FARMER FOUND DEAD.
\nJohn Thomas Snyder, a Bachelor Who Died Alone Near Barnard, Dead Two Days When Discovered
\nBARNARD, Mo., Jan. 20. John Thomas Snyder, fifty years of age, a bachelor who lived alone on a farm a mile and a half from Barnard, was found dead late yesterday afternoon in his home by a hunter. Tobe Bear. Snyder was found upon his knees, fully dressed, with his overcoat cap and glasses on. On the floor was a filled but unlighted pipe, and in one hand an unlighted match. One hand of the dead man rested upon a chair and the other on the bed. Snyder’s mules were in the barn, harnessed and ready for work.<\/p>\n
It is probably that Snyder had been dead two days when Bear, one of his friends, discovered him. The dead man had been a sufferer from diabetes and it is supposed that this caused his death. He had been in St. Joseph Tuesday for treatment.<\/p>\n
Snyder’s sister, Mrs. Harvey Goforth, lives at Bolckow, where the body was taken. The funeral will be held at that place tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Coroner J. H. Todd of Maryville was notified and went to Bolckow today to view the body.<\/p>\n
