The
Spring 2005 JOURNAL of the Jackson County Historical Society features The Far Reaching Legacy of Kansas City’s Robert
McClure Snyder by Suzee Soldanels Oberg
We’re thankful for our
contributors (current and future) for allowing us to share their writings
with you. Each one presents an informative chapter in our area’s colorful
history. Suzee Oberg’s Far Reaching
Legacy of Kansas City’s Robert McClure Snyder is a fascinating look at
one whose contributions to our mid-western way of life should be remembered. The printed version is
abbreviated from a full-length manuscript biography of Robert McClure Snyder
(1852-1906) by the author available at the Jackson County Historical
Society’s Archives and Research Library. Suzee SoldanEls Oberg, a Jackson County Historical
Society member, operates a 52-year-old family business, Suzee’s Fashions, in
Overland Park, Kansas, where she has been active in civic and business
organizations. Her interest in American and family history has also led her
to support several other historical and genealogical societies, and the
Memorial Foundation for the Germanna Colonies in Virginia. Suzee’s husband,
Ken, and her grown children and grandsons have always been patient
participants in courthouse and cemetery searches. Websites offering more information: Ha Ha Tonka State Park Links: http://www.mostateparks.com/hahatonka/history.htm http://www.funlake.com/do_see/outdoors/ha_ha_tonka.php
