One more veteran of the Civil War joined the great army of the beyond when William Snyder died at 6:30 at his home, 211 Third street, after an illness of four months. He had been failing in health for over six years due to the shock of having passed through the terrible ordeal of the flood of 1913.

He married Mary Rodenheber on February 14, 1867, celebrating the golden anniversary of their wedding two years ago.
He is survived by his widow, two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Wahmoff of Piqua and Mrs. Elizabeth Ingle of Dayton; four daughters, Mrs. Lillie Paxton of this city, Mrs. Louise Wolf of Dayton, Mrs. Susie Garst of Lucasville, Mrs. Bertha Niswander of Colton, O; two sons, Ward Snyder and Warren Snyder, both of this city.
