Snedden, son of Mr Wm, Snedden aged 28 years. - 1890, Friday January 3, The Almonte Gazette front page Obit. ? The Late Samuel Snedden Deep and sincere sorrow has been created in the hearts of a host of friends by the untimely death of Mr Samuel J. Snedden, son of Mr Wm Snedden, of Pakenham township, which took place rather suddenly last Sabbath evening. He was 28 years of age. Deceased was a most exemplary young man, and was very popular with all who knew him. He was for several years a clerk in Mr Jas Robertson's store in this town. Over a year ago he took ill with a lung trouble, which developed into consumption, and he grew weaker gradually till all hope of recovery was given up. The day on which he died, however, Mr Snedden had been in better spirits than usual. He had been up most of the day, and in the evening was in the act of retiring when he was seized with hemorrhage of the lungs, and died in a few minutes. Deceased being a member of Alpha Lodge I.O.O.F., Almonte, the funeral, which took place on Wednesday, to the 8th line cemetery, was under the auspices of that body. About 50 Oddfellows from this place attended. The cortege was one of the longest ever seen in the township, being nearly a mile in length. beautiful floral tributes adorned the coffin, one of them being from the Oddfellows, who held their lamented brother in very high esteem. Rev Mr Knowles was the officiating clergyman. Expressions of regret that one so young and promising should be cut off were heard on all sides. The parents have the sincere sympathy of their host of friends in their bereavement.
