Henry SNYDER 23 m Cabinet Maker O (sic)
Elizabeth [Stough] 20 f O (sic)
His 1882 biography is on the Whitley Co. IN History site.
HENRY SNYDER, like many others, began life a poor boy, dependent
entirely upon his own business ability and industry. He inherited much
mechanical skill from his father, and at the age of seventeen learned the
furniture and cabinet-maker's trade, which in his hands has led on to
success. He came to Columbia City in 1853, and from small beginnings his
business has attained its present proportions. It is conducted on Van
Buren street, in a two-story brick building, owned by himself, 25x147
feet. Here he has a large and finely assorted stock of goods, and, in
addition, does a general manufacturing business. In his workshops he has
an engine, planing mill and all modern machinery. In connection with this
is a first-class undertaking establishment; and his annual sales are from
$12,000 to $15,000. His son, William D., is associated with him, under
the firm name of H. Snyder & Son. Henry Snyder was born in Cumberland
County, Penn., February 23, 1828. His parents were natives of !
the "Keystone State" and of German descent. Of their family of nine
children, eight are yet living. The father's trade was that of a
carpenter, but in later years he preferred farming. He moved, with his
family, to Richland County, Ohio, about 1834, and to Kosciusko County,
Ind., in 1852, where he engaged in farming until his death, which
occurred in 1873. Henry Snyder was married in Ohio, January 1, 1850, to
Elizabeth R. Stough, and they have a family of two children-Sarah J., now
Mrs. Waidlich, and William D. Mr. S. is a Republican, a member of the I.
O. O. F. and himself and wife are members of the Lutheran Church.
