Mrs. ANNA SNEDEKER, whose serious
illness was mentioned, died On the 9th
inst, at o'clock P NJ, and was buried
at Crabapple burying ground, on the af-
ternoon of the 10th. Rev. Z. J. Milford
spoke briefly at the dwelling of Mr..
Snedeker, and the beautiful hymn, COM
mencing "Sister thou was mild and
lovely" was sung with sad emotion, by
the ladies present. Mr.. j. Walker con-
signed the body to the tomb, and neat
and tasteful burial casket was provided.
The deceased was the loving wife of Mr.
VIM. r. Snedeker, and for 43 years they
had had shared the joys, and divided the
sorrows of life. She was aged about IS
years, and during life she lived in the
enjoyment of the Christians hope. For
40 years she had professed the name of
Christ, and her daily walk was consis-
tent with that profession. She was uni
versally respected, and her many deeds
of kindness will live in kind remein-
brance. The writer can testify to many
kindnesses received at her hands. and
her friendships were true and faithful.
Her thoughtfulness in time. of sickness
and sorrow was remarkable, and she
would always deny herself to add to the
pleasure of others. A loving wife, a
fond parent, true friend has gone, we
trust, to the beautiful home i'll heaven.
''Gather the roses and garland the lilies,
Let your sad tears in sympathy blend,
Shrive with all beautiful blooms of the valleys
One who has never deserted friend"
