The funeral will be at the Evenson Chapel at 10 Monday morning with internment beside his wife in the IOOF Cemetery. He was born in Woodbury, Pennsylvania, September 2, 1859, the third child in a family of eight children, and the last survivor. He moved to Virden, South Dakota in 1886 and was in the banking business there. He was married in Alma, Wisconsin in 1891. Mrs. Snowden died in 1941. He often told how he went to the world's fair in Chicago in 1893 and saw the Washington exhibit and made up his mind that he would dispose of his interests in the middle West and come to this state. In 1897 he came West on a Northern Pacific train, going to Tacoma. Floods delayed the train here and he came up town and liked the appearance of Ellensburg, so a year later came back here and went into the banking business. He was president of the Bank of Ellensburg for nearly a third of a century, selling out to his former partner's son Fred Ross and O. A. Feechter. The bank had become a national bank for some time before he sold out in 1930. The bank closed during the depression. Mr. Snowden had been president of the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce and was for many years an active community worker. He bought a house of Seventh and Sprague in 1900 and remodeled it. It remained the family home until his death, his daughter Mrs. Miriam Bradshaw, living there with him. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge. He had been in comparatively good health until the last few months. He had only been in the hospital nine days. He leaves three sons James, Herbert and Richard an a daughter Mrs. Bradshaw, all resident of Ellensburg and ten grandchildren. Ellensburg Daily Record, October 1, 1955 (Front Page)
