    I wonder if the keeper tried this stunt one time too many?

Keeper Snyder [and] Comm. Stover (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Richard Norton said:
    William Snyder, was the head keeper in the Central Park Zoo in Manhattan. He is mentioned in this article: William Snyder, head keeper in the Central Park Zoo, undertook yesterday morning to transfer eight big African pythons from a box to a small cage. Louis F. La Roche, a representative of Park Comsioner Stover, and Thomas Brady, a painter, helped him. The snakes had been put in the box while their old quarters were being done over, and they had not been fed as frequently as usual because of this change. Source: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9906E3DB133BE633A... Stover must be the Parks Commissioner Charles B. Stover. He was thought to be dead in 1913 in Delaware when a body resembling him was found: Friends of Park Commissioner Charles B. Stover were much alarmed last night when dispatches from Wilmington, Del., said that in a body found in the Christiana River, near the shipyard of the American Car and Foundry Company there, Coroner John T. Spring of Wilmington reported that he recognized striking resemblance to Mr. Stover, whose whereabouts have not been known for some time. Source: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9F0DEED91E3BE633A... I created entries for both in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bunstein_Stover en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Snyder_(animal_trainer)
