West Alabama Breeze, Northport, Alabama, July 6, 1019
After an illness of several months, Mrs. Elmina Snyder died at the home of her 
daughter Friday morning at four o'clock.  Surrounded by loved ones, who had 
done what they could for her comfort and recovery, the dissolution came and 
the body returned to the dust and her spirit to God.

Mrs. Snyder lived the promised three score and ten years.  Her long life was 
one of usefulness.

Her maiden name was Miss Elmina Reece and she was a daughter of the lamented 
Henry Reece, who was a very prominent citizen of Reece's beat and a fine good 
man.

She was a member of the Mt. Paran Baptist Church and was a very pious 
christian.

While a young woman, she was married to Mr. Wright Snyder.  She and this good 
man lived long and happily together, he preceding her to the grave by several 
years.  Mrs. Snyder was lovingly and dutifully devoted to her family and a 
faithful good woman in all the relations of life.  She leaves eight children 
to mourn her loss, all of whom now rise up and call her blessed.  These 
bereaved children are:  Mesers Henry, John, William, Thomas, David and Joseph, 
and Mrs. Will Hassell and Mrs. Robert E. Hobson.  Very many friends 
smyphathize with these in their great sorrow.

Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. J.T. Bealle 
and the remains were interred at the Center graveyard near her old home in 
beat six.



Additional Comments:
Her husband's name was John R. Snyder; however, everyone called him Wright.  
Her father and mother were Henry P. and Elizabeth H. White Reece.  Elmina was 
born in Echola, Northport, Alabama.
