________________

Death came suddenly after two days' illness to Mrs. J. P. Snider on Wednesday, Feb. 16th at the K-W Hospital. Mrs. Snider was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Boal, and spent most of her life in this community, where she was a valued member of the church where she served as organist and Sunday School teacher, though unable to take an active part for some months had so far recovered her strength to resume her duties as organist the Sunday prior to her death, becoming ill the following day. Her home was always open to the young people in whose activities she was deeply interested.

Funeral services were held in the United Church on Saturday afternoon, when a host of mourning friends paid their last respects to one who will be sadly missed. The service was in charge of the pastor, Rev. Thompson, with Rev. Fosbuary assisting.

She leaves to mourn her husband and daughter Muriel (Mrs. Karl Wahl) of Waterloo and four sisters, Mrs. Florence Gordon, Ann, Verna and Evelyn Boal all of New Toronto, to these the community extends its sincere sympathy in their sudden bereavement.

It becomes our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of one of our well-known farmers, Mr. Frank Snider, who passed away on Sunday evening. About 24 years ago deceased had an accident, which partially disabled him, so that he could never walk very freely after that. Nearly two years before his death he suffered a paralytic stroke, and has been helpless ever since. Dropsy and heart failure was the immediate cause of his death. He leaves a sorrowing widow, a grown-up son and a large circle of other relatives. The remains were laid to rest in Snyder's cemetery, Bloomingdale, on Tuesday afternoon.

Woolwich Pioneer Dead.

One of the oldest settlers of West Montrose neighborhood died on Monday in the person of Jeremiah Letson. Both his and his wife's parents came to Canada from England and settled between West Montrose and Winterbourne, and here the subject of this sketch was born 72 years ago on the farm adjoining the one on which he died. After he grew up and was married, he settled down on a farm adjoining the old home, and lived on the place right up to his death. The farm is now owned by his son Rhodes. Having lived in the same neighborhood all his life he knew its history perfectly and in his later years loved to talk of the times and scenes of his youth. He was one of the sturdy pioneers that helped to turn the forest wilderness into fertile farms. Mr. and Mrs. Letson raised up a large family, six sons and three daughters with their mother being left to mourn the loss of a kind father and husband. The sons are: Andrew, David, Samuel, Rhodes, Fred and Byron, all well to do farmers living in the neighborhood of the old homestead. The daughters are: Mrs. Thomas Morrell, Elmira, Mrs. John Jupp and Mrs. Frank Snider, of West Montrose. Deceased was a plain, straightforward, honest man who enjoyed the respect of all who were acquainted with him. The funeral on Wednesday was attended by a large number of relatives and friends.
