DEATH NOTICE: Brown County World - August 21, 1908
On Monday afternoon, about 6:30, Wm. Snook, while hauling lumber for Sewell and Lacroix, died suddenly about five miles northwest of Hiawatha. The cause of his death is thought be have been due to heart failure as he had been doctoring for that trouble. Doctors Shannon and McKnight were called and took an auto. They got to the place where the body was lying in 20 minutes but arrived too late to render any assistance. Harvey Hart brought back the body to Hiawatha in an auto. While putting on his load of lumber that afternoon, Mr. Snook had stopped suddenly placing his hand to his breast, his face indicating pain. Mr. Lacroix asked him what was the trouble, and he said in his ordinary tone of voice, "I feel a little stopped up in my chest."
William Snook was 63 years of age, a member of the local post of the GAR and one of the oldest settlers of the county. He worked steadily up to the day of his death, doing more work than the average man of half his age usually does. He was a good father, kind to his family, and his three daughters, Mrs. Ed Brook, Miss Hattie and Miss Cora Snook, fairly idolized him. Hiawatha had no better citizen than William Snook. The funeral was held at the house at 306 Delaware Street Thursday afternoon. Rev. R.J. Phipps preached the sermon. The burial was in the Hiawatha Cemetery.
