This is a brief biography of my grandfather, Laurence David Snyder, son of Ford and Minnie Dunn Snyder, great grandson of David R & Laura A Chase Snyder, and 2nd great grandson of Solomon & Hannah Stein Snyder.
When Laurence David Snyder was born on June 28, 1899, in Coudersport, Pennsylvania, his father, Ford, was 37 and his mother, Minnie, was 24.
He married Katherine Emaline Davey on December 24, 1919. It may have been a marriage of necessity due to the fact that Katie gave birth to their first child Margarite a couple months later in 1920. Sadly, the child died shortly after she was born.
For the first year of their marriage, the 1920 census record shows them each living in the household their parents. It's not known when they found their own home but a year later, on 9 March 1921 their second child was born, Dorothy.
By 1930 Laurence, Katie and children were living in an apartment at 804 S. Main Street. He was working as a truck driver for a milling company. A few years later, the family moved to Sweden Valley, it's been said they were living in a house owned by their son-in-law, Richard Herbstritt. Here tragedy was in store for the Snyder family.
In December 1936, while their son, Donald, was playing in the kitchen with a 12 gauge shot gun, the gun discharged, hitting his brother, Richard in the chest, killing him almost instantly. It was a dark and dismal Christmas and the year did not end without more heartbreak.
Laurence and Katie's daughter, Lucille, became deathly ill and on December 29 she too passed away. Katie was taken to a hospital to recover from her depression and Laurence was incapable of maintaining the household, leaving the task to his oldest daughter, Dorothy. In time Laurence and Katie recovered and were reunited. More problems plagued the Snyder family. Twice, their homes were lost to fire. Laurence died on January 1, 1950, at the age of 50.
'This photograph of Laurence David Snyder was probably taken next to his parents house a short distance north of route 49 at Seven Bridges, across the road from the Dunn Farm. The house is no longer there but many of his mother's, Minnie, Iris and Sweetwilliam flowers still grow along the road.'
'Laurence would have been 43 years old in the photo. The baby he's holding is his first granddaughter, Sandra L Herbstritt, daughter of his daughter, Dorothy, and Richard Herbstritt.'
'Laurence David Snyder's baptismal photo 1899'
'Laurence David Snyder, approximately 6 or 7 months.'
'Many times Laurence's name is misspelled. Invariably, every document found that shows his signature, he signed his name "Laurence Snyder"
Emeline was his wife, Katie's, middle name.'

Debbie Herbstritt Tautin I never knew Grandma Snyder was hospitalized for depression. What a terribly sad sequence of events.

Larry Herbstritt Mom told me that. She said they "took her off to the nuthouse" and that her dad was so overcome with grief, he couldn't function. She sounded like she resented it a bit that she had to take over the parental duties because she was the oldest.
