Obituary
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1890
SNELBAKER.--George C. Snelbaker, a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of Woodstown, New Jersey, died at his home there March 15, 1890, in his 71st year. Brother Snelbaker was converted at 16, united with the Methodist Episcopal church, and about three years afterward was licensed an EXHORTER, which office he retained. He was for thirty years a class-leader. Brother Snelbaker was rich in faith. His testimonies were always inspiring; as an Exhorter, he showed a surprising gift and familiarity with divine things; in prayer he seemed to prevail. He was called home suddenly during the closing weeks of a powerful revival, in which he had received much spiritual blessing. He had been requested to lead the service that evening, the pastor being absent at Conference; he cheerfully consented, but later in the day he was taken ill. Though in much pain he joined with his wife in family worship, and presently, after rising to note the time, he lay back in his chair and peacefully expired. His funeral was largely attended. It was said of him the morning after his death by an unconverted neighbor: "If there ever was a Christian, 'Uncle George' was one."
