I'm not researching the Snyder or Myers families, but Lee Snyder and Peter Myers could have been the administrators of the estate appointed by the court, name in the will to be the administrators, or the court could have asked someone to step forward who knew the decease and his family in order to name the heirs or attest that they know the heirs. You'll have to read the paper carefully to see what is said before and after the names. Sometimes you have to put punctuation in where there isn't any so that the sentences can be read as they were intended at the time.
