Snyder, an enterprising farmer of Section 33, Cedar Grove Township, was born at Egg Harbor, Wis., on Aug. 16, 1892, the son of Matt and May (Lyman) Snyder, natives of Wisconsin, who lived for many years at Sturgeon Bay and both of whom are now deceased. He received a good graded school education and has devoted most of his life to farming. For five years, however, he worked as a boiler maker at West Allis, Wis. In 1919 he purchased 80 acres of cut over land in Section 33, Cedar Lake Township. A log barn was then the only building on the place. Mr. Snyder has put up a frame house, some sheds and shacks, has drilled a well and is gradually clearing up the place. He is an industrious man and is getting a good start toward success. Mr. Snyder was married at Duluth, Minn., March 20, 1918, to Ellen Kringle, the daughter of Ole and Marian Kringle, the former of whom is dead and the latter of whom is now living in Mikana, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder have two children: Cecil Pershing and Dorothy Loraine. The family faith is that of the Lutheran Church. --Taken from: History of Barron Co., Wisconsin, H. C.
