- Snook
Charles S. Snook, prominent in financial circles, and a well-known banker, and resident of the county, died Saturday morning about 5 o’clock at his home at Lewistown. Acute indigestion was the cause. Mr. Snook had been in his usual health and was in Frederick Friday. During the evening he was stricken with the fatal attack which his heart was not strong enough to resist. A physician was with him throughout the night. His death came as a great surprise and shock to his friends and to the community.
Although a resident of the county Mr. Snook was almost a daily visitor to Frederick. Being vice-president of the Central Trust Company of Maryland he spent much of his time at the bank.
He was the son of Daniel J. and Mary Ann Snook, and was born on the Snook homestead, December 4, 1857. He received his education in a private school and in Western Maryland College. On returning home he devoted much of his time to farming and stock raising. He was a clerk in the Maryland Senate during the session of 1898. Later he was connected with the Internal Revenue Service for four years. He was one of the enumerators in the census of 1900. During the war with Spain he was offered a commission in the army. Mr. Snook was a lifelong Republican and was an unsuccessful candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates on the Republican ticket a few years ago. He was interested in banking, being vice-president of the Central Trust Company since January 20, 1915. He was also a director of the Woodsboro Savings Bank.
On December 24, 1895, Mr. Snook married Miss Alva B. Cramer, daughter of the late Andrew Cramer of Lewistown, who survives. One brother D.F. Snook, Lewistown, also survives. There are no children.
Funeral services were held at his home Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, and interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery, at Frederick.
