George Wilder Snyder was the son of George G. Snyder and Sarah Wilder Hatch Snyder. George Wilder Snyder was born in Eldorado Co., California in 1850. His parents had fled Nauvoo in 1846, living in St. Joseph, Missouri for a couple of years before continuing on to the Salt Lake Valley in 1849. In the spring of 1850 they continued on to the gold fields of California where George Snyder built a boarding house and a ranch. George Wilder Snyder was born there.
