There is a record of an obituary for the son of L.W. Snyder who died January 2, 1924 in the Mt. Pleasant Times, dated January 10, 1924 on page 8, column 4. Buried in Pine River cemetery there is a Richard Eugene SNYDER, born 9-29-1923 and died January 4, 1924. Appears to be the same person, and a son of Lawrence and Lelah. Was he perhaps a twin of Lawrence, who also appears to have been born in 1923?

1-10-1924 MT. PLEASANT TIMES, MI; page 6: "Rolland Center - Our community extends their sympathy to our postmaster, Laurence Snyder and wife because of the death of their baby, Richard, aged three months and one week. He was as well as could be in the evening and the next morning Mrs. Snyder found him dead. He is indeed an angel gone to await his loved ones in the better world." (Courtesy of LaVonne Bennett).
