Hannah Snider Shantz was born in Waterloo County, Ontario, April 23rd, 1857. She was married to Ephraim Shantz in 1873.

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.
