Mr. Snyder was a native of New York state, being born at Auburn, but came west while quite a young man, accompanied by an elder brother, J. W. Snyder. Both brothers served in the war of 1861. Mr. Snyder, Charley (as he was always called), received his discharge from the army as first sergeant, near the close of the war. Considering his age, as he was quite young at that time, his promotion in the army was extraordinary; but that was only an example of his whole life. March 21, 1872, he was united in marriage to Miss Cynthia Stevens of Glen Allen, Mo. To this union were born two children, Clara Malvern (now Mrs. L. H. Tobler), and Elizabeth Rose, who, with his devoted wife and two little grand-daughters, aged two and six years, survive ! him and mourn the loss of a devoted husband, a loving father, and grandfather. Mr. Snyder was converted and united withthe Glen Allen M. E. church south in 1896, where he had resided since his marriage, having erected a beautiful and convenient home for himself and family, which was the pride of his life. The funeral was preached at the family residence by Rev. E. T. Adams of the M.E. church south. A great number of friends and relatives attended the last sad rites, also the two fraternal orders of which he was a member--the Masons and the Workmen--attended the body. From the residence the remains were borne to the open grave, at the new city cemetery, and the final services conducted by the Masonic order.
