The Death Of Emory W. Snell

THE  DEATH OF EMORY W. SNELL

FOR MANY YEARS IN THE MACHINE BUSINESS HERE

His Death Took Place at Whitmore Lake Where He Has Resided For 20 Years

Mrs. Emory W. Snell died at his home at Whitmore Lake on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 1902, of heart trouble, from which he had been a great sufferer for two years. He was born at Lima Center, this county on March 15, 1843, and was the son of Richard and Fanny Snell, who are both deceased. He was married to Mary C. Congdon, of Chelsea on July 3, 1862, who died June 8, 1897. One daughter, now Mrs. Chas. Payne, of Port Clinton, Ohio, came to bless their married life. On Oct. 18, 1898, he was married to Miss Victoria Roper, who still survives to mourn the loss of a kind and devoted husband. Mr. Snell lived an energetic life, was a consistent member of the Methodist church and passed away with that blessed hope of a blissful immortality. In the year of 1870 he removed from Lima to Ann Arbor, where he was engaged with the J. L. Grinnell Machine Co. for a number of years, which place he filled with great competency. In 1882 he came to Whitmore Lake and had resided here up to the time of his death. The last sad rites were paid to the departed one last Friday morning at his home, the Rev. Mr. Emory officiating. The remains were taken to Chelsea for interment.
