Kalner. From El Paso Herald Past 20 Feb 1941 - Federal Judge Praises Police
Captain As He Becomes U.S. Citizen - Police Captain Mike Snider became a United States citizen today
in a 15-minute session during which Federal Judge Boynton praised him for
"the commendable service you have rendered to the communtiy, believing you
were an Amercian" . Thus ended a strange chaper in the life of the
44-year-old El Paso police official, who until last Dec. 22 believed he was an
American citizen. On that date he was told by his father that he was a native
born Russian. Standing quietly before Judge Boynton, Captain Snider took the
oath which renounced "any other sovereignty" than the United States.
He then formally pledged allegiance to the United States. In granting Captain
Snider's application for citizenship. Judge Boynton commented: "I am
pleased to be presiding at this time." The court also granted the police
officer's application to have his Christian name of Mayer changed to Mike, the
name by which he has been known to thousands of El Pasoans for many years.
Naturalization Examiner H.B. Read, reviewing Captain Snider's case before the
court said he had exercised the rights of American citizenship in good faith.
He said Mr. Snider had voted since 1918 and that from July, 1918 to Feb 19,
1919 he served to the United States Army. He has served with the Fire and
Police Departments of El Paso since 1916. mr. Read told the court. born in
russia "Captain Snider has been told since childhood by his father that he
was born in the United States, in Minneapolis, Minnesota." Mr. Read said
"then last Dec 22 his father told him he was an alien and that he must
register under the alien registration act. He did so." Captain Snider,
according to an affidavit signed by his father, Isadore Snider, was born on
June 5, 1897 in Corastoetz, Britchoun-Houtin, Bessarabia, Russia. When the
officer was still a child his father brought the family to the United States
and the father later became a naturalized citizen. "I can't say how glad I
am that the whole misunderstanding is ironed out now, and that finally I can
say that I am an American citizen," Captain Snider said.

1. David and
John Blinderman - from Java, SD Diamond Jubliee 1900-1975...
Before Java
was established in 1900, a number of small stores and combination
post offices
were established in Walworth and Campbell counties. The Blinderman
family, David and
John, were homesteaders but also merchants, or peddlers, who
opened stores
in their homes. David Blinderman homesteaded the west half of NE
quarter and
the south half of NW quarter of Sec. 26 in Blessing Township,
Campbell
County, in 1898. For a short time, he and Albert Lang operated a store,
creamery, and
post office in Sutley. The creamery was located just north of the
present Leslie
Rau farm. In 1900 John sold the land to Simon Eisenbeisz and took
up a claim in
Highland District, the north half of NW quarter in Sec. 13. His
brother David
had filed a claim in 1898 on 40 acres of the SW quarter of NW
quarter and
the west half of NW quarter of Sec. 24 in Highland District. Here he
established the
Spiry post office and store on the Spiry homestead north of the
present site
of Java. David Blinderman was one of the first merchants in Java,
coming here
and establishing a successful mercantile business when the city was
in its
infancy. In Dec. 1905 John and his family moved to Zeeland, ND.
On Jan. 5,
1906, a notice appeared in the Java Herald that Edna Blinderman, wife
of David, died
at 2 o'clock at the age of 39 years, 7 months and 20 days. The
cause of death
was from a complication of diseases. Her body was shipped to
Minneapolis
where she was to be buried under the Jewish Rites in the Jewish
cemetery of
that city. Dr. Sigmund Rosenthal accompanied the remains. Edna was
born in
Grossliebental, South Russia, where she and David were married.
In 1886 they
came to the U.S. to New York City, then to MN, and to SD. Mrs.
Blinderman was
highly respected. In the Mar. 16, 1907 Java Herald it was
reported that
David Blinderman was happily married to Miss Anna Gershin. She was
a sister to
L.A. Gershin, who operated a store in Java, until 1941, when he sold
the business
to Emanuel Kary. A baby boy was born to the David Blindermans in
1913, and died
a few minutes after birth. On May 20, 1926, David's son, Myron
graduated from
Java High School. On May 26, 1927, Frieda, born Mar. 10, 1910 in
Minneapolis to
David, graduated from Java High School. In the June issue of the
Java Herald it
was published that a former Java pioneer businessman had
succumbed
after a prolonged illness. Mr. and Mrs. Blinderman left Java several
years before
to make their home in Minneapolis as both of them had begun failing
in health and
wished to be near their children. He was survived by his wife, who
had taken
faithful care of him during his long illness, one son, Myron of
Minneapolis, a
daughter, Frieda, Mrs. Leonard M. Besner, of Red Wing, MN, and a
grandson,
besides a host of other relatives and friends.
2. I have a note that says Anna
Gershin second wife of David was sister of Mrs. A. Gandel.
