	Snyder sisters Anna Hovey, Helena vanWegen Cowburn Andrus and Alice McCracken Bump...
	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

	Mrs. Alice Bump-McCracken Nearly Killed, Stabbed and Slashed by Her Cousin Fred Suhr
	20200324HAv- -CLIPPED FROM The Potter Enterprise Coudersport, Pennsylvania 19 Nov 1908, Thu • Page 1 BY tim_nenno • 25 Feb 2018 Mrs. Alice Bump-McCracken Nearly Killed Stabbed and Slashed by Her Cousin Fred Suhr Mrs. Alice Bump-McCracken, was attacked last Saturday morning by Fred Suhr and nearly killed. She is in a very serious condition but it is believed that she will recover if blood poison does not set in. Mrs McCracken was spending the day with her mother, Mrs. Snyder, who lives about one and a half miles from Ulysses. For some time it has been thought that Fred Suhr was insane and several months ago proceedings were begun to have him removed to an asylum but as he seemed improved and harmless, he was permitted to remain with his parents who are highly respected people and who have the sympathy of everyone in the terrible calamity that has befallen them. Fred is their only son and naturally a good ambitious boy and a great source of comfort to his parents. On Saturday he had heard that his cousin Alice was at her mother's home and expressed a desire to see her. His father tried to persuade him not to go to the Snyder home but he insisted. The father feeling un-easy followed him. The unfortunate young man entered the home of his aunt and at once made a desperate dash for Mrs. McCracken with a butcher knife that he had concealed in his coat sleeve. He stabbed her five times in the back, twice In the neck and several times in the face. There are two savage gashes in her throat, just missing the jugular vein, In fighting for her life her hands were terribly cut, the little finger of one hand being nearly severed. The insane boy seemed to have no desire to injure anyone else and Mrs. Snyder fought desperately to save her daughter and but for her aid, Mrs. McCracken would undoubtedly have been killed. The unfortunate young woman was Immediately removed to her home in Ulysses and Dr. Church was summoned and everything possible done to alleviate her suffering. Her throat is so badly lacerated that it is with difficulty that nourishment is taken, still it is believd she will recover. After the horrible assault, Suhr took to the woods and Immediate hunt was made for him but the searchers failed to locate him. However, about ten o'clock he returned to his home and was taken from there to Ulysses where he was locked up. He said that before the attack he hated Alice but that since that he did not. He had made threats against other residents of the neighborhood, among them being O. E. Crandall and there was general uneasiness and alarm throughout the vicinity until he was safely lodged behind the bars. Tuesday morning a lunacy commission consisting of Drs. Church and Eaton of Ulysses and Prothonotary F. N. Newton investigated the case and found the young man insane. He was brought to Coudersport Tuesday and lodged in Jail. The order of Court was that he be taken to Warren by the sheriff and he will be taken there at once.

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.

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.

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.
