WILLIAM L. SNYDER.

  At half-past 2 o'clock yesterday morning William L. Snyder died at 
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. William Burket, No. 820 Chestnut 
avenue, aged 78 years, 2 months and 25 days.  Mr. Snyder had been a 
sufferer from paralysis and Monday last he was compelled to take his 
bed.  A former resident of Martinsburg, Mr. Snyder made his home with 
his son, James D. Snyder, in Ebensburg, until recently, when he came to 
Altoona.  Eight children survive him - Mrs. Keziah Shoemaker, of 
Leavenworth, Kansas; Mrs. J. G. Herbst, Mrs. S. B. Lysinger and Alice, 
wife of William Burket, of Altoona; R. P. and T. C. Snyder, of 
Leavenworth, Kansas; James D. Snyder, a conductor on the Ebensburg 
branch road and a resident of Ebensburg, and William L. Snyder, of 
Roaring Spring.  Deceased was a member of the Church of God, a man of 
most kindly disposition, an unobtrusive, law-abiding citizen.  Funeral 
services will be held at the house at half-past 7 o'clock this evening, 
and to-morrow morning the body will be taken on the 8.15 train to 
Martinsburg for interment.
