Notes for William
Herrick Snyder:
In the fall of 1887
William H. Snyder and his brother Andrew mad the journey from Fulton Co.
OH to Gladwin Co., MI in a covered wagon. He bought 80 acres on wild land
that is now called the Tobacco River. He built a cabin there and lived
with Luella for over fifty years. They are both intered in Old Dale Cemetery
in Beaverton, MI. William H. Snyder was Tobacco Township Supervisor, and
helped to build the stone church at Dale, MI, that still serves the community
today.
Wedding
Anniversary Celebrated By Tobacco Twp. Pioneers
Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Snyder celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary Sunday at their
home in Tobacco township with a family reunion. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder are
pioneers of Tobacco township, having located there in 1887. Their
first home was a log cabin built from which they cut from the forests which
covered the location which they chose for their home. Their early experiences
were many and varied.
They hunted
wild animals on their new farm, floated their logs down the river to mill,
drove oxen over swampy trails from sun-up to sun-down for their supplies
from the nearest towns, and raised eight children, all present at the family
reunion. His eldest son, W. L. Snyder, and wife joined the festivities
by celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary. The following people
were present: Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Whitton and daughter, Lyons, Ohio; Mr.
and Mrs. W. L. Snyder, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Dundas and family, Royal
Oak, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Bracy and family, Ferndale, Mich.; Mr. and

Pays Tribute
to Wm. H. Snyder
An afternoon
in mid-September. A chilling northwest wind gave unerring notice of approaching
autumn. A clear sky, save for a seat red flock of fleecy clouds riding
in unison far above this world of joy and sorrow.
This it was
as the good folk of the surrounding communities were assembling at the
little stone church in Dale, a village located in one of the finest farming
sections in Gladwin County. Here you and old were gathering, all for one
purpose, that of paying honor and respect for a pioneer whom death had
called. A pioneer indeed, for who present could recall when he had not
been among them. The sun, hidden for the moment, comes forth in all its
brightness. The organ sends forth its slalom voice, the various groups
take their respective places and the last rites are held for William H.
Snyder.
Mr. Snyder
was born in Fulton County August 26th, 1860, and died September 14, 1937.
He was the son of Wm. Snyder who served on the side of the Union in the
Civil War. His mother, before her marriage was Angenette Herrick, a teacher
in the public schools. In the vicinity of his birthplace Mr. Snyder grew
to manhood, met and married Christina Smith, who one-year later death called.
On June 22, 1887, he was united in marriage with Luella Dunbar. In the
fall of ‘87, with his brother, they made the journey from Fulton county
to Gladwin in a covered wagon. Here he purchased the farm on which he had
since resided.
Always a farmer,
and as such, Mr. Snyder took his work seriously and the homestead that
bear his name stands as evidence of many years of earnest toil. He took
an active part in local government affairs, serving his township as supervisor
and other offices of trust. He was a man of fine character. His distaste
for sham and the false and his admiration for honesty and the better things
of life stamped him as a man among men. The writer, as he gathers
these notes from many fine tributes spoken in honor of the deceased, is
impelled to include the following line by Kramer:
The
day died with a food of crimson flame
That
bathed hills in beauty richly rare,
And
all the world bowed down and, I, too came
To
stand in wonder and to worship there.
And
then a small voice seemed to question me,
When
death shall come and I must gladly go,
Will
there be one to love my memory?
O
Lord, shall I, too, leave an after glow?
