WILEY SNYDER CALLED
TO HIS REWARD
----------
This community was shocked Tuesday Morning by the sudden and utterly unexpected death of Wiley Snyder. Perhaps there has never been such an unexpected passing away in this community before. Wiley, as he was familiary[sic] called has always seemingly enjoyed good health. He was down town for his mail Monday evening and chatted with friends after which he went home to enjoy the fellowship of his family, as usual when he could be at home from his work. He had perhaps mentioned the fact that he was a bit distressed with gas on his stomcah that evening, but apparently thought it would pass away. The family retired as usual, and about 4 o'clock in the morning his wife was awakened by a noise, she noticed something was the matter with Wiley, and called Dr. Sloss and a neighbor John Heist, but when they arrived he had passed away.
Mr. Snyder was one of DeWitt's most respected citizens, and will be missed by the whole community. Our sympathy goes to the family in their sorrow, as does the sympathy of the entire community.
Funeral services for the deceased were held from the home at 2 P. M.
Rev. Charles F. Luscher had charge of the services. Mrs. Wm. Tussey, Miss Hollis Weibel, Mr. O. W. Weibel, and Mr. R. J. Danley sang.
J. J. Kreuscher, J. A. Sire, C. C. Shoemaker, John Heist, G. A. Balderson and H. O. Waldo acted as pallbearers.
The remains were laid at rest in the Oak Grove Cemetery.
The funeral was largely attended by friends and relatives.
Wiley Snyder was born at Shelbyville, Indiana, April 14th, 1880, and was called in death March 8th, 1927 at the age of 46 years, 10 months and 24 days. On March 8, 1884, he moved with his parents from Indiana to Nebraska and since that time he has continuously made his home at DeWitt.
On July 2, 1900, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Doge and to this union, three children, Glenn, Earl and Flossine were born. In October of 1918, Mrs. Snyder was called to her eternal reward.
On September 6, 1924, Wiely was united in marriage to Mrs. Izma Wilson, of Agra, Kansas, and to them were born a daughter, Darlene, now 19 months old, and a son, George Wiley, now but six weeks old.
Because of his strong character and personality, Wiley was endeared to all who knew him. Following his days in High School, he successfully taught school in the country districts near DeWitt. Following this, he entered the grain business and for a number of years followed this line of work. For the past fourteen years, he has served as a traveling representative and salesman for four large creamery companies to whom he rendered faithful and efficient service. Of late, he had been considering entering some kind of business for himself that he might be able to be at home with his family to whom he was ever a loving husband and father.
His death casts a gloom over the entire community and all hearts reach out to those who were nearest and dearest to him, in their bereavement.
He is survived by his loving wife and children, a step-son Don Wilson, his aged father and mother and two sisters, Mrs. Maggie Staley, of DeWitt, and Mrs. Emil Wollenburg, of Donnelly, Minnesota.

          George Snyder, retired farmer and well known resident of Shelby county, died at the home of his brother, Frank Snyder, south of Marietta in Hendricks township, this morning at 7 o'clock. Death was caused from a complication of diseases and followed an illness of over six months, during which time, however, he was only seriously ill toward the last.
Mr. Snyder had been residing at the home of his brother for the last sixteen years, during which time he had lived a retired life. He was the son of Michael and Madalena Snyder, pioneer residents of Hendricks township, and was born in that township, April 10, 1850. At his death he was aged sixty-eight years, ten months of age.

He was one of sixteen children born to Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, there now being but five of the family surviving. There are Mrs. Barbara Campbell, Mrs. Amanda Snepp, Miss Lucinda Snyder and Jackson and Frank Snyder.
He had never united in marriage. Eleven years ago he joined the Marietta M. P. Church and was a true christian man, loved by everyone in the community. He was an expert in the work of agriculture in which he engaged thruout his life. His death brings great sorrow to all his friends and relatives, being very unexpected.
Funeral services will be held Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the home of his brother, Rev. Coons, of the Marietta M. P. Church, officiating. Burial will be made in the Miller cemetery in charge of Stewart & Fix, undertakers.
