MYRON SNYDER is a farmer and stock-raiser of Elba Township, Lapeer County. He
was born in Wayne County, N. Y., October 17, 1829, and was the second in order
of birth of a family of three. Sidney W. died in Buffalo County, Neb., and
Stephen died in California. Their parents were Peter and Susan (Derby) Snyder,
natives of Rensselaer County and Cayuga County, N. Y., respectively. The father
was born about 1811 and the mother about 1819. Our subject was reared a farmer,
to which calling his father had devoted himself a great portion of the time.

  Our subject's grandsire on the paternal side was Stephen Snyder, also a native
of Rensselaer County, N. Y. He had a family of three children, whose names were
Paul, Peter and Barney. The Snyders were originally of German extraction. Our
subject was reared for the most part in his native State and was educated in the
common schools of the district.

  On reaching manhood the original of our sketch was united in marriage with
Miss Sarah J. Hoyt, a daughter of Samuel and Abigail (Alferd) Hoyt. She was one
of a family of seven children, the ancestors being Maine people. Mr. and Mrs.
Snyder have three children living, having laid away one little one in God's
acre. Adelmer is married and a resident of Duluth, Minn.; Minnie is the wife of
W. E. Johnson of Port Huron and Charles M. is married and is a resident of Elba
Township.

  Mr. Snyder came to Lapeer County in 1867 and purchased a farm on which he now
resides. It comprised one hundred and sixty acres of land, but he has since
added to it until at the present time he owns two hundred and eighty-live acres
of as good land as there is in the township. He raises horses, cattle and sheep
and has followed the drover's business, buying and selling and shipping stock
here for the past fifteen years. Politically Mr. Snyder votes with the
Republican party. Socially he is a Mason and is a member of the Royal Arcanum.
