Snyder, Mrs. Caroline, was born in Montezuma, Wayne county, October 4, 1845. Her father, George G. Ellison,
came to the town of Dryden in 1859 and died in 1860, when the burden of the family fell upon Mrs. Susan Ellison,
and her five children, of whom Caroline was the eldest and who, seeing the necessity of being self supporting,
at once went to work, and has through force of character provided for herself from thirteen years of age up to
the present. At twenty two she married Conwell Snyder, son of John Snyder, who died in 1888, leaving his many business
affairs to be taken up and carried on by his wife, who with unexpected business ability has accepted the task and
achieved a remarkable success. Mrs. Snyder lives with her mother, Mrs. Susan Ellison, and also the mother of her
husband, Mrs. Maria Snyder, and is known as a true hearted, benevolent woman, superintending the farm of 125 acres,
which has forced her to lead an active life.
