SNYDER - SUMMIT COUNTY Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed History of Ohio The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume III, page 366-367 WILLIAM E. SNYDER has rounded out a quarter of a century of active membership in the Akron bar. His practice has been such as to make him one of the busiest attorneys in that city. He is a native of Summit County and a member of the family that has lived in that section of Ohio for eighty-five years. His grandparents, Michael and Barbara (Weimer) Snyder, came from Alsace, France, in 1838. His father, Michael Snyder, Jr., was born in 1829, was eight years of age when brought to America, and spent his active career as a farmer in Summit County, where he died din 1893. The mother of William E. Snyder was Nancy Marsh, who was born in Summit County, in 1837, and died in 1894, her parents, George and Elizabeth (Hayne) Marsh, coming from Pennsylvania. William E. Snyder, one of the twelve children of his parents, was born on his father's farm in Summit County, March 3, 1871, grew up there, attending the common schools, and in 1890-91 attended the Valparaiso Normal School in Indiana, and in 1891-92 was a student at Mount Union College at Alliance, Ohio. He taught school portions of eight years, and in 1895 began the study of law in the office of Otis and Otis, at Akron. He was admitted to the bar in 1898, and his practice has always been a general one. For the first ten years he was associated with several other well known lawyers in successful partnership. From 1907 until July, 1923, he handled his practice alone, since which time he has been associated in partnership with his son, Marion E. Snyder. Their offices are in the Second National Bank Building. He served several years as examiner of titles under the Torrens Act, being appointed in July, 1914. He also rendered some effective service for two or three years as a member of the Akron Board of Education. He is a member of the Summit County and Ohio State Bar associations, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. On September 5, 1894, Mr. Snyder married Miss Olive C. Kerstetter, whose parents, David and Eliza (Haring) Kerstetter, were well known farmers of Summit County. The four children of Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are Margaret, Marion, Harold and Catherine. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 13:51:54 -0400 From: Gina Reasoner To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <4.2.0.58.19991018132852.0095fa00@pop.prodigy.net> Subject: ISAAC S. MYERS - SUMMIT COUNTY Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed History of Ohio The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume III, page 374 ISAAC S. MYERS. Forty years of business activity and action have made Isaac S. Myers one of the leading merchants and bankers of the city, though in recent years his close attention to movements and enterprises of a civic nature, together with social welfare, have made him even better known to the general public than his business interests. He was born on a farm in Green Township of Summit County, Ohio, September 27, 1862, son of Peter and Mary (Stump) Myers. Both the Stump and Myers families came form Pennsylvania to Ohio in pioneer days. The maternal grandfather was John Stump, who located in Summit County in 1832, while the paternal grandfather Myers on coming to Ohio settled in Stark County, just across the line from Summit County. Peter Myers was born in Pennsylvania, in 1824, and spent his long and useful life as a farmer, dying in 1908. His wife died in 1910. Isaac S. Myers was reared on a farm, attended public schools, and at the age of seventeen began teaching, a work to which he devoted about seven years. After two years of efforts at proving up a Kansas homestead he located at Akron, in 1883, his business career beginning as clerk in a clothing store. In 1893 he became a member of the firm Myers, Ganyard & Stump, clothing merchants. A year later the firm became Ganyard & Myers, and in 1900 Mr. Myers became sole proprietor of the business, incorporating the I.S. Myers Company, of which he has since been president and general manager. This is one of the leading clothing stores in Northern Ohio. From merchandising he has extended his interests into many fields of commercial endeavor. He organized in 1908 and has since been president of the Myers-Hoffman Company, builders and manufacturers of artificial stone. He was one of the organizers and has since 1909 been treasurer of the Citizens Loan & Savings Company of Akron, is a director of the Ohio State Bank, and president of the Real Estate Mortgage Company, and is president of the board of directors of the Central Garage, the largest garage in the United States, located at Akron. Since 1910 much of his time has been devoted to real estate. His operations in real estate are entirely in handling his own property. Individually and as a partner he has put on the market twenty-one allotments, best known among which are the fine residence sections known as first, second and third North Hill and Portage Heights. He has served as a director of the Ohio State Retail Merchants' Association. One avenue of his active career has been the cultivation of high ideals of sportsmanship and the preservation of the natural game resources of the state and United States. He organized and in 1922-1923 served as president and is now honorary president for life of the Ohio League of Sportsmen. He is a director and former president of the Portage Fish and Game Association of Akron, and is a member of the advisory board to the United States Secretary of agriculture in enforcing the migratory bird law. For six years, 1917-1923, he was a member of the State Board of Agriculture and chairman of the Fish and Game Committee. he holds membership in a number of fish and game organizations. During the World war he was mayor of Akron, and he enlisted himself, his office and all his personal resources for the war, being active in every local patriotic campaign. His work attracted such attention that he was awarded an honorary certificate of membership by the American Patriotic Society of New York. He is also a honorary member of the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' League. He was one of the organizers of the Boy Scouts at Akron, and also helped organize the Girl Scouts, his distinguished and disinterested service to that organization bringing him a "Thanks" badge, presented by the Girl Scouts, the only honor emblem of its kind in Akron. Mr. Myers is a member of Nemo Lodge No. 746, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Akron Lodge No. 363, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Akron City Club; Akron Civitan Club, Chamber of commerce and other organizations. He married Miss Mary Sisler, daughter of John Sisler, of Manchester, Ohio. Mrs. Myers is an active worker in the Church of the Disciples. They have one daughter, Ruth, now the wife of G.F. Lane, of Akron. There are two granddaughters, Mary and Martha Lane. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 13:55:43 -0400 From: Gina Reasoner To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <4.2.0.58.19991018135242.0095f100@pop.prodigy.net> Subject: WILLIAM DANIEL MYERS - SUMMIT CO.
