Mr David Snedden
The last member of the older ones of the Snedden family passed away on Sunday when Mr David Snedden, youngest son of the late Alex Snedden and Mary Whyte answered to the inevitable summons and went out to cross the bar. The late Mr Snedden was the youngest son of the family of which he was the last, and was born in the old stone house that was built by his father near Blakeney, and where he spent his whole life. The building is now used as a cheese factory. The late David Snedden was married to Mary Snedden, a sister of the late James Snedden, and to them three children were born, Miss Minnie C., and Wm A., who are still living, and David, who was killed by being thrown from a horse about 25 years ago. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, and notwithstanding the almost impassable conditions of the roads in many places, a very large number of friends and neighbours gathered to show their respect for one whom they had learned to esteem and to value as a neighbour beyond that which is retained for others. He never sought public prominence, but his good judgement and kindly advice were often sought for by those who needed such. The pallbearers were Alex D. Snedden, R.A. Snedden, Mansfield Snedden, Geo Mansfield, Thos Geddes, and Grenville Toshack. The services at the house and the grave were conducted by Rev Mr Merrilees.

David married Mary Snedden on 7 Jun 1860 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of William Snedden and Mary Currie) was born on 4 Nov 1836 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 20 May 1893 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 22 May 1893 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

The Late Mrs David Snedden
We regret very much to have to chronicle the death, on Saturday, of Mrs David Snedden, of the 9th line Ramsay, at the comparatively early age of 56 years. The deceased's maiden name was Mary Snedden. She was born in Glasgow, where she spent the early years of her life. Her whole married life, which was that of a very happy Christian, was spent on her husband's present farm near Rosebank. The late Mrs Snedden leaves behind her a sorrowing husband, one son and one daughter, who feel very keenly the loss of a faithful wife and a loving mother. Mrs Snedden will be much missed in the neighbourhood of Rosebank, where she has long been noted for her kindness and practical help to the sick and the afflicted. Many a home among neighbours will miss her ministering services in the hour of sorrow or trouble. This is the second blank in Mr. Snedden's family during the past few years, His youngest son David, having died a year of two ago as the result of a fall from a horse. The disease of which Mrs Snedden died was cancer, from which she suffered for a considerable time. The deceased was a sister of Mrs James Snedden, of this town. The funeral on Monday last was a very large one. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. McLean, the late Mrs Snedden's pastor, assisted by her former pastor, Rev Mr. Knowles, of Alice, and Rev Mr. Grant, of Almonte. The Sons of Scotland attended the funeral in a body. We tender our deepest sympathy to the bereaved husband and family.

John married Janet Young in 1867. Janet was born in 1841; died in 1913. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
