ROLLIE SNYDER.

   Among the successful farmers of Rock Creek township, Carroll county, is
Rollie Snyder, who owns a farm of one hundred and one acres, located on the
Wabash Valley traction line, one and one-half miles west of Burrows. Mr.
Snyder's farm is known as the Center View farm. Born on December 6, 1868, in
Rock Creek township, Mr. Snyder is the son of P. C. and Eliza (Cook) Snyder, the
former of whom was born in Franklin county, Pennsylvania, as was also his wife.
They grew up on a farm in Franklin county, and, after their marriage, came, in
1864, to Deer Creek township, Carroll county, where for ten years they rented a.
farm. Afterwards P. C. Snyder purchased eighty acres of land in Rock Creek
township and there lived for about fifteen years, when he purchased about one
hundred and sixty acres of land, including the farm upon which his son, Rollie,
now lives. Later he sold this farm to his son and purchased forty acres one mile
south, where he lived until his death. This second farm was known as the "Rupp
Forty." Mrs. Snyder preceded her husband in death, he dying in 1907 and she in
1903. They had nine children, three of whom are now living: Frank lives on the
Rupp farm in Rock Creek township; Ellie is the wife of William Plank, who
resides two miles east of Rockfield, in Rock Creek township; Rollie is the
subject of this sketch.

   Mr. Snyder lived at home with his parents and was educated in the common
schools. On December 29, 1897, he was married to Mary O. McKinney, the daughter
of Leander McKinney, a well-known citizen of this county. After their marriage
they settled on the farm where they now live and in 1901 purchased the farm. Mr.
Snyder is engaged in the business of raising thoroughbred Duroc-Jersey hogs and
is one of the largest hog raisers in Carroll county.

   Mr. and Mrs. Snyder have had four children, namely: Ruth is a student in the
first year of the high school; Lee died at the age of nine months; Everett, who
is eight years old, is attending school; Mack is an infant. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder
are members of the Presbyterian church at Burrows. Mr. Snyder is a Democrat in
politics, and is highly respected in Carroll county, where he is well known and
where he has spent all of his life.
