MRS. JANE SNYDER DIED AT MRS. MARY MARQUARDT HOME
Mrs. Jane Snyder passed away at the home of Mrs. Mary Marquardt, Friday afternoon at the age of 61 years. Mrs. Snyder has been a helpless invalid for many years, crippled with rheumatism, and unable to leave her bed, so the end has been expected.
Jane Ruthgen was born on December 12, 1865 and died on September 27, 1924. She was married to George Snyder in February, 1895, and lived practically all of her life in Osage. Three children were born to this union, Earl Snyder, Osage, Mary Van Fleet, Waterloo, and Millie who preceded her in death by a few years.
During the years she has suffered, Mrs. Snyder has been patient and kind, and appreciated the attentions of those who cared for her, and her last years have been pleasant and peaceful. Her time was spent in reading, with her Bible and Sunday school papers and literature her constant companions.
Funeral services were held from the home of her son, Earl, on Sunday afternoon, and interment made in the local cemetery.

Maria Jane Rathjen was born December 12, 1865 at Osage, Iowa to Hartwig and Hannah Hodgson Rathjen. She was known to the family as Jane and had an older brother Nathan. Her mother, Hannah, died May 3, 1866 at Osage, Iowa. After her mother's death, Hartwig, her father, and Nathen, her brother, moved to a farm at Monticello Township, Johnson County, Kansas in the fall of 1866. Jane was a baby, less than a year old, and remained in Osage, Iowa under the care of her mother's childhood friend, Mrs. Mary Lloyd Reimers. Mrs. Reimers had also migrated to Osage, Iowa and had no children of her own. Her father and brother never saw Jane again.
The 1870 US Census shows Jane Ragins (Note: should be Rathjen) living with Hans and Mary Rimis (Note: should be Reimers) and Mary Lloyd (Mary Reimers grandmother) living in Ridgeway, Wisconsin.
The 1880 US Census shows Jane Reimers (her adopted last name) living with Markus and Mary Reimers in Burr Oak Township in Iowa.
In the Iowa County Marriages, 1838 - 1934 database, Jane Rhymer (should be Reimers) married George W. Snyder on January 27, 1896 at Mitchell, Iowa.
On May 9, 1897 a son, Earl Hartwick Snyder, was born and then on March 29, 1899 a daughter, Mary Florence Snyder, was born.
The 1900 US Census shows Maria Jane Snyder living with her husband George W. Snyder and two children, Earl and Mary, at Osage, Iowa.
On January 14, 1901 a son, Wilhum (William) J. Snyder, was born.
Sometime prior to 1910 Mary Florence Snyder and Wilhum J. Snyder were adopted by Josiah and Emeline (Wilcoxson) Ramsay of New Hartford, Iowa. Their mother, Jane, suffered from debilitating rheumatism and was bedridden for many years.
The 1910 US Census shows Jane Snyder living with Mary Reimers (adoptive mother) who is a widow in Osage, Iowa. Jane's son, Earl, is in the household of Estras and Lulu Norton as a foster son.
The 1920 US Census shows Jennie (should be Jane) Snyder living as a "boarder" with Edgar and Martha Van Hoosier in Osage, Iowa. Martha Van Hoosier indicates she is a caretaker for an invalid, which is probably Jane Snyder as she was bedridden.
Jane died September 7, 1924 at Osage, Iowa.
