Clare Sentinal - 22 Jan 1943
WILLIAM SNEAR VICTIM OF HEART ATTACK JANUARY 13
Drops Dead in Road When Returning Home From Clare

Relatives and friends of William SNEAR, for many years a resident of Wise Twp, were
shocked 
Wednesday of last week to learn of his sudden death while he was returning from
Clare to his home 
southeast of the city. Mr. SNEAR had been shopping in Clare and rode home with Floyd
TUBBS who lives 
5 1/2 miles southeast of here, and while walking from there to his nearby home
suffered an attack of 
coronary thrombosis and dropped dead in the road.

William SNEAR, son of Harmon and Connie SNEAR was born April 27, 1865 in Erie
County, PA and 
departed this life January 13, 1943 after a heart attack at the age of 77y, 9m, and
17d. When he was a 
small boy he moved with his parents to Wise Twp in Isabella County, where he has
since resided.

In 1908 he was united in marriage to Cora ROWLING of Ashley, MI and to this union
were born four 
children: Mirlie of Clare, Roy, now in the US Service, and Tressa and Alfred, who
preceded him in death. 

Besides his wife and two sons he leaves to mourn his departure four grandchildren; 1
brother, Frank 
SNEAR of Clare; two sisters, Mrs. Lila WOOD of Farwell, and Mrs. Carrie HERSEY of
Oregon; and a host of 
relatives and friends. 

Funeral services were held at the Loomis Gospel Mission at 2:00 Saturday afternoon
with Reverend J. 
Wesley TEALE officiating and interment in the Loomis Cemetery.
