Mrs James Snedden
Some time ago Mrs James Snedden of this town, took a severe attack of whooping-cough, which was epidemic at that time, and though she recovered from it she was left in poorer health than was her wont. A few weeks ago a stomach trouble developed and in spite of all the care and medical skill that could be lavished upon her she grew worse by degrees until last Friday, when death ensued. The sad outcome created deep and widespread sorrow, as deceased was known and respected by a very large circle of friends. Mrs Snedden was of a retiring disposition, but those who had the privilege of her acquaintance were charmed with her manner and the graces that adorned her life. Mrs Snedden was born in Glasgow 66 years ago. Over forty years ago, while on a visit to Canada, she formed the acquaintance of Mr. Snedden, who a few years after married her at her home in Scotland. Two children were born to them ? Mrs George Patterson, of this town, and Miss Tillie, at home. That the mourning ones have the full sympathy of their friends was shown by the very large attendance at the funeral on Monday, in spite of the severe weather. A short service was held at the house, conducted by Rev. R.J. Hutcheon, M.A., pastor of St. Andrew's congregation (of which deceased was a consistent member), after which the remains were interred in the eighth line cemetery.

Catherine married James Snedden in 1856 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. James (son of Alexander Snedden and Mary Whyte) was born on 21 Apr 1831 in Ramsay Township, Lanark County, Canada West; died on 22 Oct 1917 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 24 Oct 1917 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
