Snyder, Hamilton L. (30 NOV 1845 – 24 Oct 1918)

Hamilton L. Snyder died on Thursday morning of last week and in his passing the county loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens. He came to Clark County 46 years ago, and settled in the town of York, living there until 13 years ago when he and his wife came to Neillsville to make their home. Deceased was born at Granville, Wis., Nov. 30, 1845, and was married to Miss Ella Bailey in 1866. Three sons were born to them, two of whom survive their father, Frank having died last January. The two sons who remain to comfort the bereaved wife are Albion and Loren of Duluth. Two brothers, one sister and eleven grandchildren also survive Mr. Snyder.

Deceased was a man who had so lived his life that his death was a matter of deep and sincere regret on the part of all his many friends. He was a conscientious friend and neighbor and an upright and industrious man. He was laid to rest on Saturday morning, private services being held at the home and being conducted by Rev. Colman.
