Snyders Married 60 Years—
‘Wild Bill’ on Honeymoon Itinerary
By MRS. N. I>. K KES, SR.
Special Correspondent
PAGE Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Snyder, who was married Sun
day, September 21, 1898, at
Tecumseh, celebrated their 60th
wedding anniversary here Sunday
—exactly three score years later.
A basket dinner was served at
noon at Fellowship hall of the :
Methodist church following the
regular morning worship in which i
Rev. Lisle Mewmaw officiated.
One hundred thirty-six persons
signed the guestbook during the
reception held from 2:30 until 5
p.m.
Mr. and Mrs. Snyder were mar
ried at Tecumseh September 21,
1898 at the home of the bride's
parents.
Mrs. Snyder’s maiden name
was Nova Henry. She was born
June 24, 1878, at Tecumseh, John
son county. Mr. Snyder was torn
October 5, at Gayla, 111.
Their wedding trip took them
to Omaha for three days for the '
exposition of 1898 regarded in
those days as a world’s fair.
That was the exposition made j
famous by Wild Bill Cody who |
staged a marble-shooting exhibi
tion with his six-shooter.
Mr. Snyder recalls that Wild
Bill tossed a half-dozen marbles
into the air and "blasted them to
smithereens" while the crowd
looked on.
Cody, incidentally, had been a
frequent visitor to Johnson county
where his kinfolks lived and the
Snyders has seen him there.
During Sunday's open-house the
Snyders reminisced with four per
sons who had also been present
for the wedding 60 years ago Mrs.
Cora Jacka of Tecumseh, Mr. ;
Snyder’s sister; Harry D. Snyder
of Inman, a brother; Mrs. Lowell
(Edithl Miller of Gresham Ore..
Mr Snyder's niece who was four
months-old at the time of the wed
ding; Lloyd Henry of Coleridge.
Mre. Snvder’s hrother; and Frank
Snyder of Page.
Mr. Snyder recalled (hat ho had
made the purchase of a pair of
baby shoes for the newly-arrived
baby at the home of his brother,
Walter. The baby is now Mrs. Mil
ler.
‘‘I had the shoes in one pocket
and the marriage license in the
other,” recalled Mr. Snyder. "As
you might suspect, I got them
mixed up at the ceremony”.
The Snyders farmed several
years in Johnson county before
coming to Holt March 1, 1907.
They lived several years on rented
places and then purchased a farm
3*2 miles north of town and three
fourths of a mile west. They built
up the place and the story of their
transforming a forsaken half
section of ground into an improv
ed farm was told in a feature story
in The Fronfier in 1955.
Twelve years ago the Snyders
moved into retirement in town,
moving their house into Page.
After that a second house
was added for their son-in-law

Flight to Freedom Ends in Thicket—
Wayward Steer Runs Out of Gas
An eight-hundred-pound white
face steer gave O'Neill livestock
Market personnel a comical ser
ies of hum steers late Friday af
ternoon.
While being loaded from a
chute into a truck at the sale
yards, the steer bolted the bar
rier and took off on the double.
He raced westward up the Chi
cago & North Western railroad
tracks to the rail station. Mr.
Steer then decided to proceed
northward—still in a big hurry
—up Fourth Street.
He had a green light when he
went through the main downtown
intersection at Fourth and Doug
las sts. He also had livestock
market personnel -Carroll Mc
Kay and Brock Reynoldson in
hat pursuit aboard two saddle
horses. The big concern was that i
some pedestrian or some child
in the path of the mad steer
might get hurt.
Mr. Steer went west a few
feet at the postoffice corner, and j
then darted northward across j
the St. Mary’s academy play
ground, passing between St. Pat- !
rick’s church and the rectory. J
Finally, near the Roy Spindler
residence on North Fourth street
a half mile north of the main
intersection and 1 vi miles from
the point of liberation- the steer
ran out of gas in a thicket.
McKay let fly the rope and j
McKay and Reynoldson closed
in for the tie up.
By this time Police Chief
Chris McGinn. The Frontier’s
cameraman and a dozen people
who had emptied out of stores
and offices had taken up chase
and were on hand for proceed
ings at the end of the trail.
Mr Stepr had hoofed it up
North Fourth street to the ac- j
companiment of the 6 o’clock
siren.
The steer was returned to the
market in a pickup truck own
ed by Norbert Uhl. Uhl had pick
ed up the trail when he saw the
steer hot-footing it up the tracks >
with horsemen close behind.
Tne puffing and panting steer
called it a day in the bushes. No
body got hurt. A oily good show,
it was!
End of the trail for a big steer that rampaged up O’Neill’s busy Fourth st. to the accompaniment
of the 6 o’clock siren. Carrol McKay did the roping.—The Frontier Photo.
