Snyder - son of George - 1892 - Montgomery InGenWeb Project

A sad and fatal accident occurred Saturday evening at Snyder’s Mill, several miles west of Crawfordsville, near Waynetown. George Snyder lives with his father, the owner of the mill, and until Saturday was the father of a bright four year old boy. Saturday afternoon the little fellow left the house stating that he was going to the mill. An hour elapsed and as he had not returned someone went after him. He had not been at the mill at all and the family greatly alarmed, instituted search. It was not long before an infant hand was discovered protruding out of the water down against the guards of the mill race and in a few moments the lifeless body of the little child was drawn out. He had endeavored to cross the race on a plank and in some way had fallen in and met his fate. The entire family was prostrated by the calamity.  Three years ago Mr. Snyder had a little child burn to death at Lafayette, its clothing having taken fire.
