General Notes: Husband - William John Snyder


He received his education in the public schools of White Valley, in the neighborhood of Delmont, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. On leaving school he engaged in farming until the age of nineteen. At the end of a year Mr. Snyder went to Duquesne, Allegheny County, and learned the carpenter trade, and after three years moved to Pitcairn, where he established himself as a contractor and builder. Success attended the venture and in 1904 he moved to Trafford, where he then remained and became the head of an extensive business, his style being William J. Snyder, contractor and builder. In politics Mr. Snyder was a Prohibitionist; for six years he served as school director. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, in which he for six years or more held the office of elder. For three years he occupied a seat on the board of trustees, and on October 16, 1917, was a delegate to the church convention held in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.
