  	20240101GHLn- Dawn Wick Schiller November 22, 2023 · Hello Potter County! I have mystery to solve here. The SNYDERS of Sweden Township, Potter County, go back to 1837 when Jacob Snyder b.1789 and his wife Catherine Houseknecht b.1790 settled there from Springwater, NY originally coming from Muncy, Lycoming county. Their grandson, Jacob Snyder b. 1842, (Father Daniel, Mother Mary Ann Shay) and Betsey Burt (Father Alanson and Mother Anna Lewis) had 3 girls who grew to adulthood, all of Potter County. Their names are Anna Snyder b1865 m. Edward Hovey, Helena Snyder b.1867 would marry Archibald VanWegen and James Cowburn and Fred Andrus. Then there is Alice Snyder, my great grandmother born in 1871 m. Benjamin McCracken, Frank Bump (among others..she married 4 times). The photo shows at least 2 of the 3 Snyder sisters with their daughters and grandchildren. They can be identified from left to right as: Anna Snyder Hovey with her arm on the shoulder of her sister Alice Snyder. The first child is Beth McCracken Cole granddaughter of Alice (from her son Elliott McCracken), then Vera McCracken, Alice's daughter, with her child Betty Jean Doodson (my mom btw b. 1922 and to help you date the photo her mother Vera would die in 1927). The lady peeking around from behind with the pearls is unknown and also unknown is the woman standing in front, with glasses, black coat. This is the mystery person. She looks like a Snyder to me and this is the woman I am trying to identify. I believe this is sister Helena Snyder. Her apparent age in comparison to the other sisters tell me she is of the same generation. (The woman with the scratched-out face is, well, unknown and clearly disliked!). Helena married James Cowburn and had a child Clarence Burt Cowburn of Potter County. She later married Archibald Van Wegen and had a son Maurice. Helena would then marry Fred Andrus also of Potter country and she and her son Maurice Van Wegen lived together until they removed to Michigan. So, perhaps some of you might have any knowledge of Helena and her marriages and children? Perhaps you might have pictures of Helena? Any tips would help. At the time my mother was alive she didn't know who that would be either, so any help would be great. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Comments Kaye Swift Baxter I’m not certain but I think the woman in the black coat is Betsy Williams Snyder married to Andrew Jackson Snyder , my great grandfather. 5w Reply Dawn Wick Schiller Hi Kaye Swift Baxter, perhaps, however I'm more likely to assume that the woman was born a Snyder and therefore the resemblance. Second Betsey Williams Snyder died in 1897, this picture was taken around 1927. 5w Reply Edited
