Moses K. Kreider, a well-known resident of South Annville township, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Jacob Ebersole, at 5:15 o'clock Tuesday evening, after a prolonged illness. Mr. Kreider was 69 years of age, but up to the time of his illness, which occurred in the latter part of January, he was in perfect health, a man of wonderful vitality and endurance. He became ill with pneumonia, followed by a stroke of paralysis, which made him entirely helpless, also depriving him of the power of speech.
He is survived by four children: Kate, wife of Geo. D. Houser; Annie, wife of Jacob Ebersole: Mrs. Lizzie Light; all residing in Annville, and John Kreider, a farmer in South Annville township: He also leaves many relatives and friends who mourn his death.
The funeral ceremonies will be in charge of the Rev. Bachman. of the Reformed church of Schaefferstown, and will take place at Gingrich's Meeting House on Saturday morning at 9.30 o'clock. The burial will follow in the cemetery adjoining the church.
