**About Robert Synder, the man behind the castle:
During Snyder's lifetime, his gift for negotiating successful business ventures amassed him a fortune. His assets included landholdings and real estate, oil and natural gas wells, herds of cattle, banking interests, and other investments across the nation. His obituary in the Kansas City Journal on Oct. 29, 1906, said, "He was a man who understood big things and made them win by keeping up the fight when other men might have been ready to give it up." He maintained ideals for which he was recognized, never failing to accentuate the importance of family values. In a personal message to his son Robert Jr., he encouraged him to "lay down for yourself principles of truth - of honor - of self respect - and of unselfishness - and do not violate them - thus will your life be a success and a pleasure to you and every one who knows or meets you." It was said that Snyder's business dealings were honorable and his name was synonymous with commercial integrity. His tragic death, one of the first automobile fatalities in Missouri, brought an end to the rise of a powerful businessman and his legacy."
