David H. Snowberger Dies On Friday
 
David H. Snowberger, one of the pioneer residents of this city passed away at 
his home on Eighth street Friday of last week.  Funeral services were held 
Tuesday afternoon at Landon's Funeral home with Rev. Hollinger of Fruitland in 
charge.
 
Deceased was born at Huntington, Indiana, May 18, 1863 and he lived there 
until he went to Carrington, N. Dakota in 1897.  He resided in North Dakota 
until 1900 when he moved to this city, where he has since resided.  Mr. 
Snowberger at one time was superintendent of masonry work for the Erie, 
Pennsylvania Railroad in the Western Division which extended from Salino, Ohio 
and extended west.  He was married to Miss Rose Hults of Huntington, Indiana 
and the family consists of four sons, Howard H. of Corvallis, Ore., Ernest of 
Los Angeles, Cal., Fred of Eugene, Ore., and Merritt of Payette; six 
grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
 
During his residence in Payette Mr. Snowberger was quite a sportsman and was 
influential in securing 10,000 catfish which were planted in the Washoe Slough 
and undoubtedly furnished the basis for the excellent fishing in that locality 
at the present time.  He has a most unusual display of polished rock, which he 
has traveled many miles over the countryside in collecting.  This display has 
been willed to the city of Payette on the condition that quarters be furnished 
and that the display not be located more than two blocks from the courthouse 
for two blocks from the post office.
 
He was a charter member of the local Brethren church and has served as a 
deacon in that institution for the past thirty years, having joined the church 
when he was 18 years of age.
