Snyder, Frank - 1895

While we were champion or nearly so at the last registry, we will not be able to make that claim the next time, as there have been five deaths in this small township of late.

The first was the wife of Wm. Ginkel of Snyderburg.  She was sickly for a long time, well respected by her neighbors, but her death was sudden and unexpected.  Mr. Ginkel is a hard worker and industrious.  She leaves a husband and four children.

The second is Wm. Moore, near Snydersburg.  His family are all grown up.  He is well known and highly respected citizen and was sick over two years.

The third was Jacob Neuland, a good neighbor and good citizen and was noted for his cleverness.  He was about 43 years of age.

The fourth was Frank Snyder, a whole souled, good natured and hard working fellow of about 40 years, died of consumption and leaves a wife and four small children.

The fifth is Mrs. Benedick Landerer, a highly respected and well known lady.  She was well up in 70 years, of strong constitution and was always ready to do a good turn to her many friends and neighbors, whenever called on.

Thus passes away five of as good citizens as we had in the township and their worth was shown by the large attendance at the funerals.  (Knox Township Correspondence)

Frank Snyder died at his home in this township on Sunday, January 17, 1895 from lung trouble superinduced by an attack of the grip last winter.  Mr. Snyder was 42 years of age and industrious peaceable citizen, a good neighbor and a kind friend, and a man who was highly esteemed by all who knew him.  He leaves a widow and four children who have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends to their bereavement.  The funeral, which occurred at St. Michael’s Cemetery, Fryburg, on Wednesday, January 30, was the largest that has ever taken place in this neighborhood.
