Obituary 

Edwin Eldred Snyder was born at Roseboom, Otsego County, New York, on April 
22nd of the year 1846. In the vicinity of his birth, he grew to manhood and on 
May 31st 1866 he was married to Miss Gratia Annetta Belding. The new home was 
established in the same neighborhood, and there five children making up the 
family were born. These are Mary E. Phetteplace of The Dallas, Oregon, Albert 
I. and Edwin Snyder, Louie A. Phetteplace of Payette and Harry Amos. All these 
survive save Harry who died at the age of 19 years. He was a loving and 
beloved son and brother and is counted by the family, not as lost, but as gone 
before. 

From New York the Snyders moved to Wisconsin, then to Minnesota, still later 
to Indiana, and finally to Idaho, where they have resided for about nine 
years. The father and sons have always carried on their business in 
partnership as E. E. Snyder & Sons. When a mere youth Mr. Snyder enlisted as a 
soldier of the Civil War in the 121st. Regt. of N. Y. Vol. Infty, and served 
to the end of the war. He died May 29 with his wife and children at his 
bedside. Funeral services were held at the home on May 30th, at which a brief 
address was made by a comrade of the G. A. R. and the body was borne to its 
resting place by six other comrades, these seven being all that remain in this 
vicinity of the boys who were soldiers in the 60s. 

They laid him down to rest "Till the robe of white is given for the faded coat 
of blue." 

The sincere sympathy of the community is extended to the family, and 
especially to Mrs. Snyder who is in feeble health.
