| Notes |
John B. Snyder, "the eldest son of Jacob Snyder, Jr., and his second wife, Magdalena, Bowman, was born near Bloomingdale, October 24th, 1832. His boyhood days were spent on the farm during the summer, and during the winter he attended the public school of the neighborhood, receiving such an education as the schools then furnished. Being of a studious nature, he improved his time so well that he soon surpassed all the other members of his class. Having an idea of the advantages of a good education, his father had him placed in the Rockwood Acadamy where he remained for several terms. By the time he attained the age of seventeen years he was qualified to teach in our public schools. he taught for a short time then commenced life as a clerk. About the year 1855 he and his brother, Joseph, entered into partnership and opened a large store in Winterbourne where they did a successful business. In 1862 Mr. Snyder sold out his interest in the business and went to Conestogo where he, in partnership with Mr. Noah S. Bowman, opened a large and well stocked store. The partnership existed until 1872 when it was dissolved and Mr. Snyder retired from business for some time. In 1874 he moved to St. Jacobs where he again entered into the mercantile business, following it until he death which took place September 9th, 1885. Mr. Snyder's experience in the municipal council for Woolwich Township extended over a number of year, many of which he served as reeve, and was also warden of the county of Waterloo.
