**********************************************************************

M. R. Snyder, a prosperous and influential farmer and stockman of Rose
Hill township, is a member of one of the first families of Henry county
Missouri.  He was born in 1866, a son of Rudolph and Mary Snyder, both
of whom were born in Germany and emigrated from the old country in 
youth.  They were the parents of four children who are now living: Mrs.
Mary Acker, Weaubleau, Missouri; J. D., Lowry City, Missouri; M. R., 
the subject of this review; and J. F., Brownington, Missouri.  Rudolph
Snyder was a wealthy stockman of Henry county, where he owned extensive
land interests.  He died in 1889.  The mother is also deceased.  In the
public schools of Henry county, M. R. Snyder obtained his education. He
was born and reared on the farm in that county and in early manhood 
began life for himself engaged in the vocations of frming and stock
raising.  In 1893, Mr. Snyder came to Johnson county and purchased 120
acres of land located in Rose Hill township, which tract is a part of
his present farm of 310 acres.  The Snyder place is well located and
nicely improved, being well equipped for handling stock.  Sixty acres
of the farm were in corn this past season, of 1917.  In 1898, Mr. 
Snyder built a handsome residence, a house of eight rooms, which is 
their present home.  In 1891, M. R. Snyder was united in marriage with
Anna Schlabach, daughter of Joseph and Barbara Schlabach of French 
lineage.  To this union have been born four children: J. L., Ada, Helen
and Elizabeth, all of whom are at home with their parents.  Mr. and
Mrs. Snyder have a host of friends in Johnson county, where they have
made their home for the past twenty-five years.  Politically, Mr. 
Snyder is a Republican.  He is a valued member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, of which he has been steward for several years.
