Lieut. Samuel Snyder, farmer, was born in Dauphin County, Penn., in 1830. He is the third of seven children of John and Elizabeth (Cortsnitz) Snyder, who are mentioned in the sketch of Hiram Snyder. Our subject was reared with few advantages of education, and came with his parents to Adair County. In 1858 he went to Lee County, Iowa, and five years later married Hester A., a daughter of Leonard and Nancy Tedro, of Scotland County, Mo. She was a native of Somerset County, Penn. Their children are Elizabeth (the wife of H. Houpt), Rachel (the wife of A. F. Cook), Arabella (now Mrs. J. R. Lankard), Maggie, Thomas, Susan and Jimmie, deceased. Samuel was engaged in teaming in West Point, Iowa, until 1860. For several years after that he was a farmer in this county, and in 1863 became a merchant at Ringo’s Point. The following year he joined Company B, Thirty-ninth Missouri Infantry, as second lieutenant. He soon went to Nashville, and arrived nine days after the fight. In April, 1864, he was made second lieutenant of Company H, in another organization. He then resumed merchandising, and about a year later returned to the farm, and since 1880 has been on his present estate. It embraces 200 acres on the prairie and twenty acres of timbered land. During the organization of the township he was assessor, and also served as postmaster for some time. His first vote was cast for Pierce, and he has never wavered from those principles.
