Ed M. Snyder Dead
Monday, November 4.
Rev. E. M. Snyder was in Pleasanton to look after some business for his
sister, Mrs. Nettie Rice, who is now in Eldorado Springs, Mo. with her
sister, Mrs. H. Laflin. He motored to Pleasanton from Eldorado Springs
that morning and spent about an hour with his old Battlefield
schoolmate, E. H. Jones, and wife; in the evening going to Blue Mound
and spent the night with his daughter, Mrs. Frank Brooks, and family,
leaving the next morning for Altus, Okla. to spend the winter with a
daughter and son. In the Fort Scott Tribune of Friday night was
published the following Associated Press news item, which was a shock to
his friends whom he had visited a few days before:

"Altus, Okla.; Nov. 8 (AP) - The body of E.M. Snyder, 76, a Methodist
minister, was found in the north fork of the Red River, east of Altus,
last night. His car had apparently crashed through the side of a bridge.
He was on his way to Altus from Eldorado Springs, Mo. to spend the
winter with a son and daughter. He was alone. The body will be taken to
Pleasanton, Kan. for burial."

Saturday night the remains, accompanied by his daughter and son, Mrs.
Linnie Hicks and Wilbur Snyder of Altus, Oklahoma, were taken to the
home of Gregg Osborne. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock in Battlefield school house where as a boy he had attended
school, conducted by a Methodist Protestant minister of Centerville, an
old friend, in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and old
friends who had gathered to pay last respects to a man who had made the
world better by having lived in it. The remains were then taken to
Battlefield Cemetery and laid to rest by the side of loved ones who had
preceded him. He spent the early part of his life on the farm but the
past twenty years was a Methodist Protestant minister. Edward M. Snyder,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Snyder, early pioneers of Linn County, was born
near Danville, Ill., August 16, 1853; died near Altus, Okla. November 6,
1929; age 76 years, 2 months and 21 days. At the age of thirteen years
he moved from Illinois to Kansas, locating in Battlefield District.
About 1873 he was united in marriage to Miss Mariam Perry, a neighbor
girl. To this union three children were born: Mrs. Frank Brooks of Blue
Mound; Mrs. Linnie Hicks of Altus, Okla.; and Fred Snyder of Washington.
About 1883 his first wife passed away and in 1885 or 1886 he was united
in marriage to Miss Ellen [sic] Osborne. To this union two sons were
born, Ira of Enterprise, Oregon and Wilbur of Altus, Okla. Besides the
two daughters and two [three?] sons, he is survived by two sisters,
Mesdames Nettie Rice of Lance Creek, Wyoming, now visiting her sister
Mrs H. Laflin of Eldorado Springs, Mo. and several grandchildren. --A
