OBITUARY MR. ALEXANDER SNODDEN. As recorded in our last issue, Mr Alexander Snodden, the eldest son of the late Mr and Mrs Henry Snodden, died at his residence, ' Petfield,' at 5 40 p.m. on Saturday last, at the age of 62 years, the cause of death being primarily chronic asthma and secondarily influenza. For about four days previous to his death he showed evidence of failing. Dr Clouston was called in and did all that was possible, but the fiat had gone forth and his brother, Robert, with whom he had worked as a partner for 30 years farming as tenants on the Cooke Estate, Petfield, with a grief unbounded, had to say goodbye. Neither brothers married, and their friendship was of the David and Jonathan type — sincere to the last. The departed one was born at Cavan, Yass, and had spent nearly all his days in Tumut ; but the bane of his life was asthma. Still, he fought against it, and the open-air life on the farm proved conducive to his reoovery many times during bad attacks. With his brother, the most of his time was devoted to the production of maize, though tobaoco-growing held a fascination for him and he continued at it until the last 12 months. He was of a particularly kind and sociable disposition, true to his principles and loyal to his friends, and many of his old comrades will hear of his death with regret. During his illness Mr and Mrs Jno Murray were exceedingly kind to him, and Mrs W Lonergan, with whom Miss M Snodden resides, contributed a beautiful floral wreath for the coffin. He leaves behind him one brother (Robert Snodden of Tumut), three sisters (Mrs Butterworth of Queensland, Mrs Thomas Killalea of Sydney and Miss M Snodden of Tumut) and two step brothers (Messrs George and C Potter of Melbourne), to mourn the loss of a devoted brother. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Sunday last, the remains being interred in the Church of England portion ot the old cemetery. In the absence of the Rev C. E. Burgess, Mr S. Groves read the burial servioe. Mr James Elphick capably carried out the duties of undertaker. We tender the bereaved ones our deepest sympathy. Now the laborer's task is o'er ; Now the battle day is past ; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. Father, in Thy gracious keeping, Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. |

Mr. Alexander Snodden, whose death we previously recorded, was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Snodden, and he died at his residence, Petfield, on Saturday last. He had resided there for 30 years with his brother Robert, with whom he had been a partner in farming operations. The cause of death was primarily, chronic asthma, and secondarily influenza. For about four days previous to his death he showed signs of failing. Dr. Clouston was called in, and did all that was possible. Neither of the brothers married, and their friendship was of the greatest and most affectionate. The deceased was born at Cavan, Yass, and had spent nearly all his days in Tumut, but the bane of his life was asthma; still he fought against it, and the open-air work on the farm proved conducive to his recovery during bad attacks. Farming with the two brothers was quite a fascination for them. The departed one was of a particularly kind and sociable disposition, true to his principles, and loyal to his friends, and his old comrades will hear of his death with regret. During the last of his illness Mrs. W. Lonergan was very kind in nursing him. He leaves behind him one brother (Robert Snodden, of Tumut), three sisters (Miss M. Snodden, of Tumut, Mrs. Killalea, of Sydney, Mrs. Butterworth, of Queensland). The funeral started from Mrs. W. Lonergan's residence, where deceased's sis- ler had been residing for many years, and it was largely attended. The interment took place in the old cemetery, the Rev. C. E. Burgess reading the burial service, and Mr. J. Elphick capably carried out the duties of undertaker. Mr. and Mrs. Murray sent a neat floral wreath and cross to place on the coffin, and other tributes of respect were also received. We extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones. |
