Lolita—An early morning fire Sunday claimed the life of a Lolita resident, Byron Snyder, 59, when flames virtually destroyed the house occupied by Snyder and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Snyder. The blaze was discovered about 3:30 a. m. by Snyder’s parents. They awoke him, and believed him to be outside as they fled through a window from the flaming home. The dead man had been in poor health, and had been weakened by an illness, it was reported. Fred Kelton, president of the Lolita Volunteer Fire Department, said that the blaze had been caused by faulty electrical wiring. Fire Chief Clem Fisher broke a window in an effort to rescue Snyder as firemen battled the blaze. Parts of a few walls remained standing after the fire was extinguished, but nothing was saved. A verdict of accidental death was returned by Justice of the Peace Les Psencik of Ganado. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. Monday at Psencik Funeral Home Chapel, with the Rev. H. O.

He began his career in the oilfield at age 13 when he began working for Magnolia Oil Company in order to try and survive the depression. He was later transferred to Vanderbilt in 1940 when the West Ranch oilfield was discovered in Vanderbilt, Texas. He retired from Magnolia Oil later known as Mobil Oil in 1951 to start his own workover rig service company, Stone Well Service, Inc. and later an oil and gas production company, J. C. Stone Oil Co.

In 1980, Pappy donated an antique oil pumping rig to the Matagorda County Commissioner, A. W. Hurta. The pumping rig had been placed on an oil well in 1920 in a field known as Clemville. Pappy later purchased this field and donated the antique pumping rig as a reminder of the county’s oil production of the early years of this century. The pump is displayed at Markham’s Community Park in Markham, Texas. He was preceded in death by his parents.
