Another of Garrett County's aged citizens has been called away July 3, 1906. This time the message came to Andrew Snyder, who had for more than forty years lived on a little farm, two miles north of Bittinger, this county. His health had been failing for a year past, and lately dropsy had set in. The man had made his peace with God, and so was enabled to bear his severe sufferings with Christian fortitude. From early youth he had been a member of the Lutheran church, and the faith taught him in childhood helped him to triumph in old age. The writer administered the last rites of the church to the aged sufferer and buried him by the side of his wife and two sons in "Gottes Acher" at Bittinger (Cemetery) on the fifth of July. A very large concourse, children, kindred and friends gathered to his funeral, thus witnessing that he was held in high esteem.
Andrew Snyder was a native of Germany, but came to this country in early youth, seeking a home in Western Maryland.
He served a short term in Battery "G", 3rd Pa H"y Artillery as an "unassigned recruit". The writer was an officer in that command at the time. Since the war Comrade Snyder has lived quietly on his little farm, raising a large family. Seven of his children survive him. Fourteen comrades stood around his grave, and we laid him down to his final sleep with the honors of war, and the benediction of peace. S.
His children are Margaret Snyder Lohr (1850)
Caroline Snyder Engle (1855)
Augustus Andrew Snyder (1858)
Henry Snyder (1862-1882)
Frederick Snyder (1863)
Katherine Dora "Kate" Snyder Stanton (1868)
Elizabeth "Liz" Snyder (1869)
Adam Snyder (1871)
Edward "Eddie" Snyder (1877-1883)
