  • The original owners were James Louis Snyder (1884-1958) and Ruth Olivia Hauser Snyder (1896-1963), shown at the address in the 1939 city directory, the first year it was listed. James was a captain in the fire department, Truck Company No. 1. After James’s death, Ruth continued to live in the house until she died in 1963.
  • In 1977, Rebecca Jane Brown Day (1926-2012) bought the house. It’s now being sold by her daughter. Rebecca was a native of Pinnacle and a graduate of Salem College in home economics and music. She worked as a tailoring instructor, special education teacher, retail manager and government researcher. She was married to William H. Day (1925-2005). William was an Air Force veteran of World War II and Korea. He worked for the federal Defense Logistics Agency for 35 years and later for Time-Warner Cable.

  • “Timothy B. Transou purchased the property in 1921 and in 1922 was first listed in the city directory at this location. He sold the house in 1929, and it appears to have been used as rental property until the present owners acquired it in 1976.” It appears to be a rental property again.
