fifty Years of Excellence,” 1995.)
\n– Old Ma & Pa Railroad trestle<\/a> may again carry passengers \u2013 on bicycles \u2013 some day.
