Assuming this is Charles' parents:
WWI & WWII draft registration information Charles states;
His birthdate of February 4, 1885 in both draft registrations and in WWI his wife is
listed as Myrtle. The WWII registration lists his wife as Pearl. This is his second
wife. (see below)
Also in the WWII draft registration he states his place of birth as Huntington Co., IN
which is where he is living in 1880 & 1900
In the 1900 census where Charles M. is living with his parents Constantine & Lena
Snider, his birthdate there is also listed as February but the year is 1884. (census
birthdates can be off by as much as 5 yrs. give or take)
After their marriage Charles Snyder(34), wife, Myrtle (27) and daughter, Evelyn (7) are
found living in 1920 Ward 3, Marion Co., Indiana.
I found a marriage record in Grant Co., IN for a Charles M. Snyder to a Pearl Smithson on
Sept 16, 1922 (Bk. 25, pg. 17) )Her maiden name was Armstrong - married Jonathan Smithson
in 1902, Grant Co., IN)
I also found this couple in the 1930 Gas City, Grant Co., Indiana census. He was first
married at the age of 26 (1911) and she was first married at the age of 17 (1903).
Pearl's son John Smithson is also living in the household.
This info is not proof positive. I think maybe requesting Charles M. Snyder's birth
certificate would possibly answer the question of parentage.
I also came across another marriage record in Wells County for a Charles Snyder. There is
also a marriage application posted that states his parents as Con & Leana. Looks as
if Charles may have been married prior to Myrtle. Requesting the marriage records might
also help in identifing Charles' parents.

I found two William Snyder's with son's named Charles. One is living in Miami
Co., IN in 1900. Charles was born in 1883. A later marriage record in Miami County has a
Charles Snyder marrying an Ada Shanabarger in 1892.
The other William Snyder is living in 1900 Liberty Twp., Wabash Co., IN with son Charles
P. (b: 1883)
In the 1910 Grant Co., IN census there is a Charles P. Snyder married to an Iva for 5 yrs.
There is a family tree posted on
ancestry.com regarding this William Snyder family.

I hope this has helped to clarify some of the info. My gut tells me (positive proof
needed) that Charles M. Snyder belongs to Constantine & Lena (Irwin) Snyder of
Huntington Co., IN. The birth and marriage records could possibly be the proof. Good
Luck!.......Karen
