  	1919, Friday May 2, The Almonte Gazette front page 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.
