Floyd Alonzo Snethen was born on January 30, 1914 in the Upper Monegaw area of St. Clair County, Missouri to Forrest E. and Ivy M. Snethen. He passed away peacefully at home on July 24, 2008 at the age of 94 years.
As a young man Floyd accepted Christ as his Savior.
On January 27, 1939, Floyd and Zoe Ginter were united in marriage at Osceola, Missouri and to this union four children were born.
Floyd lived his entire life in the St. Clair County area except for a very short time when he went to California during the depression.
Floyd was a hard worker and could be seen on numerous spring and summer days working in the field with his team of horses. He worked in the hayfields for many area farmers and was always asked to load the wagons because nobody else could load a wagon like Floyd. He also worked for Green Thumb for several years.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Zoe, just 52 days earlier, a daughter, Fran Schellman on August 5, 2004, an infant daughter, Faye Allene, on June 25, 1941, an infant son on February 25, 1943, his parents, a brother, Lawrence, of Appleton City, Missouri and a sister, Thelma Ginter of Kettle Falls, Washington.
He is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, John and Julia Snethen of Appleton City, Missouri, a sister, Bessie Foster and husband Joel, and a special son-in-law, Dane Schellman, all of Rockville, Missouri, ten grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren, five nieces and five nephews.
Floyd was a quiet and easy going man and will be greatly missed by family and friends.
