SNIDER, wife of one of our oldest and most esteemed settlers, died last Sunday morning after a sickness of six months. She had suffered so much of late that her death may almost be called a relief to her. Mr. Snider lives seven miles northwest of here, but for the better treatment of the sufferer the family moved several months ago into Mr. Brown's house, just west of twon. A number of the ladies of this city and vicinity interested themselves in the patient and renedered all help and assistance possible until the very last moment. The funeral was largely attended although the weather on Monday was very unpleasant. Prof. Beeson preached an appropriate sermon, and gave comfort to the mourners. It is a sad bereavement for Mr. Snider to lose the wife who had been the partner of his joys and sorrows for twenty years, and the loss of the five children, who are now deprived of a kind true mother, is irreparable. The family has the sincere and heart-felt sympathy of every one in this part of the county. Lucinda Ellen PIERCE was born In Mercer county, Ohio, June 30, 1855; removed with her parents to Newton county, Missouri, in the spring of 1869, where she became acquainted and was married to William E. SNIDER, March 5, 1871. Mr. and Mrs. Snider continued to reside in Missouri till 1878 when they removed to St. Louis Crossing, Indiana, where they resided until the spring of 1885 when they removed to Sedgwick county, Kansas. In the fall of 1886 Mr. and Mrs. Snider united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Cheney, Sedgwick county, after a full and complete conversion. In the spring of '87 they removed to their farm 7 miles northwest of Liberal, where they continued to reside till sickness came upon Mrs. Snider in October last when, for convenience, she was removed to Mr. G.C. Brown's farm near Liberal, where her sickness terminated in death March 22, 1891 after an illness of six months; her age being 35 years, 8 months, 22 days. There were born to them 7 children, two of whom preceded Mrs. Snider to the grave. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss. All who were acquainted with Mrs. Snider found her to be an earnest and zealous christian and a true friend and mother; loving her church and church work, realizing the necessity of bringing up her family in the Sabbath school and in the full knowledge of the bible teachings. Mrs. Snider's christian experience continued to glow with a warm, fervid light and she died in a full and complete faith. Card of Thanks.
