WILLIAMSBURG WAIFS.

  At 5.20 o'clock p.m., September 21, Mrs. Mary A. Snively died at her 
home.  A few days previous to her death she had an attack of cholera 
morbus which caused weakness of the heart.  This caused her death.  
Mrs. Snively was a daughter of George W. and Nancy Sorrick, and was 
born near Hileman's mill on Clover Creek, April 29, 1847.  She was 
married to Daniel Snively, who survives her, January 5, 1871.  She was 
the mother of four children, all living, Orville C. and Austin C., of 
Altoona; Herman I. and Lullu at home.  There are also two sisters and 
two brothers to mourn their loss, Mrs. Sarah J. Richardson, of Altoona; 
Alice F. Rhule, I. C. Sorrick and A. C. Sorrick, of Clover Creek.  
Early in life she joined the Clover Creek Lutheran church of which body 
she has been a consistent member during her life.  She was the first of 
her family to die and also the first of her brothers and sisters.  By 
her death two kindred ties have been broken.  She was interred in 
Snively cemetery.
