At the age of sixteen years she was converted at the Evangelical church, under the labors of Rev.

Mrs. Snyder had been in poor health for some time, but now one was prepared for the sudden changes that brought sorrow into the home so quickly. Mrs. Snyder was united in marriage April 16, 1891, to Harry H. Snyder. To this union three children were born - Hazel, who preceded her mother in death Oct. 26, 1909; Inez and Howard, at home.

She was a devoted wife and loving mother, and was always ready to lend a helping hand, when or wherever it was needed, even to the sacrificing of her own good. While she will be so sadly missed, we bow in submission to the will of our Heavenly father who knoweth best and doeth all things well. After a short service in the home, the remains were taken to Grandview, where the funeral services were held at the M.E. church, conducted by Rev. Jesse Huddle, assisted by Rev. Madrigel.
