    Surnames: Taggart, Snare
 
  Martha Ann Snare, daughter of Joseph and Mary Beard Snare, was born in 
  Stark County, Illinois, September 19, 1853, the third child of a group of two
  sons and two daughters, all of whom preceeded her in death. She departed this 
  life January 16, 1938 at the age of 84 years, three months and 28 days.
  At the age of 14 years she moved with her parents overland by covered wagon 
  to Holden, in Johnson County, Missouri, where her early girlhood was spent
  and where she grew to young womanhood.
  She was married to Winfield Scott Taggart, January 28, 1874, who preceeded 
  her in death, November 29, 1936. To this union were born three sons and
  two daughters: Charles J. Taggart, Calvin Taggart, John L. Taggart, 
  Mrs. J.C. Alexander all of Boise City, Oklahoma. A younger daughter died in early
  girlhood.
  In 1920 she, with her husband moved to Cimarron County to be near their children.
  She leaves her four children, twelve grandchildren and six great grandsons 
  and numerous other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her departure.
  In early life she was converted and joined the Methodist Protestant church in 
  Chilhowee, Missouri, and later joined with her husband and children the
  Presbyterian church of Denton, Missouri, her former home before moving here, 
  where she still held her membership until the time of her death.
  She was a kind, affectionate, self-sacrificing wife and mother and was most 
  happy when always doing for others. She enjoyed religious services and
  attended church when able to do so. Her frail health was a handicap, but amidst 
  it all, was able to rise above it and think of others. She bore with great
  patience and fortitude her intense suffering in her sickness.
  She reared her children in the service of the Lord. Among her last words was 
  to bid her family each individually good-bye and not to grieve for her passing,
  telling them, "God would keep them 'till they all meet again."
  Her passing leaves a sadness in the homes of her children and her circle of 
  relatives and friends.
  Services were conducted by Rev. J. S. Johnson, pastor of the Union Chapel M.E. 
  Church, assisted by the Rev. Garcel Brenn, pastor of the Keyes M.E.
  Church, with the Wilder Funeral home in charge.

  Call not back the dear departed,
  Anchored safe where storms are o'er,
  On the border land we left her,
  Soon to meet and part no more.
  Far beyond this world of change,
  Far beyond this world of care,
  We shall find our missing loved one,
  In our Father's mansion fair.
