Reunion of descendants of Hans (Johann) Schneider.
The Snyder family reunions were begun by the descendants of David
Snyder, a great-grandson of the first settler of the Snyders, Hans
(Johann) Schneider. The first reunion was held on the old David Snyder
estate, now owned and occupied by Jackson Snyder, one mile northeast of
Oley Line, in September, 1904. In 1906, at the annual reunion, a
historian was elected, Rev. Elam J. Snyder being chosen. The first
history of the Snyders was read in connection with the reunion in 1907.
At the same time it was decided to embrace in the reunion not only the
descendants of David Snyder, but all Snyders who trace their ancestry
to Hans Schneider.
The old family burial plot near Oley Line, in which are buried the
first generations of the Snyders, was recently improved. It is the
purpose of the organization to keep it in excellent order.
The officers at present are:
President, Harrison Yoder.
Vice-President, D. S. Brumbach.
Secretary, Samuel Reiff.
Treasurer, George W. Brumbach.
Historian, Rev. Elam J. Snyder.
