WILLIAM SNACK.

  Yesterday at 1 o'clock p.m. Mr. William Snack died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. M. J. Wilson, on Cambria street, Bellwood, of diseases incident 
to old age.  He was born in Hagerstown, Md., April 22, 1822, hence was almost 
76 years old.  Almost all his life had been spent in Huntingdon county, where 
he was well known.  He was one of a large family, of whom only one brother and 
one sister remain.  He had been in feeble health for some time and about a year 
and a half ago came to his daughter's home, where he remained until his death.  
His end was peaceful.  For some time he had realized that medical skill and 
tender care were in vain, and though circumstances deprived him of the 
fellowship of the church militant, he patiently waited the summons to join the 
church triumphant; and while his stalwart frame was slowly wasting and in the 
midst of intense suffering, he rejoiced in the Christian's hope.  Two daughters 
(besides his sorrowing wife) survive: Mrs. J. J. Wiley, at whose home he died, 
and Mrs. W. H. Baird, of Lewistown.  The funeral services will be held at the 
home of his daughter tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Interment in Logan 
Valley cemetery.
