Title: Joseph B. Snyder fonds
Physical description: 1 cm. of textual records (4 notebooks)
Biographical sketch: Joseph Bauman Snyder (20 Jan. 1854-25 Mar. 1938) was the son of Christian B. Schneider and Barbara Bauman Snyder. On 5 Dec. 1876 he married Veronica Weber (19 Jan. 1857-20 May 1934); they had twelve children. Their farm was near the present (2001) intersection of Country Squire Rd. and Northfield Dr. in Waterloo, Ontario.
Snyder was not ordained to office in the Old Order Mennonite Church, but his wife was the daughter of Minister Samuel Weber. Snyder took an active interest in church life as these four notebooks attest. He self-published the Supplement to Ezra E. Eby's Biographical history of early settlers and their descendants in Waterloo county in 1931.
