(2) "Yeiser Newsletter," Issue 2, June 1998, p. 1. This issue of the Yeiser Newsletter is dedicated to Doris Yeiser, Yeisers and Allied Families Secretary. The dedicatory page written by her sister Jane Sheetz, notes her contributions to society in general and to her working career. "These characteristics were the things that helped her turn adversity into triumph and the ultimate defeat of the devastating cancer which plagued her most of those years." It is noted that Doris will be leaving Louisville, Kentucky on the 8 July 1998 for her new home in Colorado. On page 2, an article from the winter issue of "Update," a publication of the SBC Historical Commission is a tribute to Doris. It tells of her hopes of being a missionary. When that hope was not realized, Doris worked at Ken-Rad (later General Electric) on their first two-way communication tube in Owensboro, KY. Later after taking extension courses at Campbellsville College, she became church secretary for First Baptist Church, Owensboro. She was later accepted as the first secretary in the KBC's new Department of Missions and Evangilism, going on to become secretary for the convention's executive secretary-treasurer. In the following years, Doris has served as administrative assistant to three additional executive-secretaries. She held membership with and held offices in the Business and Profession Women's Club of St. Matthews, the Kentucky Federation of B and PW, the National Fedration of B& PW and the Council of Women Presidents in Louisville. She has served on the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Louisville and the Women's Chamber of Commerce of Kentucky. "Yeiser has also earned respect for the way she has battled cancer. In 1978, 1979, and 1980, she required surgery to combat the disease. Doctors told her she would not live more than six months. But Yeiser kept going." When she retire in 1988, Doris began setting up the convention's first archives. In May, 1989, Georgetown College presented Yeiser with the Doctor of Laws Degree and in October of that same year she was elected president of the National Conference of Women in Chambers of Commerce. Currently, she is the Kentucky trustee for the Historical Commission, Southern Baptist Convention." "Through it all, Yeiser has served Southern Baptists as a single woman. 'In those early years, I feared single life,' Yeiser recalls, 'but after the services at an evangelistic conference, I surrendered that fear, not publicly but to the Lord. I have not know fear since that time.' This excerpt is from an article written by William W. Marshall, executive secretary-treasurer of the Kentucky Baptist Convention.MEMORIUM-DEATH-BURIAL: Yeiser newsletter 25 Nov 2001; The Daviess County native retired from Kentucky Baptist Convention in Louisville after 45 years and had worked at Kenrad in Owensboro.
