At an early age, Mr. Snyder united with the Lutheran Church and was a faithful member of that church until five years ago, when he joined the Methodist. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Church yesterday afternoon and were largely attended. The Rev. Mr. Mallalieu officiated, assisted by the Rev. R. G. Bannen, of whose church, Mr. Snyder was a member, while residing in South Williamsport. Interment was made in Fairview Cemetery
