Obituary.
Catharine Snyder.
On Sunday, August 28th, the mortal remains of Mrs. Catharine (Wolf) Snyder were borne to their last resting place at Bethany Reformed Church, Ephrata, of which she was for many years a consistent and active member.
She was afflicted with an affection of the heart for a number of years, and conscious of it as well as of its sudden and fatal termination, she expected that her earthly career would sooner or later end rather suddenly. A kind Providence, however, determined otherwise.
A fever overtook her and ended her life in eight short days. She realized her condition and prepared for it, which could not be otherwise consequent to such a life of earnestness and sincerity in the cause of Christ and His church.
That she was beloved and respected by all who knew her, could be readily seen in the immense concourse of people who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they knew well for many years.
The spacious church edifice was crowded to its utmost capacity and it was with some effort that all could find room. She attained the age of 58 years, 2 months, and 25 days.
