  • Notes 
    • Died at Saskatoon

      Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Snider received a telegram from Saskatoon a week ago with the sad news of the death of their son Aden. Aden was one of the respected young people of this community, but left a few years ago for Guernsey, Sask, later studying for civil engineer. He left his boarding place for the university but was later found unconscious below a 60 foot cement bridge. He was taken to the hospital, but died soon after. The remains were brought home on Thursday by his brother Seranus. The funeral took place on Saturday at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. J. Snider, and then to the Mennonite cemetery for burial. The deceased was 24 years of age. The bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of the community.
