    • Snyder - Clarence Wilfred, son of the late John and Lucinda (Cressman) Synder, passed away at the Freeport Sanitarium after an illness of fifteen months. He was born near New Hamburg, Ont., Aug. 19, 1902, and died May 9, 1938; aged 35 y. 8 m. 20 d. He was a resident of Kitchener, Ont., for the past thirty years. He is survived by his sorrowing wife, 1 daughter and 3 sons (Mary Elizabeth, David, George, and Griffith), all at home; also his aged mother, 2 brothers and 3 sisters (Mrs. Edwin Gabel of Kitchener, Mrs. Abram Gingerich of Bridgeport, Mrs. Walter Hofstetter of Plattsville, Zenas of New Hamburg and Oscar of Manitoba). His father predeceased him him in 1922. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church. His unassuming, quiet disposition, and constant interest in the deeper things of life, will not be forgotten by his friends. The funeral and burial was conducted at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, in charge of Bro. C.F. Derstine and Noah Hunsberger. Theme, "The Widows and Fatherless." Text, Jer. 49: 11.
