Mrs. Mary Snyder, who as a babe 94 years ago, journeyed with her parents across the Allegehny mountains in a covered wagon, and on down the Ohio river on a steamboat to Pomeroy, grew up and has lived in an age of rapid developments.
Ninety-five years old Saturday, she recalled that she had not been content to watch all of these developments, but whenever possible, she tried them out for herself. She has, in her time, used the modern household conveniences as they appeared on the market and on her 87th birthday, eight years ago, she climbed into an airplane for a sight-seeing trip over Dayton.
She spent the greater part of her life in Piqua, and only two months ago came to Dayton to make her home at the Timeus Home for the Aged at 35 Baltimore Street.
While she does not frown on aviation as a mode of travel, she doesn't plan to take any more trips via air, she says. She makes frequent trips to her five daughters who reside in various parts of the country, but makes the trips via rail.
She enjoys good health and spends the greater part of her daytime hours reading her Bible. She has been an active church worker since early youth, and recalls going to Sunday school for the first time when she was three years old.
She moved with her parents to Piqua when she was 15 years old, and married William D. Snyder there when she was 21 years old. She resided with her husband in Piqua until his death 22 years ago. After that she made her home with her daughters.
