When he first took possession, it had only a small frame house on it in which the family lived and worked happily together until 1882. The old house was then moved back to give place to a more modern and convenient dwelling. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Snyder are now in the evening of life, some of their children growing up around them and some leaving home to seek their fortunes in a new country, as did their parents before them. They have witnessed many and great changes. Their farm, which at the time of purchase was unimproved, is now under a high state of cultivation and one of the most valuable in the township. They have seen the building of the church upon the hillside and the school-house in the valley and have taken an active part in all religious, temperance, and public affairs. During the past five years Mr. Snyder has turned his attention to the raising of high-grade stock, having on hand a number of superior Clydesdale horses and a fine lot of Chester White hogs and Short-horn cattle. Politically, Mr. Snyder is a democrat and has held various township offices.

Mr. William Snyder's alleged background:

3._--Jeremiah Snyder, d. 1873 in IA; m. Anna Rich (d. 1860 in IA; bd. IA); both natives of the Old Dominion, and the parents of twelve children, of which number nine are yet living (i.e., as of ca. 1887); Jeremiah followed the occupation of a farmer in his native State until 1842, when, hearing of the opportunities offered in the far West, and believing it would be for the advantage of his large family of children, he concluded to emigrate. He first proceeded with his family to Wheeling, thence by boat to Keokuk, Iowa, and from there overland to English River Township. He entered 250 acres of land in sections 1 and 12, and commenced to open up a farm. As one of the pioneers of this county, he became well known by all old citizens, and was a man held in high favor. Although not connected with any church, Mr. and Mrs. Snyder were strong believers in the divinity of Christ and took an interest in all Church work. The mother died in 1860 and the father in 1873. Both rest in the old Snyder Cemetery, near which stood the Snyder Chapel. Many lessons of truth, charity and integrity were presented in the lives of these good old people.
