Hus/o Susannah GOSS; s/o John and Mary (Mains) SNOOK.
John Snook, of West Perry twp., after an illness of about 9 hours, died Aug. 21st, aged 91 years, 3 months and 24 days. It was on the 26th day of April A.D. 1807 that the aged father was born in Northumberland Co., where Adamsburg is now situated, (Snyder Co. at that time not being in existence.) Being born of Christian parents he was baptize in his infancy by Rev. Walter, and in his maturer years he attended catechetical lectures and was received into the Reformed church by the rite of conformation. His life and conduct to his end were in accordance with God’s wish and command as he had been taught, and as he found it there by his own searching. As a true Israelite his constant efforts and struggle were to be a living church member, and thus show his obedience to his God and Saviour.
He was married to Susanna Goss, who thirty years ago last May preceded her husband to the eternal world. The fruit of this marriage were six children, five daughters and one son: three daughters died in their infancy. There are 15 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
It was last Saturday towards evening that father Snook commenced to complain of feeling ill. As he grew worse, he told his folks that the Lord was coming to deliver him from his earthly burden, and requested one of his favorite hymns to be sung, once more, viz., “Jesus Lover of My Soul;” he then passed away in peace, at 3 o’clock on Sunday morning. Peace to his ashes.
“He died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and he was gathered to his people.” His burial took place on Tuesday morning at St. John’s church where his neighbors and relatives gathered to pay their last respects to a good friend and neighbor.
