Farmer Dies, so Son Kills Self on Farm
A 49-year-old bachelor farmer took his own life and his body was found beside the body of his aged father in a farm house south of Austin about 5:30 p.m. Monday.
Sheriff Albert Reinartz and Dr. B.J. Cronwell, coroner, were called by relatives. They found Matt Snyder, about 84, dead of natural causes, and his son, Louis, dead from a bullet wound in the roof of the mouth.
Officers were called to the farm, two miles south and half a mile west of Austin, by Mr. and Mrs. George Crump 111 S. Railway. The Crumps are distant relatives of the Snyders.
They said they had called on the two men Sunday. Matt Snyder had been ill for some time, and Louis told the Crumps that if his father passed away he wouldn't stay around. Mr. and Mrs. Crump returned to Austin about 5:30 p.m.
When they returned to the farmhouse at 5:30 p.m. Monday they found the door locked. The Crumps looked in the bedroom and saw the fathers's body on the bed and the son crumpled beside him on the floor.
A son of Matt Snyder, J.M. Snyder, Minneapolis, has been notified. The bodies were taken to the Jordan Mortuary.
