[SKINNER, CHARLES CALVIN "CAL"]
Maryville Tribune (Maryville, Missouri), Thursday, July 10, 1902
C. [harles] C. [alvin] Skinner, employed on the farm of C. D. Hooker, southwest of Maryville, was drowned about 2:30 Wednesday afternoon in the White Cloud creek.
White Cloud is in a swollen condition from recent rains and is at present bank full.
A steer had gotten across the creek and Skinner and another man started to swim across after it. Hal Hooker, who was with them, advised against it, but the first man went across and called to Skinner to follow. The creek at the point where they were was running at a high rate, but Skinner plunged and started.
When nearly across he was seized with cramps. His companion tossed a stick to him but when the drowning man grasped it his grip was so tight that the stick snapped in his hand. Hal Hooker then attempted t throw his whip so Skinner could catch it but the whip was too light.
The current was so swift and the man sank so quickly that neither of the onlookers attempted to go into the stream after him.
A large party from Maryville went down to the scene of the accident and spent Wednesday afternoon trying to find the body but without avail.
Skinner leaves a wife and six children. He was a man of from 45 to 50 years of age. He had been employed at the Hooker farm about a year.

Died, at Sylvania, Dade county Mo. on January 27, Earnest Slates, aged nineteen years, three months and twelve days.
The deceased was born in Carroll Co., Ohio, October 15, 18[67]. In early childhood had a severe attack of fever which settled in his hip and left him crippled for life. Three years ago, moved with his father to Dade county.
For the past year his health has been very poor. A few weeks ago he visited this county thinking a change might do him good. But he sank rapidly and returned home only to die—living but a week.
The night before he died he confessed his Savior and found peace, dying in triumph of living faith.
The sorrowing parents and friends have the sympathy of a multitude of friends in this community.
Mr. Slates has had more than his share of afflictions. He says his neighbors have been very kind and rendered every help possible.   W.

UPPER ELKHORN – By request we make a short notice of the death of one of our former citizens, Mrs. Rebecca Slates, wife of Joseph Slates, who resided in Polk township some 12 or 13 years and we were well acquainted with her and a better woman in sickness we never saw. Rebeccas Slates died at her home at Chatauqua [Chautauqua], Chatauqua [Chautauqua] county, Kansas, on the 18th day of April 1887, a little after noon, of congestive chill. She was only sick about 35 hours and died in a second chill. Oh what a shock on our old comrade and family. Surely a good woman has fallen and deep is the sorrow of husband and orphans. She was a member of the M. E. Church for many years and also belonged to the Daughters of Rebecca of the Odd Fellows and was buried by them in an appropriate and solemn manner in the presence of the largest funeral procession ever known at that place. The funeral text was First Epistle St. John 3rd chapter and second verse. Her age was 44 years, 3 months and 29 days. The many friends and relatives in this county will hear with sorrow this sad news. Trust in God and meet her in that better land where sickness and sorrow never come.

We are called to chronicle one of the sad incidents of humanity. Just about the closing of the concert Mr. Cooper Slaughter who took quite sick Friday quietly passed away and not one-eighth of a mile from the school house where some 300 persons were making merry and having a good time while Mrs. S. was alone with two little children to bid farewell to her bosom companion. This was a sad affair but it seems as though no one thought of any such thing, or of course there would have been some one there. It was thought the body would be kept till some of the friends could arrive from Ohio, but it is impossible and the funeral will take place Monday at 10 o'clock at Champaign, after which the body will be buried in the Wilcox graveyard.

His mortal remains were followed to the Swinford cemetery by a large concourse of relatives and friends. For 44 years a meek and lowly disciple of Jesus Christ, in whom he placed implicit faith. He showed to the world that there is a blessed reality in the religion and eternity of Jesus.

Funeral of Mary Smith.
We were called to pay our last respects to Sister Mary, wife of Lorenzo H. Smith, living two miles northwest of Clyde, Nodaway county, Mo. She left a beautiful home, a weeping husband and children. She died with dropsical and bronchial trouble. She was born Nov. 7, 1849, in Steuben county, New York, moved to Gallia county, Ohio, in the year 1855, from there to Nodaway county, Mo., in 1871. In the year 1871 she was married to Lorenzo H. [emphill] Smith. They both joined the Church of Christ in May 1871. She was taken down sick the last week in November 1888 and has been compelled to sit in her chair most all the time day and night since. Saturday, March 16, she said to her husband, who was always at her call, "If I have to suffer this way two or three days I hope the Lord will call me home, where I can get some rest." Friday, March 22d, she looked at her husband very wistfully and leaned over and kissed him, not saying a word. After a while she said, "Isn't this too hard?" Her husband, with his heart strings almost broken, tried to cheer her up. How it fills the heart with pain to see our loved ones suffer so! After trying all the skill he could find, at last the Lord called her spirit away. As her dear husband saw her lifeless form, the thought of, "Gone, gone! Left me and her sweet little babes," almost melted his heart. He tried to fill all her requests. March the 25th she asked that her funeral be preached in her home and also that Rev. N. J. Nicholson of Gentry county preach the sermon. It was done as requested. She would loved to have kissed her father and all her relatives goodbye and said to them, "meet me in heaven." Her husband put her away in good order. There was a smile on her face. She looked as though she had read the testament that was in her hands until she had fallen asleep and was dreaming she was enjoying the land of rest and the company of angels she had just read about. To see the book in her hands and the smile on her face seemed to say:" This Book has been my stay in life, it has been my friend in death. Her life needs no comment. The house being more than filled with her friends, the train of vehicles and the tears shed over her by her neighbors, tell enough. The husband returns his thanks to the neighbors and friends for their kindness. Bros. Maxwell and Craig were there with a helping hand, as usual. They have read (Eccl. 7:4) where it says, "the heart of the wise is in the house of mourning," and they let their hearts lead where their hands can do something.

DIED, Monday, April 29, at 2:30 a. m., at her home, Mary L. Smith, aged 40 years.
Mary L. [ousia] Henshaw was born in Steuben county, New York, November 7, 1849, moved with her father's family to Gallie [Gallia] county, Ohio, December 25, 1855, married L. [orenzo] H. [emphill] Smith March 25, 1871, and moved with him to Nodaway county, Missouri, where she has lived ever since. Deceased was the mother of six children, three girls and three boys, all of whom are now living except the oldest boy. She [was] taken sick the last week in November, with dropsy and bronchial troubles, and had to sit in rocking chair nearly all the time, day and night. Her sufferings were great, but she bore them well. Thou she knew she must die, she oftimes craved the moment to come when she would be called home where she could get rest. The middle part of her sickness she hated to leave her children and kind husband, who could be found by the side of her rocking chair almost at any time day or night administering to her wants. It seems that everything was done that could be to help her and the best medical skill was procured, but to no avail.
Mary had been a devoted Christian ever since her early girlhood. She was a noble wife, a kind and loving mother and the idol of a large circle of friends. She was one of the best of women, blessed with a kind and loving disposition, she strew the pathway of those around her as if it were with roses. Sad, indeed, must be her husband and motherless children to see her whom they loved so well cold in death, but the fortitude by which she met her death must be indeed consoling to them. Though almost in the prme of life and blessed with many near and dear friends, Mary calmly waited and resigned herself to the will of the all wise Ruler.
It is hard to think that one so good and true must die, that all that is near and dear here on earth must be parted, but all hope of escaping death is taken away by the whole history of man, for in the long records of thousands of years none escaped the icy message. No law is more universal than that of death. It omits no bird, no insect, nor man, the most minute creature, which ony the microscope can detect, is seen by this destroyer, and to the same destroyer the loftiest king must bend. . . .

Mr. John Snapp departed this life at his home, in White Cloud township, last Friday morning, December 13, 1889, at six o'clock.

A Prominent Citizen Gone. Sudden Death of Judge Frederick D. Snyder.
On Monday morning our city was shocked and surprised to hear of the death of Judge Frederick D. Snyder. Very many of our citizens did not know he was sick and very few that he was dangerously ill. In fact it was not until Sunday that those near and dear to him realized he was in danger.
Judge Snyder had been feeling badly for more than two weeks before he died. He tried his last case on Tuesday of last week but he should have been in bed and everyone remarked how badly he looked. On Wednesday he was confined to the house but he did not take to his bed until Thursday. He was very sick from the first, his disease being typhoid fever. He grew worse rapidly and on Sunday his physician gave up hope but none thought the end so near. He was delirious all day and during the night. About 11 o'clock he went to sleep and seemed to rest more comfortable until a little after three when his heavy breathing gave place to more natural breathing and the watchers thought him better. At twenty minutes past three he moved his head a little to one side. The watchers went to move him a little and noticed he was quivering in death and before the family could be called he was gone.
Judge Fredrick D. [iveley] Snyder was the youngest child of George S. and Elizabeth Snyder and was born in Washington township, Darke county, Ohio, August 21, 1838. He sprang from Revolutionary stock. His father was a soldier in the late war in the Thirty-seventh Iowa. It was known as the "gray beard regiment" on account of the advanced age of the men composing it.
Judge Snyder's mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Diveley. She died when he was but a year old and Frederick was brought up by his grandfather, Fredrick Diveley. As soon as he was old enough, young Snyder began to teach school. In 1869 he migrated to Linn county, Iowa and read law in the office of John Mitchell at Marion. He was admitted to the bar May 11, 1861.
On the 11th of April 1861, he was married to Anna M. Kellogg and through all these years she has made him a faithful and affectionate wife, a helpmate in every sense of the word. From his marriage to 1865 he taught school and practiced law. In February 1865, he became one of the editors and proprietors of the Jackson county Sentinel at Maquoketa, Iowa. He sold out the paper in about four months and continued teaching and the practice of law, at LaClaire, Scott county, Iowa, until April 1870, when he moved to this city, which he has ever since made his home. Here he has led a busy life and he served in many places of public trust. In 1817 he was elected justice of the peace of Polk township.
At the general election in 1876, he was elected Public Administrator of Nodaway county and served the term of three years. In the fall of 1878 he was elected Probate Judge of Nodaway county and served the term of four years.
Up to this time Judge Snyder had been very successful in business but after his term as Probate Judge had expired, he bought the Maryville Times, paying for it $5,000. This investment proved a bad one and after he had held the paper about two years losing on it all the time, he gave it up to his creditors for $1500. Although the blow was a severe one and the Judge was nearly ruined financially, no one heard a complaint. He resumed his practice of the law and went to work to mend his broken fortunes. Last spring he was elected Justice of the Peace for Polk township, and being the only Justice in Maryville, the office was a good one and fortune seemed to smile once more on the Judge. But death came and now all is over.
Judge Snyder was very active in several secret societies and held high positions in all. He had filled every office in the Good Templer and Odd Fellow lodges. He was one of the most active members of the A. O. U. W. and at the time of his death was Grand Guard of the Grand Lodge of Select Knights of the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri ranking in the order as a Brigadier General. Judge Snyder was also an active Mason.
The Judge leaves three children, Laura, the wife of J. B. Riggin of this city, Harry, a little boy of ten years of age, and Fred, a boy of four years of age. The deceased was a leading member of the Christian Church, having been a member for twenty-seven years. He was active in his church duties and his brethren will greatly miss him. Always having the comfort of his family at heart and realizing he might be taken away, he always carried an insurance on his life for their benefit, and leaves $6100 insurance for their benefit, of this $2000 is in the A. O. U. W. $1000 in the Grand and $2000 in the Supreme of the S. I. A. O. U. W. He also has $1000 in the Tripple Alliance and $100 in the Odd Fellow's beneficiary of this city. Mr. Snyder was a very active man and besides attending to his other duties was the Maryville correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, Kansas City Times and St. Joseph Gazette.
His funeral services took place at the Christian Church at 3 o'clock p. m. Tuesday. he was buried by the Free Masons with all the solemnity of the burial services of that order. I. V. McMillen, Esq., conducted the ceremonies.
The White Cloud Lodge, I. O. O. F. and the A. O. U. W. and S. K. of the A. O. U. W. were in force.
The pall bearers were Charles Hyslop, John Edwards, J. G. Grems, James Todd, W. W. Ramsay and George Snapp.
Rev. Bone, of the M. E. Church, South, read the 115 Psalm. Prayer was offered by Rev. T. M. S. Kenney, of the Baptists Church. Rev. N. E. Cory then took for his text the 15 verses of the 116th Psalm: "Precious in the Lord is the death of his saints." The reverend speaker said there were four things that every man must meet: Life, Death, Judgment, and Eternity. And from these four heads he preached a sermon that moved the hearts of his vast audience and caused them to remember that all must die and then the judgement and eternity.
After the sermon, the vast audience took the farewell look of the remains and then the long procession wended its way to Miriam cemetery where all that was mortal of Fredrick D. Snyder was laid at rest.
Thus has one more of the busy, active men of Maryville passed away. May we emulate his virtues and remember that we, like him, may be cut down in the midst of an active life.
To the widow and fatherless children, the sympathy of all will be given. The way now looks dark before them. May the goodness and mercy of the Father above brighten it.

Death of Judge Snyder. He Passes Peacefully Away After a Brief Illness.
It is with profound sorrow we chronicle the death of Judge Frederick D. Snyder, which sad event occurred at his home, in this city, last Monday morning between two and three o'clock, after a rather brief illness. He had been complaining of feeling badly for two or three weeks but kept up and attended to his duties until the Thursday before his death when he had to yield and take to his bed. The fatal disease was typhoid fever. Last Monday morning when the news of his demise spread on our streets it was a surprise to nearly all of our citizens. Many had not heard of his sickness, and those who had learned of it, did not know that he was critically ill. Judge Snyder had been a prominent and highly useful citizen of this community for many years and his death is a public loss. We take the following historical sketch from the "Nodaway County History."
"Frederick D. Snyder was the youngest child of George S. and Elizabeth Snyder and was born in Darke county, Ohio, August 21, 1838. His paternal great grandfather was Anthony Snyder, a soldier of the Revolution and his grandfather was John Snyder, a soldier of 1812. Judge Snyder's mother died September 13, 1839, when he was but little more than a year old and his home from that date until October 13, 1856, was with his maternal grandfather, Fredrick Dively, about which date he commenced teaching school in Darke county, Ohio. He continued teaching there until the spring of 1860, when he came west and commenced reading law in the office of John Mitchell at Marion, Linn county, Iowa. At a term of the district court held at Marian, Iowa, May 15, 1861, he was admitted to the bar before Hon. Wm. E. Miller, since Chief Justice of the Supreme court of Iowa. On the 11th of April 1861, he was married to Julia Anna Maria Kellogg, of Marion, Iowa. He continued in the teacher's profession and practiced law as occasion offered until February 6, 1865, when he became one of the publishers and editors of the Jackson County Sentinel at Maquoketa, Iowa, which he disposed of in about four months thereafter, and after teaching in the winter of 1865-6 he entered regularly on the practice of law at Le Claire, Scott county, Iowa. April 22, 1870, he removed to Maryville and engaged in the practice of law. April 25, 1871, he was elected secretary of the Board of Education of Maryville, which position he held four years and a half. June 4, 1872, he was elected justice of the peace for Polk township and was re-elected April 4, 1876. November 7, 1876, he was elected public administrator of Nodaway county and served until December 23, 1879. He was elected Judge of the probate court November 5, 1875, and held that office four years. In addition to these positions of honor and trust, Judge Snyder has been a correspondent of several newspapers and at the time of his death was the Maryville correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, Chicago Times, Kansas City Times and St. Joseph Gazette. He has been secretary of twenty different literary and other societies, including the state convention of the Christian churches of Missouri, at St. Joseph, in August 1872. He had held every office in the Good Templar's and Odd Fellows' lodges, was a representative to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the state at St. Louis, in May 1879, and held a commission as special deputy grand master for the state, under Grand Master Gregory, for the year ending May 1880. He belonged also to the Masonic fraternity and was a prominent member of the A. O. U. W. order, having been master of the Industry Lodge No. 78 of this city. At the time of his death Judge Snyder was Grand Guard of the Grand Legion of the Grand jurisdiction of Missouri, A. O. U. W., ranking Brigadier General of the 2d Division of select Knights A. O. U. W. He was elected justice of the peace in Polk township last spring. He was editor and proprietor of the Maryville Times for about two years.
Mr. Snyder met with some financial reverses a few years since and was just getting in good shape to build up again financially. He was very industrious and in fact after his illness had come upon him, devoted days to the discharge of his duties as justice of the peace when he ought to have been in bed. His death, when it came, was easy and free from pain. He was man noted for sensibility of honor, fidelity and principle. He was never heard to say aught against his fellow-men. He was a good husband, a kind and loving father, and upright, pure man and useful and exemplary citizen. His devoted wife and family have the sympathy of all in their sore affliction.
Judge Snyder had the following life insurance: In the subordinate lodge A. O. U. W. $2,000; in the Grand Division Select Knights $1,000; in the Supreme division Select Knights $2,000; in the Triple Alliance $1,000; in the Odd Fellows Mutual of Maryville $100.
He leaves a wife and three children, the eldest being Mrs. John B. Riggin. There are two boys at home—Harry, aged about ten years and Freddie, aged about six years.
The funeral obsequies were held at three o'clock Tuesday, July 19. Nodaway Lodge No. 470 A. F. & A. M. took charge of the remains. The Select Knights A. O. U. W. of this city and also of Hopkins were in the procession and the subordinate lodge of Odd Fellows at this place. At the church the 116th psalm was read by Rev. D. F. Bone, pastor of the Maryville M. E. church South. A fervent prayer was offered by Elder T. M. S. Kenney, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city. Elder N. E. Cory, pastor of the Christian church, preached an able and eloquent sermon from the word s found in the 116 psalm: "Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints." Judge Snyder had been a member of the Christian church for twenty-seven years and his pastor stated that during a few conscious moments, some hours before his death, he was heard praising the Lord for his goodness. The choir sang several beautiful pieces. Among the number, by request, they sang "Jesus, Lover of my Soul," and "Jerusalem, My Happy Home," which were favorites with the Judge. The church would not hold near all, the lodge members and many other men remaining on the outside so that the ladies could be seated. At the conclusion of the sermon the vast throng, as well as the family and relatives, took the last look at the familiar face and the tears coursed down many a cheek. The procession was then formed, in accordance with the direction of Judge I. V. McMillan, as marshal, and marched slowly and solemnly to Miriam cemetery where the impressive Masonic burial ceremonies were gone through with, conducted by Rev. Kenney. And thus mortality was consigned to Mother Earth from whence it came but the immortal spark had gone back to the God who gave it. Judge Snyder was held in high esteem and all realize that a good man has been taken from us and the entire community sympathizes deeply with the bereaved family.
