MRS. JANE SNYDER
DIED AT MRS. MARY
MARQUARDT HOME

Mrs. Jane Snyder passed away at the home of Mrs. Mary Marquardt, Friday afternoon at the age of 61 years. Mrs. Snyder has been a helpless invalid for many years, crippled with rheumatism, and unable to leave her bed, so the end has been expected.

Jane Ruthgen was born on December 12, 1865 and died on September 27, 1924. She was married to Geroge Snyder in February, 1895, and lived practically all of her life in Osage. Three children were born to this union, Earl Snyder, Osage, Mary Van Fleet, Waterloo, and Millie who preceded her in death by a few yeaws.

During the years she has suffered, Mrs. Snyder has been patient and kind, and appreciated the attentions of those who cared for her, and her last years have been pleasant and peaceful. Her time was spent in reading, with her Bible and Sunday school papers and literature her constant companions.

Duneral services were held from the home of her son, Earl, on Sunday afternoon, and interment made in the local cemetery.
