Author: History of Ashland County, Ohio by A. J. Baughman

Daniel Snyder, owning and operating a well improved and valuable farm of one hundred

and sixty acres on section 15, Green township, is a native son of Ashland County,
his 
birth having occurred on the farm on which he now resides on the 12th of December, 
1867. His parents were Henry and Sarah Anna (Black) Snyder, the former born February

27, 1827, and the latter May 25, 1832. The paternal grandfather, who came to this
county 
from Pennsylvania, bought a tract of one hundred and twenty-two acres in Green 
townshiip and here spent his remaining days. This farm afterward came into
possession 
of Henry Snyder, the father of our subject, who resided thereon throughout the
greater 
part of his life, The maternal grandfather, Samuel Black, likewise came to this
county from 
the Keystone state, taking up his abode in the vicinity of McKay, in which town his
demise 
occurred when he had attained the venerable age of ninety-two years. His daughter,
Mrs. 
Snyder, was called to her final rest on the 26th of August, 1894. Her family
numbered 
eleven children, three of whom died in early life, while eight still survive. The
record is as 
follows: Samuel M., who is deceased; Henry Franklin, a resident of Green township; 
James Buchanan, of Columbus; Mary Ellen, the wife of Amos Hunter, of Mansfield; John

Snyder, who makes his home in Lake township; Willis and Emma Bell, both of whom 
have passed away; Daniel, of this review; Elverta, the wife of George Thomas, of
Green 
township;   Anna Eliza Cordelia, the wife of Sam Budd, of Green township; and
Charles, 
a resident of  Vermillion township.
Daniel Snyder lost his father when only about twelve years of age and, being one of
a 
large family, was early obliged to provide for his own support, working as a farm
hand by 
the month as soon as old enough to handle the plow. In 1902 he bought the home farm

of one hundred and twenty-two acres and also an adjoining tract of land, so that his

property now embraces one hundred and sixty acres on section 15, Green township. It
is 
situated on the Perrysville and McKay road, a mile and a half from McKay and three 
miles from Perrysville. On the farm are good outbuildings as well as a commodious
and 
attractive residence and  a substantial barn, which was built by Mr. Snyder after
the old 
one was destroyed by fire.  He has brought the fields into a state of rich
fertility, so that he 
annually harvests good crops and derives therefrom a gratifying income and, being
not 
only progressive but also thoroughly parctical in his methods, he carries forward to

successful completion whatever he undertakes.
On the 4th of October, 1902, Mr. Snyder was united in marriage to Miss Gladys Vesta

McClure, whose birth occurred in Vermillion township, Ashland county, March 26,
1884, 
her parents being Louis and Josephine (Huston) McClure, who are naitves of this
county 
and make their home in Vermilliion township.  Their family numbered five children, 
namely: Mrs. Snyder;  James C., who died in infancy; Lottie Pearl, at home; Dollie
May, 
who likewise passed away in infancy; and Lula Flossie, who is also yet under the 
parental roof. Both Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are representatives of old and well known 
families of Ashland county, where they have spent their entire lives, their many
sterling 
characteristics having gained for them kindly regard and warm friendship.
