Pioneer Hotel Keeper, Joseph Snyder
JOSEPH SNYDER, the pioneer hotel keeper of Shamokin, was born in New Jersey, October 10, 1796, and grew to manhood in his native place.
He received a fair English education. He married Annie Heller, also a native of New Jersey, born September 18, 1794, who bore him the following children:
Amelia, who was twice married, first to Joseph Enoch, and after his death to Jonathan Farnsworth;
Harmon, deceased;
Rachel, deceased wife of Alem Sechler;
Eleanor;
David, deceased, and
John B.
In 1818 Mr. Snyder came to Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, and settled in Rush township, where he engaged in farming. He afterwards opened a hotel at Snufftown, and in 1835 located in Shamokin with the intention of keeping a hotel. He, however, remained only a brief time, as there was nothing for him to do in that line, and no apparent prospect of the hotel business becoming any better. He returned to Snufftown, but in January, 1836, again came to Shamokin and took possession of the same building, now a part of the Hotel Vanderbilt, which he conducted several years. He then accepted the office of resident land agent, which position he held for many years.
Towards the close of his life he purchased the farm now owned by his son John B., lived upon it two years, and then returned to Shamokin, where he resided until his death, February 1, 1867, in the seventy-first year of his age.
His widow survived him until August 6, 1881, dying in her eighty-seventh year. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and a very worthy woman.
Politically Mr. Snyder was a staunch Democrat, and filled several minor local offices. He was one of the organizers of the First Presbyterian church of Shamokin, and was largely instrumental in the erection of the first church built by that denomination in 1847. He was a good citizen, a man of plain, unpretentious character, and straightforward in all his dealings with his fellow-men.
