- (Research):Snyder. Byron Christian, son of Elvin V. and Mary Fretz Snyder, was born in Trenque Lauquen, Argentina, died July 29, 1932; aged 2 m. 7 d. He leaves father, mother, one little brother (Marion Ozias), many relatives in the homeland, as well as many sympathetic Argentine friends. Byron was a dear little boy and we loved him; but our heavenly Father, who doeth all things well, knows why he was taken and why our hearts are left lonely and our arms empty. Trenque Lauquen had an epidemic of whooping cough this winter, Sister Snyder and Marion both taking it and later Byron took it also. Although he seemed a strong child, his little body could not resist the disease and it developed complications. Bro. and Sister Snyder were getting ready to move to America F.C.O. since Bro. Rutt's are going on furlough. Byron seemed a little better for a few days, but just the day before they were to move he took a turn for the worse. Special prayer was requested in the near by churches, but it pleased the One who gave his spirit to take it again soon after dawn the second day following. Funeral services were conducted in the Trenque Lauquen church (this being the first funeral in the new church), by T. K. Hershey assisted by N. J. Litwiler. Four of the Children's Home girls were pallbearers. Interment in Trenque Lauquen Cemetery.
