  	1917, Friday October 26, The Almonte Gazette, front page Mr James Snedden Although called away in the full fruition of a long life, and the call one looked for with almost eager anticipation, the death of Mr James Snedden on Monday morning brought sadness to the hearts of many. He had been confined to bed for only a couple of weeks, but at times suffered severely, and though borne with that brightness and cheerfulness that characterized his whole life, he longed for release. The late Mr Snedden was born in the township of Ramsay, in 1831, a son of the late Alex. Snedden and Mary Whyte, and spent his whole lifetime within a small radius. He was married in 1856 to Catherine C. Snedden, daughter of the late Wm Snedden. To them two daughters were born, Mrs George Paterson and Miss Matilda Snedden, both living in Almonte. Mrs Snedden died in March 1897, since then Mr Snedden and his daughter have lived in their comfortable home on the river bank, which to Mr Snedden was a home indeed, his greatest pleasure being to spend his days in caring for it. Though possesses of ability and judgement that eminently fitted him for public service he could never be prevailed upon to take any part in such matters. He was of a kindly and genteel disposition that won him the friendship on many. Of three brothers Messrs William and Alex. are dead and David is the only one left. There were several sisters, but they passed away in early life. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and though the day was a disagreeable one there was a good turn out of friends and acquaintances both from the town and from outside points to pay tribute to the memory of a worthy life. The pallbearers were Messrs A.D. Snedden and R.A. Snedden of Pakenham; W.A. Snedden, of Blakeney; Mansfield Snedden, of Appleton, George Mansfield, of Manotick, and Dr. M.H. Steele of Carleton Place.
