20180215 RVA-
Harvey N. Snyder, Nestor of the Armstrong County Bar, passed away at his home on Queen street Friday morning at six o'clock. The end was not unexpected by immediate relatives and friends. Mr. Snyder had been in failing health for the greater part of the past two years and had not engaged in the practice of his profession since March 1927.

Mr. Snyder was born September 29, 1846, in Brady township, Butler county.

- George Philip snyder, who was associated with his father in the practice of law, and
