July 1894 in Jay County Indiana. After years of blank walls I have had several important successes. I now know his father was James Snyder b. 1872. also in Indiana.

Now comes the Ohio part James's father was Franklin Snyder who "appeared" in Indiana, Had two families and disappeared again. He seems not to have died and been buried in the state of Indiana as was his wife. There is reason to believe he came from Ohio and went to Indiana. He would have been born about the mid 1800s.
