The News, 28 Nov. 1942, p. 10. Subject The topic of the resource Veterans Description An account of the resource Frederick Snare Jr. (c. 1892–1942) was an engineer, corporate executive, military veteran, and civic leader whose life bridged international construction, wartime service, and public responsibility in Englewood, New Jersey. The son of Frederick Snare Sr., founder of the internationally known Frederick Snare Corporation, he grew up within a family deeply connected to large-scale engineering, infrastructure development, and public service. Snare Jr. joined the Frederick Snare Corporation as a young man and rose to become its secretary-treasurer and a director, playing a key role in the management of a firm whose projects stretched across the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. While his father’s career was closely associated with Cuba and major New York infrastructure projects, Frederick Jr. represented the next generation of leadership within the company, helping guide its operations during a period shaped by economic uncertainty and global conflict. In addition to his professional responsibilities, Snare Jr. distinguished himself through military service in World War I. Serving with the 27th Division, he was cited and decorated for bravery under intense shell fire, an experience that marked him as both a veteran and a war hero in later accounts. His service placed him among a generation of American engineers and professionals whose wartime experiences informed their postwar civic engagement. After the war, Snare Jr. made his home in Englewood, residing at 90 Booth Avenue, where he became actively involved in local public life. He served as a member of the Englewood Board of Police Commissioners and later as president of the city’s Police and Firemen’s Pension Fund Commission, reflecting a strong commitment to municipal governance and public safety. He was also a director of the Citizens National Bank and Trust Company, further underscoring his standing within Englewood’s civic and financial institutions. Snare Jr.’s personal life was closely connected to prominent national and international figures. He married Edith Rutledge Dulles, linking him to the influential Dulles family; their marriage placed him within a broader network of political, diplomatic, and social elites in early twentieth-century America. The couple had four children: Frederick Snare III, William Snare, Dorothy Warner, and Marjorie Reed. Following their divorce, Edith remained a beneficiary in Snare Jr.’s estate, a detail that later attracted public attention during probate proceedings. Frederick Snare Jr. died in November 1942 at the age of fifty, following a heart ailment, at Englewood Hospital. His death occurred during World War II, a conflict in which his father’s firm was once again heavily engaged in war-related engineering work. He was survived by his widow, Helen R. Snare, his children, and extended family members in Englewood and beyond. Although his life was cut short, Snare Jr.’s legacy reflects a blend of engineering leadership, military valor, and civic responsibility. In Englewood, he was remembered not simply as the son of a famous industrialist, but as a public servant and community figure whose career embodied the intertwined worlds of industry, war, and local governance in the first half of the twentieth century.

Title A name given to the resource Snare, Frederick, Sr. (1862-1946) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <div></div> Description An account of the resource Frederick Snare Sr. (c. 1860–September 22, 1943) was an American engineer, contractor, and international builder whose career spanned the United States, Cuba, and South America during the era of rapid industrial expansion and American overseas influence. As founder and longtime leader of the Frederick Snare Corporation, he played a central role in shaping modern infrastructure in Havana while also contributing to some of New York City’s most significant public works. Born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, Snare entered the construction and engineering field at a moment when steel construction, reinforced concrete, and large-scale civil engineering were transforming urban landscapes. In 1898, he partnered with civil engineer Wolfgang Gustav Triest to establish the Snare & Triest Company, which was incorporated in 1900 with Snare serving as president. The firm quickly gained a reputation for managing complex engineering projects, including bridge foundations, transportation terminals, power facilities, and heavy industrial construction. Snare’s career soon assumed an international dimension. He relocated much of his professional life to Cuba, arriving there in the late nineteenth century and remaining closely connected to the country for more than four decades. Under his leadership, the company established a major Cuban headquarters and became deeply involved in Havana’s modernization. Its projects included highways, railways, streetcar systems, electrical substations, sugar mills, and major transportation infrastructure, most notably the construction of Havana’s main railway terminal in 1912. These works placed the firm at the center of Cuba’s early twentieth-century economic transformation. In recognition of his influence, Snare was decorated twice by the Cuban government for his contributions to economic development and for fostering social and cultural ties between Cuba and the United States. Among residents of Havana, he was known affectionately as “Father,” reflecting both his prominence and his long-standing presence in civic life. In later years, he made his home at La Residencia, adjoining the Country Club of Havana, which he founded in 1911 and served as president until his death. While maintaining strong ties to Cuba, Snare remained deeply embedded in the engineering and business world of the northeastern United States. The Frederick Snare Corporation maintained offices in New York and Philadelphia and completed major public works projects including the Triborough Bridge, Whitestone Bridge, West Side Highway, East River Drive, Chelsea Piers, and the Outerbridge Crossing and Goethals Bridge connecting Staten Island and Manhattan. The firm was also extensively engaged in wartime construction during both World War I and World War II, including naval infrastructure projects such as work at Guantánamo Bay. Snare’s position within elite transnational business circles was reinforced through his family’s social and residential ties, including connections to Englewood, New Jersey, where members of the Snare family later resided. His son, Frederick Snare Jr., worked closely with his father in the engineering firm of Snare & Triest and went on to become an executive of the company. In May 1914, Frederick Jr. married Edith Rutledge Dulles at New York’s Hotel Gotham, a society wedding that reflected the family’s standing within prominent industrial and professional networks. Through this marriage, the Snare family was linked to influential corporate, religious, and diplomatic lineages: Edith Dulles was the daughter of William Dulles, a senior executive of the Mississippi Glass Company, and the granddaughter of the Reverend John Welsh Dulles of Philadelphia. She was also a cousin of John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, figures who would later play central roles in U.S. foreign policy and intelligence during the Cold War. Contemporary accounts noted Frederick Jr.’s active role in the family firm at the time of the marriage, underscoring the intergenerational character of Snare’s enterprise and its embeddedness within the social geography of New York, Havana, and northern New Jersey. Following the dissolution of the Snare & Triest partnership in the early 1920s, the firm continued as the Frederick Snare Corporation, with Snare serving as chairman after stepping down as president in 1927. His son later became secretary-treasurer of the company but predeceased his father in 1942. Beyond engineering, Snare was also an accomplished sportsman. An avid golfer, he served as captain of the United States Senior Golf Association team and won the U.S. Senior Golf Championship twice, in 1922 and 1925. Frederick Snare Sr. died in Havana following a brief illness at the age of 83. He was survived by two daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. His legacy endures in the built environments of Havana and New York City, where bridges, roadways, terminals, and public works continue to reflect the reach of early twentieth-century American engineering and overseas construction enterprise.

Title A name given to the resource Chamberlain, Wilton "Wilt" Norman (1936-1999) Subject The topic of the resource Sports, Basketball Description An account of the resource Wilt Chamberlain was already a national basketball phenomenon by the spring of 1960. After rising to prominence at Overbrook High School, starring at the University of Kansas, spending a season with the Harlem Globetrotters, and entering the NBA with the Philadelphia Warriors in 1959, Chamberlain stunned the sports world by announcing a brief retirement, citing both financial concerns and the physical punishment he endured from opposing players. He soon returned to the game by organizing a traveling All-Star team and launching a barnstorming tour that brought him to Englewood on April 18, 1960. More than 1,000 fans filled the auditorium at Dwight Morrow High School to see Chamberlain score 36 points as his All-Stars defeated the Jersey Titans, 119–101. The matchup carried special significance: Chamberlain finally had the chance to play against his high-school idol, Sherman White, who returned to the court where he had first made his name in the late 1940s and scored 17 points for the Titans. White’s team was coached by Tom Morgan, the longtime Dwight Morrow coach who had guided White during his record-setting school years, further anchoring the exhibition in Englewood’s basketball history. Later that summer, Chamberlain returned to the NBA, signing a three-year, $375,000 contract with the Warriors that made him the highest-paid athlete in American history at the time.

Title A name given to the resource Ward, Charles W. (?-1887) Subject The topic of the resource Religion, Christianity Description An account of the resource Charles W. Ward was an Episcopal clergyman who served as rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church during the 1880s. He was the son of James Harman Ward, a distinguished U.S. Navy officer and nationally known military intellectual. James H. Ward was one of the founders of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis and became the first United States Navy officer killed during the American Civil War, mortally wounded in June 1861 while commanding the Potomac Flotilla at the Battle of Mathias Point. His death was widely memorialized, and his name carried lasting prestige within military and public circles. Raised in the shadow of this legacy, Charles Ward entered public life through the clergy rather than the military. By the mid-1880s, he was living in Englewood and had assumed leadership of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. According to the New York Times, residents described him as intelligent, energetic, and outwardly successful. Parishioners credited him with revitalizing a struggling congregation—improving attendance, stabilizing church finances, and restoring the church’s standing in the community. Englewood residents later told reporters that Ward appeared disciplined, devoted to his work, and fully engaged in parish life, and that his efforts were widely seen as having “turned the church around.” Ward’s private life, however, was marked by instability. He was married four times; his fourth wife was Orpah Van Schaick. He had two children, Charles and Bessie. In February 1887, the contrast between his public reputation and private crisis became violently visible. According to contemporary reporting, Ward suddenly attacked his family inside their home, firing multiple shots from a revolver. His wife was shot and seriously injured but survived. One of his children was also shot and badly wounded. Ward then attempted to kill himself, inflicting a gunshot wound that was not immediately fatal. The New York Times emphasized the shock expressed by neighbors and parishioners, many of whom insisted that nothing in Ward’s recent conduct suggested violence or instability. Friends and congregants portrayed the episode as a complete rupture from his known character, repeatedly describing the attack as occurring “in a moment of insanity.” Coverage highlighted the disbelief that a man viewed as sober, competent, and morally upright—especially one bearing the name of a celebrated national figure—could commit such an act. Following the shooting, Ward was placed under medical supervision rather than immediately prosecuted, reflecting nineteenth-century views that severe mental disturbance mitigated criminal responsibility. His condition reportedly worsened over the following weeks. In May 1887, he died after ingesting a fatal dose of chlorate, an act reported as suicide. His death brought a tragic end to a life shaped by inherited public distinction, local respect, and profound private unraveling—an episode that contemporaries understood as both a personal catastrophe and a warning about mental illness hidden beneath outward success.
