Hannah Snider Shantz was born in Waterloo County, Ontario, April 23rd, 1857. She was married to Ephraim Shantz in 1873. She was one of the earliest settlers in the Didsbury district coming here with her husband and family in 1894 with a train load of settlers from Waterloo County, Ontario. At that time, with the exception of a few ranches there was no settlement in this district. Since that time, she has lived continuously in the district and witnessed its transformation from the bald prairie to a prosperous farming country. She was a member of the M.B.C. Church and was an ardent worker with the church at Didsbury since its inception. She was predeceased by her husband 21 years ago, shortly after they had built their home in town. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Abner Hunsperger and Mrs. Alvin Hunsperger, both of Didsbuy and a son Bert, of Alsask, Sask. Also two brothers, Amos Snider of May City, Iowa, and Jonas Snider of Waterloo, Ontario. The service was held in the MBC church at Didsbury, by E. T. Archer."
