SNYDER FAMILY REUNION
Descendants of Barry Lansdom Snyder & Melissa (Cook) Snyder
(About 1950) 

The above photo and the one below were submitted by Sharon Smith.  Her husband is a g-g-grandson of Ida Snyder Smith who was a daughter of Barry Lansdom Snyder (b. March 22, 1849, d. March 29, 1939) and Melissa Ann (Cook) Snyder (b. June 4, 1845, d. Oct. 10, 1934).  Most of the Snyders were from Farmington, Bonne Terre, and surrounding areas in St. Francois County, Missouri.  The above photo was taken at Desloge City Park at a family reunion held about 1950. Sharon would appreciate assistance in identifying any of the individuals in these photos.  Please click HERE to e-mail Sharon. 

***********************

Additional Information:  Sharon was contacted by someone in January 2005 who advised that the first couple standing on the far right (second row) in above photo is Jean Momot and Frank Momot (now deceased) and the girl standing next to Jean is believed to be Jean's sister, JoAnn (Mrs. John) McDowell.  Also, this person advised Sharon that the parents of Jean and JoAnn  (who were named Snyder) are the couple in the middle of that row, but she can't recall their first names.  Jean and JoAnn both presently reside in Farmington.  Sharon also has been contacted by a couple of individuals who have referred to this reunion as the "Eaves Reunion" so some of the folks pictured may be named Eaves.  

The above is a photo of children of Barry and Melissa (Cook) Snyder taken at the same reunion as above photo.  Sharon believes that her husband's g-g-grandmother, Ida Snyder Smith, is third or fourth from the left, but she's not sure.  If you can help Sharon positively identify the individuals in this photo, please click HERE to e-mail Sharon.   These photos were given to Sharon by Charles and Kathy Green.  Kathy Green is also a descendant of Barry and Melissa (Cook)  Snyder.    

Additional Information:  Barry Snyder and Melissa (Cook) Snyder are buried at Bonne Terre Cemetery.  We have also seen their first names spelled as Berry and Malissa.  Names of their known children are:  Julia (Mrs. Charles) Eaton;  Malinda; Effie (Mrs. William) Papin; Ida (Mrs. Albert) Smith; Mary; Rose (Mrs. Abe) Eaton; Ella; George Snyder; William Washington Snyder; and John Henry Snyder.  William Washington Snyder died Nov. 12, 1957.  He was married to (1) Lillie James and (2) Mildred Pratte, both of whom preceded him in death.   George Snyder was married to Nettie (Mathis) Whaley, daughter of  Thomas and Julia Mathis.  She died July 16, 1935, and her funeral was held at home of Nancy (Mrs. John) Dosing (nee Whaley) in Flat River, Missouri.
