About Snider Family - Cemetery:
Jeremiah Snider sold his farm in Virginia for $387.60 and came to Iowa 3 June 1843. It was for Abraham Snider's daughter Sarah, who died shortly after the family came to Iowa, that Jeremiah Snider, Sarah's grandfather, staked off the land for the Snider Cemetery. Abraham and his family didn't remain in Iowa very long because of the hardships of pioneer life in the unbroken country. Shortly after Sarah's death, Abraham and his family returned to Virginia, and then relocated to Greene County, PA.
