A. V. D. Snyder. 



A. V. D. Snyder, for many years

 time to his wife, whose health was 

 failing. They have been li e long 

 companions, having been little chil- 

 dren together in Luxemberg. and both 

 spoke the French language in their 

 home. The sympathy of the trade is 

 with Mr. Risch in his bereavement. 

 The funeral took place July 30th and 

 interment was in St. Henry's ceme- 

 tery.
