May 7, 1896.--OBITUARY.--It is with heart-felt sorrow that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Matilda Snodgrass, which occurred Sunday morning the 3rd inst., from complication of diseases. Matilda Smith was born in Barthlomew county, Ind., January 24, 1835, and was married to N. E. Snodgrass March 27, 1856. From this union seven children were born, four of which are living. Mrs. Snodgrass united with the Christian church in 1857 and we trust lived according to the teaching of the sciptures, for the death of a christian is gain. After a funeral sermon preached by Rev. Uptegrove, the remains were laid to rest in the Grand View cemetery, near Knox. "Oh the sickel is death's emblem And the flowers on it rest! Emblem of the end of mortals, Earth to earth,and dust to dust."
