Memorial in Ash-Snyder Cemetery

Note: There is room for considerable doubt as to whether the remains were actually removed as stated above. National cemeteries as a matter of policy remove the gravestones of disinterred remains to free up the plot for another burial. While there may have been an intention to remove 1SGT Snider's remains, that may not have actually happened.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: May 21 2022, 6:49:41 UTC
