Ernest Snyder, a prosperous young farmer, who is operating the home farm,
Section 27, west, Maple Grove Township, which he has rented since 1917, is 
one of the active men of the community, and is forging his way to success. 
He carries on general farming and dairying, and makes a specialty of a good
herd of Holsteins, headed by full-blooded sires. He was born in Indiana Oct. 
28, 1894, was brought to Maple Grove Township by his parents, Charles and 
Rebecca (Kitch) Snyder, and was educated in the public schools of Hillsdale 
and reared to farm pursuits.  He was married Nov. 25, 1916, to Grace Perkins, 
daughter of Jesse and Anna (Curries) Perkins, natives of southern  Wisconsin, 
who came to Barron County, and settled in Maple Grove Township, where they 
lived until 1916, when they retired and moved to Barron. In the family there 
were six children, William, Edward, Maude, Loran, Loretta and Grace. Mr. and 
Mrs. Snyder have one child, Laird O., born July 29, 1920.
