• Notes

  Snider. - Grace Magdalena, beloved daughter of Nathaniel and Malinda Snider, was born August 19, 1907, at Preston, Ont.; died at the home of her parents at Strasburg, Ont., on May 12, 1926; aged 18 y. 9 m. 20 d. She had been ailing for about two years with nephritis, but her end came rather unexpectedly. She leaves her sorrowing parents, two sisters, four brothers, and a host of friends. One brother predeceased her 27 years ago in early childhood. Sister Grace united with the Mennonite Church at Strasburg nearly five years ago, and by her own testimony leaves the assurance that she was at peace with God and her fellowmen. She lived an exemplary Christian life. Her pleasant smile and cheerful attitude will always be cherished by all who knew her. Funeral services were held May 15, at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, by Jesse B. Martin and C. F. Derstine. "The lights are out In the mansion of clay, The curtains are drawn, for the dweller's away. She silently slipped O'er the threshold by night To make her abode In the city of light." Gospel Herald - Vol. XIX, No. 9 - May 27, 1926, pages 190, 191.
