Notes for Floyd Gordon Snyder
Floyd Gordon Snyder, 87, Weippe
Floyd Gordon Snyder, formerly of Weippe passed away Wednesday, July 20, 2011, at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center after battling a long and extended illness.
Floyd was born to Denver and Sylvia (Teed) Snyder at the family home on the Weippe Prairie May 20, 1924. He was a fun-loving and mischievous boy who was raised in a family of eight children (five boys and three girls). Floyd was eight years old when his father passed away, and his mother passed away when he was eleven years old. The close-knit family of children managed to stay together with the help of their grandmother, Lillian Teed.
During those years, Floyd was educated in the Weippe schools. When he was fourteen years old and a freshman in high school, he worked nights in a lumber mill on a green chain and went to school by day. Floyd was a proud member of Weippe's first six-man football team and he played on the school's basketball team.
Floyd married his high school sweetheart, Barbara (Wells) Snyder, May 27, 1944. During their years together, Floyd worked on their ranch to develop a herd of Hereford cattle. He also worked 20 years in the logging industry for Frank Fromelt after which he continued working for various other logging operations. In off-seasons, he worked at various locations as an operating engineer through the Operating Engineer's Local 370 running heavy equipment. In 1973 the couple sold their ranch and moved to Weippe where they still own their home.
Floyd loved basketball. He attended referee classes and served as a referee for high school games. He also played for several years on Weippe and Pierce town teams. For three years, he coached basketball to a group of boys from their fifth grade year through eighth grade. This group of boys later went on to win the state championship in their league. Floyd was really proud of the boys' accomplishment.
Floyd enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing, team roping, going to auction sales, and serving as a livestock project 4-H leader. He never knew a stranger, and he always enjoyed visiting with other people. He also enjoyed listening to music provided by family members. Family was very important to Floyd.
Surviving Floyd is his wife, Barbara, of 67 years; his daughter Gwen (Burton) Greenfield and her husband Vic; his grandchildren Ted Burton, Kim Burton, and Russ Burton and his wife Elena; and his one great-grandchild, Aleska Burton. Also surviving Floyd are two sisters, Marie Vanderpool and Lillie Thiessen and her husband Gordon; numerous nieces, one nephew, and numerous cousins. Floyd was preceded in death by his son, Roger Snyder; his parents; his brothers, Robert, Bert, Ellis, and Louie; and his sister, Mary.
The family would like to sincerely thank the doctors, nurses, and caregivers who provided Floyd care during his long illness. A special thanks to Dr. Gregory Buratto, his doctor of many years.
Funeral services will be held at11:00 am. Monday, July 25, at Pine Hills Funeral Chapel in Orofino. A graveside service will take place at the Weippe Cemetery followed by a potluck dinner at the White Pine Rebekah Lodge in Weippe.

269It sounds like we are in the same family line. I know the names of Carr and Bonner have always been mentioned as distant relatives.
Denver Snyder lived in Weippe, ID. He married Sylvia Teed. They had 8 children. Mary, Robert, Ellis, Burt, Louie, Marie, Floyd, and Lilly. Only Marie, Floyd, and Lilly are still living. My father was Louie. He passed away in 1999. Out of all of those boys, only Floyd and Burt had sons to pass the Snyder name on to, and they only had one son each.
All except Mary,the children stayed in Idaho, pretty close to where they were born and raised.
From what my Dad told me, his father, Denver, died at a young age. I think he was around 45. My dad was only 14. His mother died only a few years later so their "Granny Teed" raised the family.
This Snyder family came from Elgin, W.V. The county was Dryfork.
