*****************
H.F. was reared near Lexington, Somerset Co., Pa. For many years followed the occupation of mining, but later located on the historic farm held some years previously by Wm. H. Hay (Pleasamt Hill Farm). H.F. also served as road superintendant for Elk Lick and Summit twps.
The Pleasant Hill Farm was first occupied by John Keagy in 1787, who sold the same to David Florry, who in turn sold the farm in 1807 to John Beegley, who built a log barn in 1812, and two years later the Dunkards held their first annual meeting this side of the Alleghenies, in that barn. John Beegley sold to his son, David, who in 1852 built a brick house on the property which is said to be the oldest brick house in Somerset County.
Judge Bear bought the farm for the Keystone Coal Co. in 1863 for $17,500. Reserving the coal he then sold the surface to David Hay, who in turn sold it to his son Wm.H. Hay, who beautified the place, making it his residence for the next 25 years. After Mr. Hay retired from farming it passed through the hands of Luke Hay, Hiram Hay, The Merchant Coal Company. H.F. Snyder (g-grandpa), the Bird Brothers, E.R. Hay and the Meyersdale Fuel Company.
The farm was owned by the Dunkards up till 1863 and since that time almost entirely by reformed people all of whom were active members of St. Paul's.
Mrs. Snyder was born February 22,1964 at Athens, Ohio. Her death occurred July 25, 1917, after a lingering illness of many months. She was brought up in the Winebrinarian Church, while Mr. Snyder was reared a United Brethren. When they located in the St. Paul section, they were both received into the fellowship of St. Paul's Reformed Church.
They were united in marriage, July 2, 1882, at Elk Lick by Rev. R. Smith, a Lutheran minister. To this union were born the following children: Albert F., Guerney, Lester E., Harry E. and Elmer S. Snyder.

Family lore has it that Harrison was called "Monty" short for his middle name of Fremont. He also often went by H.F. Snyder especially in formal/legal dealings.
