    Notes:

    Snyder.-Clifford Anson, son of Menno and Ida (Groh) Snyder, Kitchener, Ont., was born Oct. 24, 1914; passed away April 10, 1947; aged 32 y. 4 m. 17 d. His death, caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, occurred aboard ship en route to Argentine, where he and his family were going to serve on the mission field. Early in life he became a Christian, was baptized on Dec. 20, 1925, and soon prepared for Christian work. He served as a Sunday-school teacher and later as superintendent of the intermediate department, and was active in young people's activities. After his regular school course he graduated from the Ontario Mennonite Bible School; took post-graduate work; graduated from Toronto Bible College; took two years' work at Goshen College, and graduated from there in 1946. On June 26, 1943 he was married to Doris Swartzentruber, who survives. Also surviving are 2 children (Margaret Anne and Arnold), his parents, 4 sisters, and 2 brothers. On Aug. 20, 1944 he was ordained to the ministry, and from February to October, 1946 he served at the Mexican Mission in Chicago. While waiting to sail, he assisted at the First Mennonite Church in Kitchener. He was a consistent Christian, thoughtful, and deeply spiritual with a fine co-operative spirit. He worked well with both old and young. His early passing does not stop the onward march of his works, for "their works shall follow them." The example and witness that he gave remain; his enthusiasm still kindles other fires. Memorial services were held at the Kitchener Church, April 27, with Roy Koch, J. B. Martin, J. D. Graber, John Kehl, Merle Shantz, and C. F. Derstine taking part. The sermon, "Divinely Directed Life Is Not Abbreviated!" was based on John 11: 8-11. His body was buried at sea, near the equator.
