Reunion of descendants of Hans (Johann) Schneider.
The Snyder family reunions were begun by the descendants of David Snyder, a great-grandson of the first settler of the Snyders, Hans (Johann) Schneider. The first reunion was held on the old David Snyder estate, now owned and occupied by Jackson Snyder, one mile northeast of Oley Line, in September, 1904. In 1906, at the annual reunion, a historian was elected, Rev. Elam J. Snyder being chosen. The first history of the Snyders was read in connection with the reunion in 1907. At the same time it was decided to embrace in the reunion not only the descendants of David Snyder, but all Snyders who trace their ancestry to Hans Schneider.
The old family burial plot near Oley Line, in which are buried the first generations of the Snyders, was recently improved. It is the purpose of the organization to keep it in excellent order.
The officers at present are:
President, Harrison Yoder.
Vice-President, D. S. Brumbach.
Secretary, Samuel Reiff.
Treasurer, George W. Brumbach.
Historian, Rev. Elam J. Snyder.
