Brother Snider united with the Mennonite Church at Waterloo, Ont., in 1908, in which communion he spent his Christian life. Before he passed away he often expressed his desire to go home to be with his Savior. The funeral services were held on Thursday, June 19, from his late home and the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ont. The brethren in charge of the services were S. G. Shetler and Oscar Burkholder. Text, Acts 2: 12.
