Additional info submitted by Sandie Cassiday:

George and Sarah Snyder did not have a son named Ralph - the others listed are correct. William had two more children with Myrtle in additon to Leo, a girl, Jessie, born in 1904 (Eugene Butts) died 1976 in Genesee Co, Mi. and a son, Arlie Theodore born in 1909 and who died probably between 1920 and 1930. William married 2nd to Lela Shufelt September 3, 1911 in Gladwin County, Michigan. They had one son, John William, before divorcing. Lela's son, Blair Charles Parkinson 1914-1920 was more than likely a son with William also (confirmed). With his 3rd wife, Florence, he had two children, both stillborn. He then married Mary Etta Silvers and they had the above named children and another son, William, who died at the age of 4 and is buried in Gladwin, Michigan. The last child of William and Mary, Everett Eugene, was adopted out due to the mother's health condition.

The death record for William in Beaverton in 1929, age 4, born St, Mary's, Ohio, father, William, mother, Mary Silvers. Buried in Skeels Cemetery.

Leo's (the son) mother in law's maiden name was Silvers, the same as Leo's step-mother, both from Auglaize Co, Ohio and no doubt related in some way.
