EZRA SNYDER THOMAS - son of Wm. B. and Hannah (Snyder) Thomas was horn at Rosendale April 10, 1857. He received his early education at the Bloomingdale Public school and was preparing himself for the teaching profession, and applied for a Class 3 Certificate when 19 years of age, 1876 as evidenced by a Minute Book of the Berlin Model School, on file at the Kitchener Public Library, but unfortunately he did not qualify. He assisted his father on the farm and also did some carpenter work.

He married Angeline Rudolph in his late 30's, and was eighteen years her senior. They resided on the father' s homestead, which property they acquired from the executors of Wm. B. Thomas after the death of his mother in 1907. Ezra Thomas was father of 15 children and believed firmly in the old rule of ''spare the rod and spoil the child" . He was the undisputed head of the house and no one dared to question his authority. The children attended S.S.#12 at Bloomingdale. Mr. Thomas attended the Mennonite church at Bloomingdale. A few horses, cows, pigs, chickens and geese were kept. He was a day laborer at the Henry B. Wahl farm for a number of years. Many of the neighboring farmers raised sugar beets and Ezra Thomas, his wife and the children would hoe and thin the beets. In 1934 he acquired from the Executor, Irvin C. Hallman, of Mary Snyder and Judith Snyder, his aunts, the following property in Lot #71 G.C.T. - 32-0-0 acres; 5-1-36 acres and 3.03 acres, mostly bush and swamp land. Mrs. Thomas died July 15, 1975, and Ezra Thomas June 27, 1939. Both buried in Mennonite cemetery, Bloomingdale..
