Snyder Passes to the Great Beyond at Selinsgroye Friday. A HOST OF RELATIVES PROMINENT IN PUBLIC LIFE. Miss Mary lvittera Snyder was born in Selinsgrove, Union (now Snyder) county, Pa., (no date given) and died there Friday, July '11, PJOO. In our boyhood days, among our earliest acquaintances was Miss Mary K. Suyder, who was then the postmistress of Selinsgrove. She was a lady of fine qualities, though Unite reserved and never of late years mingled much with h e r friends. The weight of years im posed their burden, lint in her heart, she cherished a love tor her Creator and as a momumeiit to her devotion to h'T Maker, she erected a church edifice on the corner of Market and Snyder sjreet.-, Selinsgrove, which has lci;ii dedicated to the Triune God for the use of the Episcopal church. This act of charity is the crowning event ot her lite and is a fitting climax to a life well Biient and an appropriate honor to her illustri ous ancestry. Her mother died when the de ceased was only two mouths old, and Miss Mary ami an only sister were taken to raise by the maternal grandmother, Mrs. John Wilkes Kittera of Philadelphia. MissSny der was educated at Professor Pieot's French school, at that time the lead ing seminary for young ladies in Philadelphia, and was taught all the accomplishments of a young lady of high social position. In I860 Pres ident Grant, at the request of Hon. Simon Cameron, who was her fath er's warm friend, appointed her postmistress of Selinsgrove. She was re-appointed successively and served in that capacity for ten years until J 879 when she resigned. When Miss Harriet Lane was mistress of the White House during Presi- dent Ducnanan s aumimiraiiou, Miss Mary Snyder frequently was the welcome guest at the President's official residence Deceased is a daughter ol Hon. John Snyder and grauddaugher ol Hon. Simon Snvder Governor of Pennsylvania, 1809-1818, in whose honor our county has been named. Her great grandfather, Anthony Snyder, emigrated from Germany and settled ill Pennsylvania in 1740 and died at Lancaster in April 1771. Her grandfather, Simon Snyder, moved to Selinsgrove in July 1 78-1 and became proprietor of a null and a store. He served as justice of the Peace 12 years; in 1789 was elected a member of the constitutional coven tion: in 1 was elected a memlier of the Legislature and in 1S02 was elected speaker of the House of Re presentatives. He served as speaker until he was elected Governor. After having served astiovernor he served one term in the state senate, and died Nov. 'J, 1KPJ. Hon. John Snyder, father of the deceased, when only P. years of age, raised,! company during the war of 1812, and marched with them as captain to Baltimore. They arrived at Harnsbiirg fietore daylight, and were halted liefore the Governor's loor. He arose from his bed and welcomed them, and with stirring words complimented their bravery. He always said, in speaking of the circumstance, he never before had felt so proud ol his sod, John. Hon. John Snyder married, June 11, 1818, Mary Louisa Kittera, daughter of Hon. John Wilkes Kit tera of Lancaster, Congressman dur ing the administration of General Washington, and until the election of Thomas Jefferson, in 1801, when ti,i,:u-. l, k; nn PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 1900. ion were Mary lv., the deceased, and I Mrs. James C.

Thomas lvittera, were both in Congress and the latter presided as I Grand Master of the Grand Lodgo ot Masons iii Pennsylvania, 1820- 7-8. An elegant oil portrait ol him hangs in the Grand Master's office in Masonic Temple, Philadelphia, the j;ift of the deceased.

If You Have the Poster Craze Here is Your Opportunity. Everybody who is anybody, and that means all nice people, is inter ested in the poster decorative idea. It has so many forms that it would be almost an endless task to attempt a list, but the Great Philadelphia Sunday "Press" has taken hold of one possibility that is certain to get everybody in this section talking. With every copy of the Philadelphia "Press" of next Sunday, (August 5) will le given free a beautiful pic ture,size 2n.28 inches entitled "The Maids of Fair Japan." It is by Arter, and that guarantees its qual ity. As a picture it is well worthy ot framing, but ii you wish to be in the swim you will take a pair of scissors cut around the lines of the girls' faces and the floweis, and then paste the picture ou a dark back ground of any material. Try it and you will have the most striking poster effect of the year. It will lie necessary to make certain early in this week (hat you can get next "Sunday's Press," because the de maud is certain to be tremendous and the supply is limited. VOL. 37.
