Obituary..


Died, February S, 1882, near Troy, Kansas, of
pneumonia, Mrs. Daniel Snyder, aged 50 years, 2
months, and % days. The deceased, for the past
year. had been in feeble health from general debility
but especial fears entertained by her friends
or family, until week before her death. The
ongcontinred and ilness of her sister, Mrs
Dickey at Mr.. McCrum's, had often nerved her to
brave inclement weather. during the past six months
in her frequent hisits to the loved ones bedside.
But alas that dreaded and fatal pneumonia in con-
situations impaired has done its speedy work.
"Life, indeed is a brittle thread and how rudely
severed have been kindred and social tics, in the
death of this devoted wife. best Of mothers and
cial, Christian woman. Death although "a mon
ster of frightful men," cast grim shadows
her pathway down the rugged declivity of life, for
her oft repeated prayer was, Nearer, my God, to
Thee" and now she has passed to that shining
shore" where. to meet her, must follow her
ample in social relations in life, untiring efforts
to relieve the wants and sufeungs of others, and
exemplary Christian conduct, that DEATH like
hers, may be like lying down in peaceful, quiet
slumber.
The funeral services of the deceased held the
following day, Mt the family residence, conducted by
Rev. A. Thompson, and the remains inferred
in the Troy Cemetery, escorted thither by of the
largest professions witnessed il. this County.
