    Notes:

    A SAD SCENE

    On Tuesday evening the 9th of August about 7 o'clock Bro. Allen Eby, son of Eld. Amos Eby, and Bro. Simon Moyer, son of Jonas Moyer, both living near Berlin, Waterloo Co., Ontario, were killed by lightning while standing under a tree. They had gone out into the field to plow after supper, and after having plowed a few rounds, they saw a shower coming and they sought shelter under a tree in the adjoining field where the lightning struck them and instantly killed both. Their wives, after hearing the severe stroke, went out to see if it had struck the barn, and while thus looking they saw the horses running in the field, and not seeing the men they went in search for them, and found them lying under the burning tree. What a shock must this have been, to find their dear husbands lifeless before them. They lald them to one side and went after help. Allen Eby's age was 27 years, 10 months and 21 days. He leaves a widow with one child to mourn their loss.

    Moyer's age was 26 years, 5 months and 20 days. He leaves a widow to mourn her loss. They were buried side by side in the Eby Cemetery, Berlin, on the 11th of August. This was the saddest funeral we ever witnessed. The entire community was stirred, and all seemed to deply sympathize with these two young widows and breaved friends. It is estimated that over 1,500 people were present at the burial. The services were conducted by Eld. H. Goudie at the house, and H. S. Hallman and Eld. Yaeger at the church. What a blessed thing it is to be ready. Then let death come by lightning or any other way, and it will be all right. - Gospel Banner.

    Notes:

    Louisa (Louise) was the second of six children born to Amos Eby (1842-1923) and Esther Eby, née Moyer (1838-1930). She was born in Waterloo Township, Ontario, where her father was a farmer. In 1870, the family moved to a farm in Maryborough Township, Wellington County.

    Louisa married Edwin S. Snider in 1897. At the time, Edwin worked for his uncle, Dilman Shantz, at the Jacob Y. Shantz & Son Company, a button factory in Buffalo, New York.

    The 1900 United States Census finds Louise, Edwin, and a one-year-old daughter, Helen G., living in Rochester, New York. Edwin was a foreman in a button factory. This factory was operated by another of Edwin's uncles, Moses Shantz.

    By the time of the 1910 census, Edwin, Louise, Helen, and a son, Roswell, lived in Newstead, New York. Edwin's occupation was noted as superintendent in a button factory.

    The 1920 census shows that the family had returned to Rochester. The household included Edwin (age 47), Louise (50), and children, Helen G. (21), Roswell E. (18) and Edwin's mother, Lucinda Snider (71). Edwin was a superintendent in a button factory.

    In 1930, Edwin, Louise, and her mother, Esther Eby, lived in Ferndale, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Edwin was listed as a button manufacturer. By this time, Helen and Roswell were living in New York City, where Helen was a musician, and Roswell, a scenic designer.

    Louisa died in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, in 1937. She was buried in the First Mennonite Cemetery, Kitchener, Ontario, near the graves of her parents, Amos and Esther Eby.

    Although both "Edwin S. Snider" and "Louisa Eby" are inscribed on the gravestone, it is uncertain whether he is buried at that spot, since his birth and death years (unlike his wife's dates) have not been added. The inscription for Helen G. Snider is on the back of the stone.
