Notes for Henry Snyder
another source says m. Randolph Co., West Virginia
died in Idaho (i also show him dying in clarkston, wa.?? Perhaps this is the answer: Henry was living in Clarkston and died in the Lewiston, Idaho hospital since I don’t think Clarkston has a hospital ccs??) (my dad remembers him (Milton Lee Snyder) when dad was a boy, growing up in Idaho - Craig Cooper Snyder)
61 Hale and hearty at the age of ninety, he lives in retirement (1937) musing over memories mellowed with age, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Grace Laufer, Lower Asotin Road.
He was born during the Mexican War and nearly half a century before the states of Washington or Idaho were admitted to the union.
he was fourteen when the War Between the States began, April 15, 1861, and did not enroll with the northern forces until nearly three years later.
West Virginia at that time was still a part of Virginia. Tragic was the case of many families living in the north-western portion of the state, where son would be found pitted against father, and brother against brother. Communities during the war, and in most cases for years afterward, were a beehive of espionage. Distrust, cruelty, and suffering stalked them during that period of internecine strife.
The discharge papers of Henry Snyder, signed by Adjutant (Gen.) F. P. Pierpoint, who later became the second governor of West Virginia, showed the near centenarian, who was then ninety, as a member of the Independent Order of Scouts, commissioned by the state but paid, clothed and fed by the United States government.
After the war Henry Snyder married Mary E. Bonner, and lived in Tucker Co. for 30 years.
In 1895 he moved to Ford Creek country, near Orofino, Idaho, homesteaded and continued farming until 1915 when Mrs. Snyder passed away. Later he moved to Clarkston Washington, in 1936, and spent the rest of his life with his daughter Grace. Like all the Snyders, he was strong in body as well as mind
45Enrolled as “Private” on the muster roll of Capt. Sampson Snyder’s Independent Company of Scouts during the Civil War, with the following note to the side:
“Those has Been Standing in Selfe Defense for 2 years, more or less. They had to do it or be robed By the Rebs & Taken off & imprisoned.”
