  • James Franklin Snyder was born on 16 December 1844.3
  • He was the son of George Snyder and Sarah Deppen.
  • Some sources record that James Franklin Snyder was born on 21 December 1844, Otto Station, Northumberland County, PA.4,5
  • He married Anna Eliza Witmer, daughter of Daniel Witmer and Rebecca Rehrer, circa 1872.6
  • At the time of the 1880 Census, James and Anna were living on a farm in Lower Mahanoy Township, Northumberland County, PA.7
  • In 1900, they were living in Jackson Township, Northumberland County, most likely in a house that they had built around 1900 just north of Herndon, PA. Simon Grant Lemon and Maggie Verdilla (Snyder) lived on this farm after James's death. It is not clear exactly when when they moved there, but they were living there from after sometime in the 1920's. Both Simon Grant and Maggie died there. After Maggie's death, their daughter Helen and her husband Guy owned the farm after that and lived there, with Heln's aunt, Annie (Snyder) Lawer, until after Guy's death in 1961. This property today appears to be 5907 State Route 147, according to Google Maps, just north of what is now the Herndon Reload Company.8

  • His estate was probated on 11 April 1928; James's will was probated April 11, 1928 in Northumberland County, PA. A newspaper article recounted its key provisions:
    Jackson Township Man's Will Filed
    Leaves $6,000 Trust Fund For Wife and Directs Remainder To Be Divided Among Children
    The will of James F. Snyder, late resident of Jackson township, was filed for probate in the office of Register and Recorder John I. Carr at Sunbury this morning.
    The will provided for the division of an estate of approximately $25,000. A trust fund of $6,000 is provided for the deceased's wife and the remalnder of the estate is ordered divided between Mr. Snyder's five children. They are: William I., Charles I., Clarence C., Mrs. Grant Lemon and Mrs. Snyder Lauer.
    Upon the death of Mrs. Snyder the will directs that the trust fund is to be divided among the children.

  • A handwritten sheet, apparently taken from a now lost Snyder Family Bible, stated:
    grandfather John Jacob Snyder born Nov 22 1780 and died May the 29 1851 age 70 years 6 months and 7 days, text 2 Timothy 4:78 verse
    and grandmother Mary Snyder was born June 7 1783 and died Dec 31 1861 age 78 years 6 months & 24 days, her text was John 11:36 verse
    According to notes by CG Klinger, both his mother Helen (Lemon) Klinger and his aunt Annie (Snyder) Lauer thought this sheet was written by James Snyder's wife Anna (Witmer) Snyder.
