Obit – Mrs Wm. Snedden
Bowing beneath the weight of years and physical infirmities that follow in their train, Mrs Wm Snedden, a native of Pakenham township and one of her oldest residents, on Friday last, June 4th, passed to the land that lies beyond the horizon that bounds our narrow vision on this side of the grave. Deceased whose maiden name was Eliza Ann Dickson, was a daughter of the late Samuel Dickson, and was born at Cedar Hill in the year 1832, and was therefore 77 years of age. In the year 1850 she was married to Mr Wm Snedden, and to them were born four daughters and six sons. The daughters, Catherine (Mrs Whyte), Mary, Martena and Tillie, are dead, and of the sons Samuel J., is also dead. Those living are Alex D., on the homestead; William at Lumsden, Sask.; Robt A., Pakenham; David, in British Columbia, and Dr. Sylvester M., at present in British Columbia. Four brothers of the deceased – Messrs Samuel and Stephen at Lumsden, Sask., Sylvester at Winnipeg, and H.H. at Pakenham – and two sisters Mrs John Riddell in Michigan, and Mrs Jas Mansfield at Merivale – also survive. Mr Snedden died three years ago on the 12th of June and was 77 years of age; Mrs Snedden died on the 4th of June and was also 77 years of age. The funeral on Monday was one of the largest seen in Pakenham township for a long time, many being present from outside points. The ceremony was conducted by Rev Mr Macleod of Blakeney Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was a member for many years, and interment was made in the eighth line cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs David Snedden, James Snedden, H.H. Dickson, Jas McDougall, Robt Philip and Jas Barker.
