A Prominent Resident Gone
It was sincere regret that his many friends learned a few weeks ago of the serious illness of Mr Wm Snedden, of Pakenham township, but that regret was changed to heartfelt sorrow when news of his death on Tuesday afternoon was heard. Mr Snedden had not been in good health for some months, advancing years and the consequent relaxing of physical energies telling upon the vigour and activity of his earlier years until he was laid aside from the everyday duties of life, and was finally called upon to pay the debt due Nature. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Alexander Snedden, having been born in Ramsay township at Blakeney and was 77 years of age. Over fifty-three years ago he was married to Miss Eliza Ann Dickson, daughter of the late Samuel Dickson, and to them ten children were born ? four daughters, Catherine Mary, Tena and Tillie, all of whom are dead, and six sons Alex, at home, Samuel, dead, William, Lumsden, Assa.; Robt A., at Pakenham; David, in British Columbia and Dr. Sylvester M., in Pembroke. Of his father's family three brothers are still living. These are James, in town, and Alex and David in Ramsay. Three sisters Mrs Gomersall, Mr Thos Mansfield and Mrs James Snedden are dead The late Mr Snedden was not a man who sought after publicity in his life time, but his natural ability and good judgement made him a man whose opinions were valued and whose advice and aid were frequently sought after, and it is not to be wondered at that repeated and determined efforts were made to induce him to accept public positions. But though he took a deep interest in both municipal, county and provincial matters, he steadfastly set his face against more than an ordinarily prominent position in any these capacities. In politics he was a Liberal, and to that party he gave an intelligent and conscientious support, always standing up manfully for what he was convinced was for righteousness and truth. He was a Presbyterian in religion, and was for many years a consistent member of the Blakeney church, prior to his connection with which attended the Pakenham church which the late Rev Dr. Mann was pastor for so many years. The funeral of the late Mr Snedden take place this (Thursday) afternoon at 1.30 to the eighth line cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs Snedden, the family and friends in their bereavement.

William married Eliza Ann Dickson on 29 Mar 1853 in Pakenham Village, Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Eliza (daughter of Samuel Dickson and Catherine Lowe) was born on 5 Apr 1832 in Cedar Hill, Pakenham Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 4 Jun 1909 in Rosebank, Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 7 Jun 1909 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

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.
