MRS. SNYDER PASSES AWAY
Mrs. E. E. Snyder, mother of A. I. and Edwin of this vicinity, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. Phetteplace in The Dalles, Oregon, June 29 and was buried in Park View Cemetery June 1920.
Annitta Gracia Belden was born at East Worcester, Otsego County, New York on the 28 day of May, 1857. In the month of June 1866 she became the wife of Edwin E. Snyder. To this union was born five children, the youngest of whom died at the age of twenty years. The others are still living. She lived in the state of her birth until her children were born. Later she, with her husband and family moved to Wisconsin, from Wisconsin to Minnesota, and from there to Indiana. About eleven years ago she moved from Plymouth, Indiana to New Plymouth, Idaho, where she had resided until a short time before her death when she went to The Dalles to visit her daughter.
Funeral services were held at the Dalles June 29, and on June 30 at her home near here just twenty-five months after similar services were held at the same place for her husband. She is survived by two sons and two daughters, A. I. Snyder and Edwin Snyder of New Plymouth, Mrs. W. Phetteplace and Mrs. Charles Phetteplace at The Dalles, Ore. and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
For several years she has been in poor health but patiently followed her household duties in so far as health would permit.
She was a devoted wife to whom her husbands affections clung until death separated them. She was a loved mother and grandmother who was all that the word implies.
While her age and health was such that her departure was not unexpected it cast a pall of sorrow over the homes of those who mourn her loss.
There is no other to take her place. The love she gave and the love she received in return is but a memory, but a memory that dies only with the passing of life itself. That word, mother, so tender to the human world, so deep in human affection, so dear to the human heart, so wrapped in the souls embrace, can ne'er again be spoken except in recollection of the past.
