| Notes |
Jonas Snider, "was born October 2nd, 1858. His boyhood days were spent on the farm he now possesses. The long summer months were engaged in performing such duties generally allotted to the juvenile race, while the winter time was engaged in attending the public school of the neighborhood where he received such an education generally furnished by those schools. When a young man he joined the church of his choice, the Mennonite, of which body he is held in high esteem for his many noble qualities. On June 24th, 1892, he was ordained to the ministry of the Mennonite Church. His sermons are characterized by ability and great faithfulness and are well received by his congregation and others. As a minister he is a diligent and faithful worker and pursues his calling with great devotion, doing good unto all. On April 1st, 1879, he was united in matrimony with Lucy Snyder who died June 15th, 1886. On July 5th, 1887, he was again married to Susannah Horst. Mr. Snider's family consists of nine children, of whom the four eldest were born unto his first wife..." |
