General Notes: Husband - William John Kline Snyder, M.D.

---

He was reared on the old Snyder farm in Manor Valley, Westmoreland County, PA, and educated first at the local public schools. Having completed the elementary portion of his education, he matriculated at the Heidelberg University at Tiffin, Ohio, graduating therefrom with the class of 1892. He then took an additional year's work at the Wooster Medical College of Cleveland, Ohio. His final preparatory work was done at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, from which he graduated in 1895, and from there removed directly to Avalon, Pennsylvania, where he established himself in what proved a most successful medical practice. He was associated with the medical associations of his district, being a member of the Allegheny County, the Pennsylvania State, and the Ohio Valley Medical societies and the American Medical Association. Besides his professional connections, he had other important interests, having to do with the development of the financial and business life of Avalon. He was one of the organizers of the Avalon Bank, and held the presidency from its founding for a number of years. He also held membership in several orders and fraternal organizations. He was a member of Bellevue Lodge, No. 530, Free and Accepted Masons; of Bellevue Chapter, No. 287, Royal Arch Masons; Tankred Commandery, No. 48, Knights Templar; the Pittsburgh Commandery, Thirty-second Degree, and the Assyria Temple. He was also a member of the Colonel Bayn Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In politics Dr. Snyder was a member of the Democratic party, and took a keen and intelligent interest in all questions whether of local or general application. He was a member of the Reformed Church, attending the church at Avalon, while his wife was a member of the Presbyterian Church. [GPHWP, 553]
