loved by all who knew him and his death has
cast gloom over the whole community, and
many tear was shed when his death was
known, but God, who is too wise to err and too
man, has through the dispensation of his prov
idence thought it best to remove him from our
midst. Mr.. Snyder was born in Oakland county
and removed with his parents to Shiawassee
county when quite young. Dec. 18th, 1879, he
was united in marriage to Miss Eugene NJ
Cramer. Two children, Emery d. and George
H., were born to them, who with the mother
still survive him. The Wednesday preceding
his death, while in the field at work. he was
attacked with paralysis, but succeeded in reach
ing the barn and calling his wife told her that
he must die. After bidding her and the little
boys an affectionate goodbye, he never spoke
again. Mr.. Snyder was an affectionate husband
and father, an obllging neighbor and an earnest
Christian. He was a member of the M. p |
church and also of the Y. p. S. G. E. and his |
seat in the house of God was seldom found |
vacant. He was member of the K o. T. M OF
Ovid who with large number of mourning
relatives and friends filled the church to over.
flowing to show this last tribute of respect to |
his memory and followed him to the Oak Grove
cemetery and tenderly laid him to rest feeling |
that another hero has fallen, another life has
ended and the vacant place in the sadened home
can never be filed.
