She leaves to mourn, her husband, 4 children, 4 grandchildren, 3 sisters, a brother, and many relatives and friends. She accepted her Lord as her personal Saviour in her early youth and remained faithful until the end. She bore a faithful testimony to her family, and to the community. As a mother in the home she will be greatly missed. She always had a friendly disposition and was very much interested in the welfare of her home, her family, the Church and all its activities. She especially exercised her talent in song. We trust that our loss is her eternal gain and that she has gone to occupy a beautiful mansion above which God has prepared for His own. Funeral services were held Dec. 30, at the home and at the Shantz Mennonite Church. Bros. Manasseh Hallman and L. H. Witmer officiated. Burial in the Shantz Cemetery.

Rest on, dear Mother, your labors are o'er,
Your willing hands will toil no more.
A faithful mother true and kind,
No friend on earth like you we'll find.

SNYDER. - Veronica Shantz was born Jan. 5, 1843. She was married to John K. Snyder March 26, 1861. To this union were born 11 children (Ephraim, Ervin, Barbara, Emmanuel, Annie, Mary Ann, David, Veronica, Dilman, Herman, and Olivia). Emmanuel and David predeceased her. She died at her home in Wilmot Tp., Waterloo Co., Ont., Nov. 22, 1935; aged 92 y. 10 m. 17 d. She leaves 9 children, 26 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, 3 brothers (David, Stauffer, and Herman Shantz), and a host of relatives and friends. She was one of the pioneers in the community in which she lived. They started their home in the woods, doubtless with many hardships, but as the years rolled by they were able to build up a nice comfortable home. In this same home she lived 74 years amid all the changes that come in life. Oct. 23, 1900, she was bereft of her husband and she lived a widow's life with her family for 35 years. She was a good mother, "a mother in Israel," always willing to do for others. She was wonderfully blessed with health and strength until the last few years of her life. Her thinking capacity, and finally her bodily strength began to fail, and for only two weeks she was confined to her bed-without sickness or pain, just faded away until she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." Funeral services were conducted at the home of Dilman Snyder on Nov. 26 by Bro. Orphen Wismer, and at the Shantz Church near Baden, Ont., by Bro. Jonas Snyder (Text, Prov. 22: 28) and Bro. Manasseh Hallman (Text, Jno. 17: 24), where a large number of people gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. She was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.

"Beautiful toiler, thy work all done,
Beautiful soul, into glory gone;
Beautiful life, with its crown now won,
God giveth thee rest.
Beautiful spirit, free from all stain,
Ours is the heartache, the sorrow and pain;
Thine is the glory, the infinite gain,
Thy slumber is sweet."
