SNEPP, BELIEVED
TO BE OLDEST OF
PIONEERS, DEAD
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Jan. 9—
Lorenzo Snepp, believed to be the
oldest Alaskan pioneef, died yes
terday.
He celebrated his 100th birthday
in September, 1949, and was toast
ed on the occasion from the Pac
ific Coast throughout Alaska.
E'iidpp wtv hospitalized more
than four years ago when he was
found living alone on a homestead
35 miles down the Richardson high
way. He was preparing to face a
cold winter although he was too
weak to stand up.
Until theree weeks ago he was
keep minded, humerous and realty
to swap a few stories with visitors.
He never gave up the idea that he
would "get well enough to go back
to the cabin and live to a ripe
old age.”
Snepp was born in a covered
wagon enroute from New England
to Texas 12 years before the start
of the Civil War.
He started moving northward by
obtaining work as a cowhand from
Texas to Salt Lake City. He land
ed at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, in
1895 and in 1902 he went to Fort
Gibbon where he served in a civ
ilian capacity for the Army Quar
termaster Corps.
Snepp arrived in Fairbanks in
1923 and when he was 70 years
old he retired from Government
service and bought a homestead.
There are no known survivors.
