Gilbert H. Snyder, farmer, P. O. Lochiel, Dunn county, was born in Rensselaer 
county, N. Y., May 5, 1829, a son of Jacob and Catharine (Hoag) Snyder, both 
of New England parentage.  In 1842 they came to Wisconsin and settled in 
Waukesha county and lived there until 1850, then removed to Green Lake county, 
and settled permanently in Vernon county.  Our subject, at the age of twenty-
two, commenced the battle of life for himself, immediately after his marriage 
in Green Lake county, September 9, 1851, to Miss Catherine M. See. They have 
six children living, namely:  Eugene, who married Minnie Krause; Catherine, 
married to Harry Duncan; Henry, married Miss Katie Weaver; John, Gilbert and 
Jay at home.  After his marriage Mr. Snyder lived on a farm in Green Lake 
county until 1863, then removed to Minnesota, where he lived until 1874, then 
disposed of his property and came back to Wisconsin and settled in Otter Creek 
township, on his homestead of 160 acres on section twelve.  He has been an 
invalid for the last seven or eight years, consequently the care of the farm 
has rested on the shoulders of the three boys at home, who have made 
improvements and are developing the farm as fast as possible.  In politics 
Mr. Snyder is a republican, but his health has prevented his accepting any 
office, except some of the minor offices in his town.  He is a justice of the 
peace, an office which he has held for many years.
