Notes:

Daniel S. Snyder, "was born December 5th, 1837. He was educated at the Bloomingdale schools and when old enough to give a helping hand on his father's extensive farm, the subject of our sketch had to put by his books and slate and go and drive the plow. Although devoting his attention chiefly to the agricultural pursuits, yet he found some spare moments which he very beneficially employed in posting himself in all political and municipal matters pertaining to his country. Soon after his moving to Woolwich Township he entered the council of that township and was councillor, deputy reeve and reeve in succession for a number of years. While in the council he was more noted for assiduous attention to business and a watchful care of the interests of the township than for oratorial display. He always gave his views, in plain but forcible language. During the many years he served in the council he was chairman of various committees, such as roads, bridges, claims, etc., and such was the confidence placed in him by his compeers that his reports and recommendations were generally adopted. In his habits he is plain and simple and at all times willing to accommodate and serve any person that requires his aid. On November 4th, 1860, he was married to Nancy, daughter of David and Mary (Mosser) Reist. She was born December 26th, 1840. Soon after their marriage they moved to Woolwich Township, about two miles north of Conestogo where he owns a farm of over 200 acres of land. To them were born eleven children"

Notes:

MICHAEL FRIES, SR. - Only a month after the death of his wife there passed away at his home here Michael Fries, Sr. The shock of his life partner's death and the pain of the parting was too much for his enfeebled body to withstand. The deceased was born near Heidelberg in 1889 (or possibly 1839, blurred). At the age of 22 he was married to Elizabeth Frey. They took up the duties of married life on a farm north of West Montrose, then mostly primeval forest. Here the deceased put in many a day's hard labor in clearing the forest and getting the land ready for the plough, while his wife looked after the housework and raised a large family of robust boys and girls. With industry they succeeded in building up a fine home for themselves. After about forty years of farm life, Mr. and Mrs. Fries came to spend the remaining years in quiet retirement in Elmira. They enjoyed good health until a few years ago when the infirmities of old age began to make themselves felt. The deceased is survived by a large family. They are Solomon of Saskatchewan, Veronica (Mrs. Henry Dobberthein of Iowa, Michael of Elmira, Margaret (Mrs. Wm. Dobberthein) of Elora, Daniel of Kitchener, Jacob of Elmira, John of Bollingbrook, Ont., Katie (Mrs. Plate) of Kitchener, Lydia (Mrs. Levi Snyder) of Woolwich. Christina, (Mrs. Arthur Rhodes) of Kitchener. Magdalena (Mrs. Armand Fulcher) of Elmira. One brother, Daniel of Kitchener, also 54 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren survive the deceased. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. L. Kalbfleisch of St. James church officiated. The pallbearers were six grandsons; Clayton, Fred, Clarence and Gordon Fries, Herbert Dobberthein and Gordon Plate.
