OBITUARY
Rev. Joseph Snell,
Geelong
The death occurred at Geelong on Saturday of the Rev. Joseph Snell, who in 1922 was president of the Methodist Conference of Victoria and Tasmania. Ordained a minister of the Wesleyan Church 51 years ago, he had served the church in four states, including the Melville-street Church, Hobart. He was a chaplain of the permanent forces and saw active service during the Great War as a colonel in the A.I.F. He also served on troopships and in hospital in England, and received the V.D. for long service. Mr. Snell is survived by a widow, the daughter of the late Sir A. Rutledge, K.C., of Brisbane, one son, and a daughter. There was a large attendance of clergymen and others at the funeral at the Kew Cemetery on Monday afternoon.
