SNYDER----Died December 21, 1882 at her home five miles northeast of Danville, in this county, Sarah Snyder, wife of Andrew Snyder, in the seventy-fifth year of her life.
Mrs. Snyder, the daughter of George and Sarah (Beam or Bean) Baker, was born near the mouth of Grove Creek (Or Grave Creek?)in Marshall County in West Virginia, on the 2nd day of October, 1808. (some accounts say 1804)
She grew to womanhood and on the 31st day of January 1828, she was married to Andrew Snyder. In the Spring of 1844 they, with their family, moved to and settled in this county, where they have continued to reside ever since. She was a member of the Episcopal Methodist church for fifty-eight years and (led a) consistent life she adorned the profession she made as a follower of the Savior. She leaves a husband and seven children, all of whom were at her bedside at the time of her demise to mourn her departure, but they sorrow not without hope for they know that what is to an irreparable loss is to her a great gain.

(I was not able to determine, as yet, if the location of her birth was near "Grove Creek"? or "Grave Creek" which is a famous location of the death of her ancestor, Capt. John Baker who was the builder of Baker's Station in this area in what is now West Virginia. Also, the parents, George and Sarah Baker, are reportedly buried somewhere in Brown Co., Ohio which was supposedly their last residence together. Sarah Baker outlived her husband and could possibly be buried back in West Virginia maybe the Wheeling area--but at present no one has located either of their graves. George Baker reportedly died by 1845 and Sarah possibly Between 1850--1852 or so--she was quite elderly. Sarah seems to have been alive in the 1850 U.S. Census with a related Snyder girl living with her in Virginia.

They were the parents of the following children: Rachel Snyder Little--Aspen Grove Cem., James Snyder, Trinity Cem., Elizabeth Snyder at Carter Cem., Mary Ann Snyder at Carter Cem., Caroline Snyder Grogan at Carter Cem., Sarah Ellen Snyder Crocker (my direct ancestor) at Trinity Cemetery,Mt. Union, Ia.; William Wesley Snyder at Carter Cem., Louisa Jane Snyder Miller at Packwood Cem, Packwood, Ia., Theodore B. Snyder, Fort Madison, Ia., grave not presently located, Wilbur J. Snyder, Aspen Grove Cem., Burlington, Ia.
Wm & SJ. Donath #48116482 Andrew and Sarah Snyder were my great-great-grandparents with George and Sarah Beam/Bean Baker as my grt. grt. grt. grt. grandparents.
I now seems through further research that the name was BEAM or possibly spelled in the original Boehm---S. Donath
