SNYDER - ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN DEPARTED - We are sorry to announce the 
sudden death, on Sunday last, of Mr. Jacob Snyder, Druggist. He went to 
the Presbyterian Church, and before the services were over, he felt 
unwell, when his son accompanied him home, but only a few doors from 
his house, he fell, and in a few minutes after being carried to his 
house, he breathed his last. He was aged 66 years. A couple years ago, 
Mr. Snyder had a stroke of apoplexy, which somewhat enfeebled an 
otherwise vigorous constitution, and it is supposed that his death was 
caused by the same complaint. Mr. Snyder was born in Germany, and came 
to this country, we believe, when a boy. He was a resident of this 
place, for the last forty years, nearly all of which time he was 
engaged in the drug business. He loved his adopted country, and took a 
deep interest in all our national affairs. As a citizen of 
Hollidaysburg, he was always in favor of improvements, public schools, 
and everything that would advance our interests.
  He was a deep reader, and for many years a consistent member of the 
Presbyterian Church. A good man, a good citizen, has left us. We 
sympathize with the bereaved family.  Peace to his memory.
