Ophthalmologist Leaves Funds for Research.
—The residuary estate of the late Dr. Walter H. Snyder, an ophthalmologist of Toledo, Ohio, which is valued at $350,000, has been released by court action for the establishment of the Snyder Ophthalmic Foundation to provide funds for research in diseases of the eye. By trust agreements made several years ago, Dr. Snyder and his wife, who died in 1937, placed the bulk of their property in trust and directed that on their deaths the funds should be used for research in ophthalmology and other charitable purposes. After Dr. Snyder's death in 1938 the will was contested by relatives. The research funds are to be administered by five directors, including Drs. Conrad Berens and John H. Dunnington, of New York, two Toledo bankers and an attorney.
