ANNA CAROLINE LINEBRINK SNELLENBERGER

“OBITUARY.

It has pleased our Heavenly Father to call from our midst our sister, Anna Caroline Snellenberger (nee Linebrink).  She was born in Tiffin township, Defiance county, March 24, 1878, and passed away to younger Heavenly Home, Sunday, May 5, 1907, at her home in Paulding county. 

She was married November 21, 1906, to Benjamin Snellenberger. This union was very short, and her last words were, ‘The cord will soon be broken.’  She was a loving wife, but too soon was she called away.  Her father related to me, she was a good and obedient child.  She was raised in the Methodist Episcopal church and in her early youth, joined the same; she also was a charter member of the Epworth League of the St. John’s church in Tiffin township.  About 3 years ago she made the glorious experience that Jesus came to save sinners; she enjoyed the religion of Jesus Christ.  The Saviour that she had loved so, and so beautifully represented in her daily life, was her unfailing and constant support. 

She was very patient in her sufferings.   

She leaves to mourn her loss her bereaved husband, her parents, four sisters, four brothers, and many friends.  May the Lord comfort the bereaved.  The funeral, which was largely attended took place Tuesday afternoon at the St John’s church in Tiffin township.  The interment was in the family lot at St. John’s cemetery, Tiffin township.  Wm. Jauch, Pastor.

-We desire to express our most sincere thanks for the kindness and sympathy shown during the illness and at the loss of our dear daughter.  Louis Linebrink and Family.”
