EPHRAIM W. SNYDER - was the son of Moses B. Snyder, and great grandson o f pioneer Jacob Schneider of Bloomingdale. He was born March 5, 1858 at Bloomingdale (Vernon Snyder farm). He was married to Susannah, daughter of Peter E. and Catherine (Fry) Eby, on March 14, 1880. She was born at St. Jacobs Feb. 16, 1861. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder came to Rosendale after their marriage. He was a day laborer and worked at various farm in the district . Market gardening was carried on here. Ephraim Snyder was handicapped in making a living as he was subject to fits of epilepsy. Medical science then did not know how to cope with this disease. An adopted daughter, Lewella, Mrs. John Robertson of Chesley, Ontario, says "One thing I remember, we were very poor. Dad was an epileptic so farming was out. We kept a few cows and a horse, grew berries and vegetables and attended the Berlin weekly market. We were just existing, not living" . She also remembers the school at Bloomingdale, and going to the Mennonite Sunday School with an old gentleman, Henry B. Wahl, in his horse and buggy, and reciting the Bible verses she had learned there. The years went on until one day Mr. Snyder suffered a severe epileptic fit; he became violent and went about brandishing a large butcher knife. The family was terrified but neighbors soon came to the rescue. It took five men to subdue the unfortunate victim. They secured him with heavy ropes and placed him on a democrat (carriage) and with the village constable, Tom Bedford, watching over him, he was taken to the Berlin jail where he was placed in a padded cell . From there he was moved to the Hamilton asylum. He lived for three months and died there on March 10th, 1903. (This information given by Mrs. Selina Weber, a neighbor living across the road at the time.)

The family continued to live here until March 20, 1905when the property was sold. Mrs. Snyder then moved to Port Elgin where her relatives resided.

Ephraim Snyder and daughter Hannah, who died in 1880, and son Hiram Oct. 25, 1882, are buried in the Mennonite cemetery, Bloomingdale.

Susannah (Eby) Snyder died Aug. 10, 1936 age 75, and son Jeremiah died June 19, 1948- both buried in Southampton cemetery. Daughter Lizzie, Mrs. Wesley Smith, resides in Saugeen Township, Bruce County.
