Our community was shocked last Friday morning when the word flashed over the phone that Warren Snedaker was slowly but surely answering the summons of the Masters, “come home.” Warren had been in poor health for…that dreaded disease, diabetes, which sooner or later conquers its victim. Although he was compelled to diet and deny himself many pleasures, yet no word of complaint ever escaped him. He realized his days were numbered and gave himself to his master several years ago and lived the life of one, who though gone from us still lives by the influence he has left. Warren was one of our boys who was not afraid to be called a Sunday School boy, but was found in his place every Sunday his health would permit. The Snedaker family is one of our most esteemed neighbors and this sudden taking away of their loved one has cast a gloom over the entire community, and not only will his loss be felt in the home but each one of us mourn his loss. Warren was sick but a few hours, being taken suddenly Thursday at four o’clock p. m. and left this earth at 12 a. m. Friday. The immediate family, with the exception of one brother, who is in the navy at California, were at his bedside when he passed away. The funeral was held at the home at eleven o’clock Saturday morning where a large concourse of friends and neighbors gathered to pay their last respects to the one whom we loved, a large number following the body to its final resting place in Palacios Cemetery. The floral offerings were many and in one way showed the esteem in which he was held by all. The honorary pallbearers were Misses Mary and Lillian Anderson, Bernice Ellis, Winnie Harrison and Mrs. E. I. Johnson. Active pallbearers were Lonnie Nail, Walter and Leslie Johnston, Ben Hill, Loyd Bland, and Loyal Lee, these being his Sunday School class mates and teacher. Warren was just budding into manhood, being nearly nineteen years of age, but, “God’s will be done.” Our deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved family, and we can only pray God’s blessing upon them, for “the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Palacios Beacon, May 1, 1914 Obituary Warren Thomas Snedaker, second son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Snedaker of Dunbar, Texas, was born in Grand Rapids Township, LaSalle County, Illinois, May 10, 1895. He moved when but a child with his parents to Kansas and resided in that state for eleven years; when his parents made their next move it was to Matagorda County, Texas, in 1908, he and the rest of the family coming then. For that last four years he has been suffering with diabetes and on April 24, 1914, death came and ended his suffering at the age of 18 years, 11 months and 14 days. He leaves on earth to mourn his departure, a loving and devoted father and mother, two sisters, Ruth and Mabel; two brothers, Ray and Frank, beside a host of friends both in Kansas and Texas. His brother Ray was unable to be at the funeral as he was in California at that date. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church South at Dunbar in 1909, a faithful student of the Sunday School at that place, a true and loyal friend to those that were his friends, he will be missed by all. The funeral services were conducted at the home, after which the remains were interred in the cemetery at Palacios. Relatives and friends let us dry our tears and rejoice for he is not dead but alive with God; he has had his birthday in heaven, his coronation day for eternity and may we be also ready for we know not what hour God will call for us. L. A. Alkire, Pastor
