A Philadelphia papers says: The body of a man found in the 
Delaware River, at the foot of Vine street, has been 
identified as that of Stephen G. Snare, fifty, 531 North 
19th street.

He was an agent for the Industrial Health, Accident and Life 
Insurance Company, Broad and Arch Streets.

His body which was taken from the river yesterday, was 
identified to-day by Jacob Iran, Superintendent of that 
Company.
According to Iran, Snare live in Atlantic City, where he 
had a wife and two children.  Snare, who boarded with his 
brother, had collections to make for insurance premiums 
among the stevedores along the river front. It had been his 
custom to do this every Friday.  Iran scouted the intimation 
Snare committed suicide.

Snare was a former resident of this place, where his late 
father, George Snare, was for many years a leading business 
man. He left here a number of years ago.

The body of Snare was brought to this place on Saturday evening 
and is at the morgue of the funeral director.  It will be 
interred at Greenmount Cemetery.  He had been lodging at the 
home of his brother, Thomas, on North Nineteenth street, 
Philadelphia, and left there on Thursday to write some insurance 
among the longshoremen on the Delaware River front.  He was not 
seen afterwards until the body was recovered from the river the 
following day.  That it was not a case of murder was indicated 
that his watch, money, books and other property were still in 
his pockets.

Thomas Snare, the brother, says Stephen suffered from attacks of 
Vertigo and it is his theory that he had been so attacked while 
on the wharf or vessel and had fallen overboard.

The dead man married Miss Anna Good, a sister of Policeman 
Winfield Good, of this place, when both were employed in the 
place of business of E. Rosenberg, then at the corner of Market 
and Church Streets.


*Researcher note:  The burial of Stephen G. Snare, is buried at 
Oakland Cemetery.  It is surmised that Greenmount Cemetery is 
listed in error.
