Improves Farm in ' 1907 for $1,200 ; (Continued from page 1) . planned a reception for new l comers in the community. The > Snyders left home at 6 o’clock i in the morning to spend the day t at the Leahy ranch and a nearby • lake on the river. Somebody [ owned a boat and the rig was : kept busy by those who enjoyed l boating. Some of the men went down the river about a mile while some of the women (including Mrs. . Snyder) stayed behind and fish ■ ed. A group in a boat was having fun when Mrs. Snyder noticed that Roy Snyder and the little Sampson girl had become fright ened. The two got out. Mrs. Sny der observed that the boat still . appeared to be overloaded. Suddenly, she heard a wom an scream, the boat turned botto inside up in the water, and there was no sign of life. No one knew what to do. The men were gone. Mrs. Snyder re sorted to a shrill, trilling sound she often used to summon her husband to dinner from any place on the farm. It was about noon and it was thought the men (even if they . . Mt Mr. and Mrs. Frank Snyder on their wedding day . . . crit ics considered her skirt “en tirely too short.” heard the summons) would con sider it a call to lunch. Mr. Snyder, who was with the men downstream, heard his wife’s shrieking and correctly in terpreted that something was wrong. They hurried back and panic broke out anew as nobody could figure out just what to do. The woman who had screamed the first alarm had stayed in her tracks and kept a “fix” on the spot in the water where the boat upset. Mr. Drum was a diver, but his long, hard run had made it im possible for him to go in until he had regained his breath. Someone suggested a fish hook be fastened to a heavy pole. This was done and a body was brouhgt to the surface. Other bodies were recovered later. It was a sad “reception” day. Four had drowned in one of the worst tragedies since settlers had come to the country. The bodies of Mr. Sampson, Sampson baby, Mrs. Hollie Tracy and Allie Drum were mute testi mony of the misguided idea of overloading a boat built for two. The scream, the capsizing, the agonizing moments of helpless ness, and the subsequent events of the day changed Mrs. Snyder’s dark hair to snow white. The Snyders became the par ents of one daughter, Zola, who married George Fink. Zola died in 1946, leaving two children— Ross of Wichita, Kans., and Lois (who is now Mrs. Thomas Sin nard). Ross and Zola have been “very close” to their grandpar ents down through the years. The Snyders moved a second house onto the farm when the son-in-law and daughter came to farm the land. In 1946 the Snyders moved their house into town and have lived in it comfortably in their retirement.
