KS Pvt. Med Det. 56 Inf. War: WW1
At first glance, when authorities found a Hutchinson native in a car with a deadly wound to the head and a gun in his lap on Good Friday in April 1957, they thought suicide.
But all the facts did not add up. The unregistered revolver was wiped clean, and the victim, Ralph Wilson Snair, had his hat on backwards, with his pants pockets empty and turned outward.
Snair, a World War I veteran, was born in Hutchinson, grew up in Sterling and retired in Wichita, but was found dead in Walton, less than 10 miles from Newton.
Snair’s great niece, Susan McIver, Ph.D., decided she wanted to investigate this unsolved mystery. McIver is an award-winning scientist, former coroner and author who resides in Canada. Because of her background, she decided to write about the case in her recently-released book, “Long Time Dead: My Investigation into the Unsolved Murder of Ralph Wilson Snair.”

He was a tall and thin teacher of Business Economics at the Maple Shade Jr High School in NJ. He was my 9th grade teacher in 1966. His handouts said Fravel Weaver Snair. When he got mad, a vein in his forehead would swell and we knew to shut up. He taught us how to use the stock market. The entire class donated a $1.00 and he purchased stock in Transcontinental Investors. We graduated 9th grade and went to another town to high school. It was only later in life, I wonder if he ever sold the stock. lol
As to his personality, we had a school trip to the United Nations. Mr. Snair put his suit coat on backwards and borrowed a yarmulke from a Jewish colleague and wandered around the UN.

Name: Smyser, William Christie
Burial Date: 1917, 08/11
Age at Death: 77
Plot Location: 528 G
Notes: husband of Lavinia Jane (Brown)
William Christie Smyser had been a resident of Sterling for 35 years when he died August 9, 1917. He was born in Milford, Ohio, and graduated from its seminary. He was a descendant of a noble family in Germany and bore the coat of arms of his knightly kinfolk dating back to 1128 A.D. He came to Kansas with his wife and three children in 1882. His first job here was staying nights with a fellow member of the Odd Fellows Lodge, who had a broken leg. The job paid $1.50 a night. He owned a drug store in the early days but never ran it himself. He began buying tracts of land and seemed to know soils and crops would grow on that land. His success with land brought him in touch with broomcorn. Sterling was the center of the broomcorn industry, and Mr. Smyser was the Broomcorn King. He began to buy the crops outright – the dwarf variety grown in Kansas and the standard size in Oklahoma. He hauled the crops to stor in his buildings in Sterling, and he had to rent more storage space for he hauled as much as 1100 tons a year. He sold broom corn anyplace where factories were operated. He acquired much land and was well-known over the state as the largest sheep feeder in Kansas. He fed from fifteen to twenty thousand sheep a year. He was a most successful man but he acted in a very quiet way so as not to attract notice to his success, his wealth, and his power. He was a quiet, honest, generous man, a Bible student, a member of the Congregational Church and he belonged to several lodges. At his death he left his entire estate to his wife as executrix. HJC
