Snyder - Bro. Eli Snyder, eldest son of Bro. Amos Snyder of Waterloo Co., Ont., was born March 17, 1887; died Jan. 16, 1909; aged 21 y. 10 m. Burial in Shantz's cemetery. He leaves a sorrowing father, two sisters and two brothers to mourn his early departure, his mother having died thirteen years ago. Funeral services were conducted by Bish. Jonas Snyder in German from Matt. 24: 44, and Bro. Orphan Wismer in English from Luke 12: 40, both brethren having chosen the same text. "Therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh." Bro. Eli died very suddenly. He left his home on Saturday evening in company with several others to make a short visit at their neighbor's but barely reached the place when he began to feel sick and asked his brother to fetch the doctor. With the assistance of his sister he walked into the house; they got him into a rocking chair and he died in a few minutes without another word. He died of heart failure. What a loud call to the young, and not only to the young but to us all to "prepare to meet our God." This again shows to us the brevity of life. Life is uncertain and death is sure. But I am glad we need not mourn as those who have no hope. Bro. Eli united with the church several years ago, and we trust our loss is his eternal gain. May God comfort the bereaved family
