Dr. Daniel Yoder pursued his education in Northampton, and afterward continued his studies at Bethlehem and in Vandeveer's Academy in Easton, then one of the leading educational institutions of this part of the state. After completing his own literary education, he engaged in teaching school for a time, having charge of the Levan school. In '855 he took up the study of medicine under Dr. Walter F. Martin, of Weaversville, Pennsylvania, and the following year was enrolled as a student in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. Later he continued his studies in the Pennsylvania Medical College at Philadelphia, where he won the Doctor of Medicine degree upon his graduation with the class of 1855. Not long afterward, Dr. Yoder opened an office in Catasauqua, where he has since been located in the practice of his profession, a liberal patronage being accorded him. He belongs to the American Institute of Homeopathy, the Homeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania, and the Lehigh Valley Homeopathy Medical Society, and was president of the last named organization for three years.

In 1873 he built his own comfortable residence at the corner of Third and Bridge streets. He holds membership relations with fraternal and professional organizations.
