Snider - Forsyth - Home
194 Forsyth Dr, Waterloo
Part of Lot 22, German Company Tract


The Germany Company, originating in Pennsylvania, was initially comprised of 26 shareholders. These shareholders raised 10,000 pounds to purchase 60,000 acres of property which came to be known as Waterloo Township. The property was bought from Richard Beasley. He, along with two partners, had purchased a total of 94,012 acres from the Crown who held the land in trust for Chief Joseph Brant of the Mohawk or Five Nations Indians. This transaction took place in 1798.

Lot 22 of the German Company Tract originally comprised 448 acres stretching between boundaries now defined approximately by streets Erb and Glasgow. It was sold by David and Jacob Erb, agents of the German Company, to Abraham Gingrich in 1805. In 1815, David Gingrich, Abraham's son, sold the lot to John Binkley of Ancaster. Binkley, in turn, sold the entire 448 acres to Jacob C. Snider in 1842.

Jacob C Snider was a Mennonite. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1790 and worked as a yeoman. His wife, Elizabeth, was born in 1791. The house at 194 Forsyth Drive was built by Jacob C. Snider in 1845. This fact is recorded in the census records of 1861. The original house was a two-storey, typical Georgian frame with walls 15 - 16 inches thick. These walls were made of concrete and brick, and were covered by a clapboard exterior. The entire house, at that time, was comprised of the present day living room and centre hall.

In 1853, Jacob C. sold the property to his nephew, Samuel S., a farmer. In 1864, Samuel took out a mortgage for $6,000 from the Canada Permanent Building Society. The mortgage was discharged in 1863 according to the 1861 census. Samuel and his wife Anna had 8 children - Cyrus, Elizabeth, Catherine, Hiram, Samuel, Menno, Susanna and Titus. With a family of this size it is speculated that the money was used for very needy additions. These included four second floor bedrooms, a third floor attic, a dining room, and the present-day kitchen. The architectural design of the addition was Gothic rather than the original Georgian. This is evident in the pointed cathedral window, the centre peaked roof, and the decorative mouldings above the east and west entrances to the centre hall.

One of the interesting additions to the house involves a separate building of brick construction which may be entered from the living room of the main house. The date of this addition is unclear according to some reports. It was used as a laundry prior to 1936. In a recent interview with Mrs. Howard Snider, who moved into the house as a new bride in 1929,[Howard and Linda were married in 1919] this addition was referred to by her as the "milk house," for the farm was still operational in those years. Mrs. Snider's daughter recalls, "my sister was old enough then to do the selling [of milk] to the townspeople. We would bring the milk from the barn, and use the milk house as our dairy." It is quite possible, however, that this building had been constructed prior to 1851 as "the doddy house" of Jacob and Elizabeth, for the census records of that year described their home as a "one storey brick." It was a very common Mennonite practice in those days for parents to have an add-on building constructed to the home of a son or daughter. Housed in this room is an enormous Dutch oven which was used for cooking. It remains uncertain whether this was the original location, or whether it had been relocated from another area of the house. While the large metal doors used to close the oven have been removed to expose the hearth, the cranes for supporting huge cooking pots remain.

Of the 448 acre property, Samuel sold 117 acres to his son, Titus, in 1903 for $8,000. In 1908, the executors of Titus Snider sold the property to George H. Hahn for $10,550. Six years later, the land was returned to the Snider family, this time to Jacob S., a ninth child of Samuel S., born after the 1861 census. The cost was $17,550. For the same amount Jacob sold the land to his son Howard S. in 1929. Jacob and his family then moved to the farm house now designated as 131 William Street West [Waterloo]. Howard sold various parcels of his land off, including a sizeable portion to the Westmount Golf and Country Club, and 56 acres, a
at a cost of $16,782 to John Derby C. Forsyth.

The Forsyths, who purchased the property in 1936 never lived at 194 Forsyth Drive, the street which now bears his name. It was purchased as a guest house. Shortly after they acquired the property, the old barn was torn down and an elaborate new one was built. Pine beams from the old were salvaged and sawed into mellow panelling for the livingroom and master bedroom of the house. "He didn't want to leave the land empty," said Mrs. Forsyth, "so he put in grain and bought a herd of purebred Jersey cattle. He lost money every year."

In 1947, the house was sold to Dominion Life Assurance Company. They planned a housing development and put the house up for sale. While the tender of Dr. Archie Case was not the highest submitted, his plans for the house most appealed to the company, and the property became his the following year. In his renovations, three-quarters of the house was replastered, and the old fashioned closed stairway was opened onto the centre hall. Part of the livingroom was put up on jacks, and garages were constructed under it at basement level. Adverse to change of any sort in the refurbishing, Dr. Case contracted for copies of the rotting window sashes, interior trim; and clapboard for exterior repairs was specially milled.

In 1963, the house was sold to Mr. and Mrs. J. Askin. Subsequent owners to the Askins included Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Epp in 1978 - 1980, and a Ms. D. Crossan and a Mr. D. Zimmer, 1980 - 1982.

Much of the research for the history was done by Marg Rowell, Waterloo. This was printed with permission by Marion Roes from the framed history hanging in the hall of the 2008 owners.

House:
39 Doon Valley Drive is associated with three prominent citizens of Waterloo County. The first owner, the Honourable Adam Ferrie, was the founder of Doon Village. Samuel Snider, who purchased the property from Ferrie, owned the Blair Mill, as well as other mills that he and a partner operated in Bridgeport and Baden. Thomas Slee, one of the first trustees of the area, and the Doon Postmaster from 1867 to 1893, was the last significant owner of the property, purchasing it from Snider in 1878. In addition to its association with persons of historic significance, Doon Valley Drive (formerly Doon Village Road), was once an important linkage between the Village of Doon to Tow Town and Oregon (today Upper Doon).
39 Doon Valley Drive is unique in its use of building materials and the methods of construction. This one-and-a-half-storey house combined granite, limestone, fieldstone and lime mortar in its construction. It retains many original, intact features, such as the stone chimney with cove moulding, and the single door with a transom, on the north façade.<sup>1a

Erb Street (David Eby) Mennonite Church

Early services which began around 1837 were held in private homes. Land at the corner of Erb Street and Hallman Road, where the present-day cemetery is located, was donated by David Eby Sr. on July 14, 1851; a red brick church known as David Eby's Church was built in the same year. The first minister in the new church was Jacob M. Oberholtzer who served from 1852 to 1874. He was followed by Elias Schneider (1874-1889), Jonas Snider (1892-1900), Newton Weber (1921-1923), and Noah Hunsberger (1923-1929).

Due to a difference of opinion in the David Eby congregation, Sunday School classes were held at first in a private home, that of Levi Groff, beginning in 1887. The dissension which resulted culminated in a division in the church in 1889; the minister, Elias Schneider, and the deacon, Menno S. Shantz, left the church and joined with the Old Order Mennonites of Woolwich Township. The following year, 1890, saw the commencement of "Edification Meetings", which were held in the homes of members of the David Eby congregation. These meetings later became the Young People's Bible Meetings.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, it was recognized that the church building was either in need of repair or in need of complete replacement. Consideration was given to building a new church on the same site or on a site on King Street North. A decision was made to accept from Samuel S. Snider the donation of a parcel of land which was also on Erb Street, but nearer town. Excavation of the foundation for the new church began in the Spring of 1902. A dedication service was held on August 17, 1902. A parsonage was built in 1929 on land donated by Herbert Snider, the son of Samuel Snider. The church building was renovated and enlarged in 1949-1950; a dedication service was held on April 9, 1950. Further renovations were made in 1974.

Century-Old County Barn To Fall Before Wreckers


In the far dim past, long before the, dreams which were to become realities in the Westmount Golf and in Country Club and residential Westmount, the rolling acreage they now comprise was part of a 500-acre farm. The farm in extent embraced land which is now the property of the Dominion Tire Company.

From its fields were hauled annually tons and tons of hay and grain to be stored in the largest barn in Waterloo County.

That was a century ago or more. The barn, believed to be the oldest in the county, stands today, but it may not stand tomorrow. It is to be razed this week or next.

ON OLD SNIDER FARM

The structure stands on the old Snider farm at the extreme end of John street west, Waterloo, at the termination of John boulevard.

The 500-acre farm, as years passed, was divided. The original farm was reduced to 300-acres. Later another section became part of the Westmount Golf Club property.

Two years ago the last remaining 60 acres with the original buildings passed from the Snider hands. The farm was purchased by J. D. C. For- syth and is now the Forsyth Fornsac Ranch.

The barns, the original structure and additions made during the years, one at least half a century ago, are to be removed and a new barn erected.
In the new structure are to be used some of the materials of the time-honored structure at least the four main beams, each 45 feet long and 15 inches square.

The original barn. 50 by 80 feet may have been built 126 years ago. A straw shed 40 by 45 feet was added about 55 years ago. It is thought to have been the largest barn in the county for many decades although other large barns have been erected in the last 30 or 40 years.

WAS BORN ON FARM

Samuel S. Snider, 183 Erb street west, Waterloo, 85 years of age, is authority for the fact that the barn has stood for 85 years and more. His parents owned the farm and Mr. Snider was born on the farm. His father's name was also Samuel S. Snider. Mr. Snider believed the barn built before he was born, would be the oldest in the county and probably the largest until more recent years.

Incidentally the house on the farm is probably as old or nearly so. The home has likely been altered at times and recently has undergone complete renovation.

Just when the barn was erected and by whom could not be definitely learned. Mr. Snider believed it had been built by his grandfather. Jacob C. Snider (his mother's father.)

Genealogical records contain the following: that Samuel S. Snider (father of Samuel S. Snider, residing on Erb street, Waterloo, and now 85 years of age) was born in 1821, On March 5, 1844, he was married to Anna, daughter of Jacob C. and Elizabeth (Cressman) Snider. After his marriage, he moved on a farm adjoining the town of Waterloo where he was engaged in farming for a number of years.

AT LEAST 94 YEARS OLD

Since his father had not erected the barn, Mr. Snider believed it was there when his father went to live on the farm after his marriage in 1844.

This would make the age of the barn at least 94 years.

The farm itself is one of the oldest In the county. It has been operated for nearly 126 years since about 1812. Just at what date the barn was built however by Jacob C. Snider cannot be determined.

The records of Jacob C. Snider, grandfather of the present Mr. Samuel S. Snider, show that he was born in Franklin County, Penn., Feb. 19, 1791. In 1812, he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of John and Anna Cressman. "Soon after his marriage (in 1812) he moved on his farm a little to the west of the town of Waterloo."

"Not many years after his arrival in Waterloo county, he purchased the mill property belonging to the estate of Abraham Erb. Here he was engaged besides farming in the milling and saw milling and later erected a distillery."

The farm, originally owned by Jacob C. Snider and operated by him (while the war of 1812-14 was in progress), and then by his son- in-law, Samuel S. Snider Sr., passed into the hands of Samuel S. Snider's son, Titus Snider (brother of the present Samuel S. Snider).

It left Snider hands for a time when it was operated by George Hahn but came back into the family when it was purchased by Jacob Snider (also a brother of the present Samuel S. Snider), Howard Snider, a son of Jacob Snider, took over the farm probably ten years ago. selling it to Mr. Forsyth two years ago.

Their Farm Home Is 83 Years Old

Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Snyder, R.R. 1, Lexington, who were married in Kitchener, then Berlin, 60 years ago today. Mrs. Snyder's birthplace is now the Westmount golf course. Their Lexington home overlooks the airport.

Diamond Bridegroom and Bride See Many Changes

Sixty years ago the land opposite the Benjamin Snyder homestead at Lexington was a farm where crops were planted, grew and were harvested season by season. Today the same land is the location of a bustling airport. Sixty years ago the Samuel Snyder homestead south of Waterloo was a also a farm, where also the land was tilled industriously. Today that area is a golf course dedicated to the pursuit of recreation. Thus both Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Snyder, R.R. 1, Lexington, who are observing their diamond wedding anniversary today have had particular opportunity to observe the changes that have occurred in their lifetime. For Mr. Snyder was born and has lived his life on the Benjamin Snyder homestead which once overlooked a pioneer farming countryside and now overlooks the outcome of modern science -an airport, and Mrs. Snyder was born on the Samuel Snyder [Snider] farm near Waterloo which in her lifetime has been converted from a pioneer homestead into a golf course. Mr. Snyder who is 83 years of age, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Snyder and he was born and still resides on the farm that was cleared by his grandfather. The farm house still used by Mr. and Mrs. Snyder is 83 years old, having been built the year Mr. Snyder was born. Before her marriage, Mrs. Snyder was Miss Susannah Snyder. She was born 80 years ago, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Snyder, whose farm was the land on which the Westmount golf course is now located. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder were married quietly in Kitchener, then Berlin, 60 years ago today. Immediately after their wedding they went to live at Lexington and have remained there since that time. Their family includes three children, Mr. Milton Snyder on the homestead, Mrs. D. Reichert, St. Catharines, and Mrs. Ferman Brubaker of Kitchener. Their only grandchild is Mr. Bob Brubaker.

Mary Snider 1863 - 1930

At the beginning of this century, there were few women with careers other than homemaking - even single women. Mary Snider was one of those few. As matron of an orphanage, her career was still related to homemaking, but as head of a public institution, she had contact with the "world" in a way that most women of her time did not.

Matron of the Orphanage

Mary Snider was born on January 13, 1863 to Samuel S. and Anna (Snider) Snider on a farm adjoining Waterloo. In 1896 Rev. and Mrs. Stoltz of the United Brethren Church initiated the establishment of an orphanage in the town of Berlin (now Kitchener). By the time of the official opening on December 19, 1896, Mary Snider had been appointed matron at a salary of eight dollars per month. She had two assistants who received six dollars per month. The orphanage was located at the corner of King and Wilmot (now Victoria) Streets, with fifteen children in residence. In the early days of the orphanage, the monthly budget was 30 dollars, with Dr. Honsberger giving free medical services and Mr. Thomas free shoe repairs. Bell Telephone installed the telephone in 1904. The company gave an annual donation of $12.50, thus cutting costs in half. By May of 1901, one hundred children had been given shelter at one time or another. Mary Snider had obviously found her niche in this busy household of children who suffered the loss of parents. One morning in 1904 Mary found a basket on the front steps. Investigating its contents, she found a newborn baby boy. Mary's mother heart was touched as she nursed him through the first critical stage of infancy. She would later tell him that when he cried (which he did a great deal) she would take him to her own room. Thus a bond was formed and she eventually legally adopted him. She named him James Edward, but he was known as Edward. Whether she ran into any legal obstacles, we probably will never know. One also wonders what encouragement, if any, she, as a single woman, received from friends and colleagues. Under Mary's care, Edward received a good education and grew up to be a handsome, capable young man. Mary bought a car in the early 1920s, but Edward was the driver. At this time Mary Snider was a member of the Berlin Mennonite Church (now First Mennonite of Kitchener). She was evidently a very active member, for Eli Hallman, a minister and evangelist in the Mennonite Church would later recall, that Mary and others "...insisted that I become a member of the Mennonite church and assist them as Young People." In the 1920s this congregation found itself pressured by Conference to discipline the women who were wearing hats instead of the bonnet which was being prescribed for the women of the church. Women in the city had generally been accustomed to wearing hats to their places of work and did not look upon this "legislation" very favourably. Mary Snider, in her position and employment, would have been very much affected by this turn of events. A large group, among them one of the ministers, Urias K. Weber, sympathized with the women rather than with the Conference. When the women came under church discipline, this group withdrew and organized an independent congregation - Stirling Avenue Mennonite church. Mary was somewhat vocal during this dispute. At one point she complained that an unfair distinction was being made between men and women in legislating dress regulations.

Ladies' Aid to Women's Missionary Society

No doubt the orphanage and its needs for services was one of the factors which led to the establishment of the Ladies' Aid (first called Sisters' Aid) at the Berlin Mennonite Church. Although the orphanage was a community effort, the Mennonites were always involved on the board as well as providing assistance. Mary Snider had been involved in the organization of the Sisters' Aid in 1908, acting as secretary of the organizational meeting. At that meeting, she was elected assistant secretary-treasurer. It was customary for the Ladies' Aid to have their annual meeting at the orphanage. In 1924 the women met there as usual. They took supper along for themselves, the staff, and the children, with additional donations of eggs, canned fruits and pickles. The president was Mrs. M. C. Cressman, but Mary Snider, the 3^rd vice-president, served as chairlady of the meeting. The women from the two congregations continued to meet together, but because of pressure from the leadership, they finally organized into separate groups. The Stirling women met at the home of Mrs. M. B. Shantz on March 25, 1925 and organized the Women's Missionary Society of the Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church. Miss Mary Snider was elected president of the executive committee. A representative of the Stirling WMS then attended the annual meeting of the Ladies' Aid on March 31 at the orphanage to make a presentation to the president, Mrs. M. C. Cressman, giving their formal "good-byes" to their former colleagues. The separation freed the Stirling women to take on projects which other Mennonites were still hesitant to support. Some of them became strong supporters of and active in the Women's Christian Temperance Union. They continued to support the Leprosy Mission and the Victorian Order of Nurses and to provide canned goods for the orphanage and the Freeport Sanitarium. Mary was an energetic, capable woman, aware of the needs of her own city, and interested in the world beyond. The suggestions for new projects frequently came from her. One of her suggestions was a cradle roll department in the Sunday school. In 1927 the WMS appointed Mary Snider as the first superintendent. When the time came to replace her, the women discovered that the Cradle Roll was not considered a congregational effort; so the WMS continued to made the appointments. Mary resigned from her position at the orphanage about 1927 and bought a house on Fairview Avenue, not far from the Stirling Avenue church. In 1928 Edward was elected Sunday school superintendent, and in the summer of 1929 he married Kathleen Brubacher. There was little preparation for the tragedy which awaited this family group. In February of 1930 Edward suffered a ruptured appendix. Peritonitis set in, and he died on February 23. Broken hearted, Mary died the day of Edward's funeral. The people of Stirling were stunned by the loss of these two people. "Like a comet Mary brightened the lives of many in our church and in our community," was how Anne Millar, many years later, summed up Mary's life and contribution.

Notes:

Erb Street (David Eby) Mennonite Church

Early services which began around 1837 were held in private homes. Land at the corner of Erb Street and Hallman Road, where the present-day cemetery is located, was donated by David Eby Sr. on July 14, 1851; a red brick church known as David Eby's Church was built in the same year. The first minister in the new church was Jacob M. Oberholtzer who served from 1852 to 1874. He was followed by Elias Schneider (1874-1889), Jonas Snider (1892-1900), Newton Weber (1921-1923), and Noah Hunsberger (1923-1929).

Due to a difference of opinion in the David Eby congregation, Sunday School classes were held at first in a private home, that of Levi Groff, beginning in 1887. The dissension which resulted culminated in a division in the church in 1889; the minister, Elias Schneider, and the deacon, Menno S. Shantz, left the church and joined with the Old Order Mennonites of Woolwich Township. The following year, 1890, saw the commencement of "Edification Meetings", which were held in the homes of members of the David Eby congregation. These meetings later became the Young People's Bible Meetings.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, it was recognized that the church building was either in need of repair or in need of complete replacement. Consideration was given to building a new church on the same site or on a site on King Street North. A decision was made to accept from Samuel S. Snider the donation of a parcel of land which was also on Erb Street, but nearer town. Excavation of the foundation for the new church began in the Spring of 1902. A dedication service was held on August 17, 1902. A parsonage was built in 1929 on land donated by Herbert Snider, the son of Samuel Snider. The church building was renovated and enlarged in 1949-1950; a dedication service was held on April 9, 1950. Further renovations were made in 1974.
