Clare Sentinel, September 9, 1910
Herman Snear was born in Germany 3 July 1836 and came to this country in 1857, 
settling in Erie, PA. In 1861 he was married to Miss Coney NITZEL who was also 
a native of Germany. Their married life extended over a period of 39 years, 
the wife dying in Oct 1900. In 1867 they moved to Michigan, settling in 
Tuscola Co, where they resided until 1883 when they came to Wise, Isabella Co, 
where they lived until the death summons came. 

To them were born ten children, six boys and four girls. Three of the boys, 
Charlie, Joseph and John, died before the parents. There still survive three 
sons, George, William and Frank, who reside in Wise. All the daughters are 
still living: Mrs. Wm. LEOSH and Mrs. James HERSEY of Wise, Mrs. Len WOOD of 
Gilmore, and Mrs. Wm. JOHNSON of Farwell. 

Mr. SNEAR was a member of the GAR, having volunteered for his adopted country 
in 1861 and followed the flag for three years. 

Since the death of his wife, he had resided with his son George. On Sunday
last he seemed in his usual health and had spent part of the day visiting at 
another son's. When he returned home he lay down upon the bed and was there 
found dead, the end coming evidently without a struggle.


The funeral was held at the ME Church in Loomis, services being conducted by 
Rev. PARSONS of Coleman, and interment in cemetery at Loomis. The very large 
attendance at the funeral attested the worth of the deceased and the high 
esteem in which he was held.
