Canon W.T. Snyder Fatally Stricken
Episcopal Rector and Prominent Mason Passes Away in Cathedral
Rev. Canon William Tayloe Snyder, rector for twenty-six years of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, 12th and N Streets and prominently identified in Masonic circles for many years, died yesterday afternoon in the library of the cathedral offices, shortly before 4 o'clock. Death was caused by apoplexy. He was to have officiated at the evening prayer services at the cathedral. He was engaged in work at the time in the library and died before medical aid could be obtained.
The rector's death was a great shock to his many friends, for all believed him to be in perfect health. He participated in the annual outing June 3-5, of Temple Noyes Lodge, No. 32, F.A.A.M., of which he was chaplain almost from the date of its organization and conducted an impressive religious service aboard the steamer Midland last Sunday evening, June 4. Canon Snyder also attended both a special communication of the lodge called at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon – the day before his death – and the stated communication at 8 o'clock the same evening performing his duties as chaplain in connection with the exemplification of the master Mason degree at each communication. He remained to say the closing prayer, after midnight, at the evening communication.
Comments on Good Health
In the interval between the communications, dinner was served the members of the lodge in the banquet room of Masonic Temple. Canon Snyder joined with the others and appeared to be in the best of health and spirits. During dinner he remarked to John C. Koons, worshipful master of the lodge, that he had never felt better in his life.
Canon Snyder was a thirty-third degree Scottish Rite Mason.
Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washington, was one of the many callers at the residence, 1317 19th Street, last night. In sorrow he extolled the life of the deceased rector. He was the perfect type of a Christian gentleman and was beloved by all the clergy, as well as by the laymen. He was a very efficient helper as canon of the cathedral, the bishop said.
Born in Washington
Canon Snyder was born in this city, August 24, 1856. He was the son of the late Dr. John M. Snyder, who practiced medicine in Georgetown. His mother was formerly Miss Sophie Tayloe and was the daughter of the late William Henry Tayloe of Mount Airy, Virginia. Canon Sndyer received his early education at the Episcopal High School, near Alexandria, Virginia and later attended the school of Henry C. Symonds. In the fall of 1875 he entered the law office of the late Judge Walter S. Cox, then a leader of the Washington bar. In the same year he enrolled in the student body of the Columbian Law School, where afterward received his bachelor's and master's degrees. Upon his admission to the Washington bar he practiced his profession until 1890, when he determined to secure holy orders.
His first appointment was that of curate at St. John's Church, Washington, serving at St. Mary's Chapel. From St. John's parish he went to the Church of the Ascension as assistant to the late Rev. John H. Elliott, S.T.D.
Rector Since 1896
He was then called to the Church of the Incarnation and took up his duties there April 26, 1896, where he has zealously served continuously up to the time of his death. His twenty-fifth anniversary of his rectorship was celebrated by the parish last year on April 25. The service took its place in the church calendar as celebrating the fest of the Annunciation. The patronal feast was not celebrated March 25 last year because of its coincidence with Good Friday. Canon Snyder came to the Church of the Incarnation prior to his taking up the duties of rector. He served as assistant rector to Rev. I.L. Townsend, S.T.D. and upon the retirement of Dr. Townsend from ministerial duties a few months later became rector.
Canon Snyder married Miss Mary Louise Hammond, the daughter of General John Hammond, member of Congress from Crown Point, New York. The marriage was consecrated here March 26, 1883. Mrs. Snyder died about six years ago.
Served as Minor Canon
In addition to his fulfillment of his duties as rector of the Church of the Incarnation, Rev. Snyder served as minor canon of the Cathedral. He also served as chaplain of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital from its incorporation up to last year. He was chaplain of the Society of Colonial Wars, the Society of the Revolution, Almas Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; the Scottish St. Andrew's Society, Temple-Noyes Lodge, No. 32, F.A.A.M.; the local bodies of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite and grand chaplain of the Royal Order of Scotland. He was also past commander-in-chief of Albert Pike Consistory, No. 1, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and a member of the University Club, the Aztec Club and the Oldest Inhabitants.
Funeral services will be held at the Church of the Incarnation Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, with Bishop Harding and Dean G.C.F. Bratenahl of the cathedral officiating. Interment in Oak Hill Cemetery will be private. Members of Temple-Noyes Lodge, F.A.A.M., are requested by the master to attend the services.
Surviving Canon Snyder are three daughters, Miss Phyllis Snyder and Mrs. Fletcher S. Tilton, both of this city and Mrs. Eugene E. Barker of New York; a son, Lieut. Arthur Snyder, student at the University of Nevada; a brother, Arthur A. Snyder of this city and six grandchildren.
On March 26, 1883, he married Marie Louise Hammond at the District of Columbia.
In 1900 they were the parents of five children with four living.
