DAVID SNYDER

  One of the oldest resident of Tyrone, died yesterday morning at 4:50 
o'clock of diseases incident to old age, having been confined to his 
bed for more than a year.  He was born at Bald Eagle on Oct. 28, 1837.  
He moved to Tyrone when a mere child with his parents and grew up with 
the town, following the occupation of a blacksmith.  He was a member of 
the Columbia Avenue Methodist church and a charter member of Sinking 
Spring lodge No. 127, Knights of Pythias.  On July 7, 1859, he and Miss 
Anna M. Williams were united in marriage.  To this union were born ten 
children, six of whom survive:  William C., Samuel F., Thomas E., 
Harry, Charles B. and Mrs. Minnie Peary, all of Tyrone.  Mrs. Snyder 
preceded him to the grave on May 12, 1883.  Mr. Snyder was the last of 
his family, but he leaves behind the six children, thirty-two 
grandchildren and thirty-nine great-grandchildren.  Funeral services 
will be conducted at the home on West Nineteenth street on Friday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock, by Rev. J. E. Beard, pastor of the Columbia 
Avenue church.  Interment in Grandview cemetery.
