MRS. JOHN SNYDER CLAIMED BY DEATH WHILE SHE SLEEPS
Infermities of old age bring on death for prominent Scottsbluff lady.
Mrs. Barbara Krueger Snyder, mother of Conrad B. Snyder, and wife of John B. Snyder, deceased, passed away quietly Monday evening at her home 1820 Sixth Ave. Death came as she slept and was not discovered until yesterday morning. She had attained the age of 86 years and old age was attributed as the cause of her death.
With her husband she had come to Scottsbluff in June, 1916, and for the past 13 years had made her home in this city. Her husband, John N. Snyder, G. A. R. veteran, preceded her in death in 1922 and was buried at Fairview cemetery beside whose remains she will be laid. Funeral arrangements have not been completed pending word from her children.
A friend to a host of Scottsbluff people, and a faithful member of the Methodist church, her passing will be learned with sorrow. The sympathy of all is extended the bereaved ones.
The deceased was born in Cole County, near Jefferson City, Mo., May 2, 1843 and died at the age of 86 years, five months and five days. She was united in marriage in May 1859, seven children being born to the union, two of whom preceded their parents in death.
Surviving are four sons and one daughter: Conrad B, Snyder of Scottsbluff, Peter of Jefferson City, Mo., Andrew M. of Corvallis, Ore., Johnl A. of Oconto, Nebraska; and Mrs Margaret Uehling, of Uehling, Nebr.
