James D. Snyder

Word was received here last night of the sudden death of James D. Snyder 
of 1315 Fifth Avenue, Altoona.  Mr. Snyder was a conductor on the 
Ebensburg branch for a number of years and made a great many friends who 
well remember him. He was, incidentally, a member of the local lodge of 
Masons.  The death occurred at Martinsburg, to which place Mr. Snyder had 
gone to visit relatives. The deceased was a native of Martinsburg, being a 
son of the late William Snyder of that place. He was about 68 years of 
age. Entering the service of the PRR on November 12, 1871, as a brakeman 
in the passenger service, he discharged the duties of that position until 
July 10, 1874, when he was promoted to the position of conductor.  For a 
number of years he served in this capacity on the Hollidaysburg and 
Morrison's Cove branch and later was transferred to the Pittsburg 
division, being at the time of death, the second oldest passenger 
conductor on that division.
