MRS. SNELL PASSES
The passing of Mrs. Jane Snell,
Huron Street, on Monday morning
about four o’clock sees another of
the pioneer residents of Exeter re
moved from our midst. Possessed
of a remarkable constitution she had
reached the great age of 88 years, 3
months and 20 days. In September
last Mrs. Snell passed through a
rather severe and critical illness and
her immediate relatives thought the
end of her long career was nearing
the end. In a few- short days a
change for the better set in and she
was restored to fairly good health
again and continued to enjoy life
as before. This, however, lasted
only a few months and as above
stated she .succumbed to the effects
of an internal bowel obstruction.
Born in Devonshire, England, she
came to Canada with her parents
when scarcely three years of age and
all ‘her long life was spent in this lo
cality, first living a mile from
in Stephen, and for about 65
her home has been in Exeter,
was one^bf the noblest souls
ever lived; her thoughtfulness and
consider a teness for others made her
a figure universally loved and re
spected. Mrs. Snell was twice mar
ried, her first husband being Rich.
Sanders, to whom was born a family
of four sons and four daughters,1
five of whom are dead and three sur
vive. Those surviving are, C. H.
Sanders, Mrs. McAvoy, and Miss An
nie Sanders, all of town. Her first
husband died over 47 years ago, and
aer second about 19 years ago. The
funeral took place from her late
residence, Huron Siteet, on Wednes
day to the Trivitt Memorial Church,
where an appropriate service was
conducted by Rev. W. Jones, rec
