CHILD DEAD; ANOTHER LOST
Infant Daughter of Snyder Family Dies - Other Daughter Missing.

  Ruth Anna Snyder, the 9-month-old daughter of Garfield and Eva 
Harrington Snyder of 1304 Bridge street, died at the parental home this 
morning at 4:25 o'clock of cholera infantum, bringing double trouble 
for the Snyder family, who have had a child lost since last Sunday.
  The infant child was born on March 22, 1918, and had been sick for 
only a short time.  Besides the parents, one brother, Buster, and two 
sisters, Maxine and Betty, survive.  Funeral services will be held 
tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, with interment in Fairview 
cemetery.
  The child that is missing, Betty, is a 4-year-old child with golden 
hair and she has not been seen since Sunday afternoon, when she was 
said to have left the home with 9-year-old Louise Oswald, daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. William Oswald of East Altoona.  Neither of the children 
can be located and it is understood that the Oswald child had $5 with 
her when she left her home.  Any information of their whereabouts would 
be appreciated by the anxious parents.
