Argos Reflector 13 Feb 1908
Argos Reflector, 13 Feb 1908: PROMINENT RESIDENT DEAD - The Messenger Calls at 
Another Walnut Township Home and Henry Snyder Answers Summons to Final Rest - 
Henry Snyder died at his home southeast of Argos Sunday after an illness of 
over a year, aged 60 years, 7 months, 2 days.  For several years the deceased 
had been afflicted with a very painful and trying illness and for several 
months had been confined to his home.  When the final call came to him Mr. 
Snyder was standing on his feet and the change was sudden and apparently 
painless.
Obituary - Deceased was born in Starke county, O., July 9, 1847 and when one 
year of age came to Indiana with his parents, the family settling in German 
township, this county.  In April 1870 he was united in marriage with Catherine 
Huff of near Bremen and to them were born nine children, three being called in 
the other life in infancy.  With the widow living are six sons and two 
daughters, Simon, George, Elsworth, Benjamin, Drew, Russel, Mrs. Lenora Bodey 
and Mrs. Minnie Zehner.  Henry Snyder was one of the most successful farmers 
of the county, a half section of well tilled, well kept and magnificently 
improved land reaching out in each direction from a splendid farm home 
standing as a monument to his untiring industry and thrift.  For about ten 
years he was engaged in partnership with his brother, Benjamin in the sawmill 
business.  In German township, though in 1870 he retired from this, moving to 
an eighty acre farm 4 1/2 miles east of Argos where he has since lived and 
labored for those he loved.  In 1896 he was elected to represent the third 
district in the county commissioners court and served two terms in this 
capacity, though his highest aim and interest was centered in his farming and 
stock raising and the continual improvement of his country surroundings.  How 
successful he has been and with what well directed efforts these improvements 
went forward as the years passed may be seen in the magnificant home from 
which he was called just when, really, he was in position to enjoy the fruits 
of his toil.  Funeral services were held yesterday at the M.E. church in Argos 
conducted by Rev. D. A. Rodgers and interment at Maple Grove cemetery.
