• Notes

  Louisa (Louise) was the second of six children born to Amos Eby (1842-1923) and Esther Eby, née Moyer (1838-1930). She was born in Waterloo Township, Ontario, where her father was a farmer. In 1870, the family moved to a farm in Maryborough Township, Wellington County. Louisa married Edwin S. Snider in 1897. At the time, Edwin worked for his uncle, Dilman Shantz, at the Jacob Y. Shantz & Son Company, a button factory in Buffalo, New York. The 1900 United States Census finds Louise, Edwin, and a one-year-old daughter, Helen G., living in Rochester, New York. Edwin was a foreman in a button factory. This factory was operated by another of Edwin's uncles, Moses Shantz. By the time of the 1910 census, Edwin, Louise, Helen, and a son, Roswell, lived in Newstead, New York. Edwin's occupation was noted as superintendent in a button factory. The 1920 census shows that the family had returned to Rochester. The household included Edwin (age 47), Louise (50), and children, Helen G. (21), Roswell E. (18) and Edwin's mother, Lucinda Snider (71). Edwin was a superintendent in a button factory. In 1930, Edwin, Louise, and her mother, Esther Eby, lived in Ferndale, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. Edwin was listed as a button manufacturer. By this time, Helen and Roswell were living in New York City, where Helen was a musician, and Roswell, a scenic designer. Louisa died in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, in 1937. She was buried in the First Mennonite Cemetery, Kitchener, Ontario, near the graves of her parents, Amos and Esther Eby. Although both "Edwin S. Snider" and "Louisa Eby" are inscribed on the gravestone, it is uncertain whether he is buried at that spot, since his birth and death years (unlike his wife's dates) have not been added. The inscription for Helen G. Snider is on the back of the stone. Cemetery, First, North America, Waterloo Municipality, and First Cemetery. 1868. " Louisa Eby Snider (1868-1937) - Find A Grave...".
