The TALES you probably never heard about

WILLIAM SNYDER

[Welland Tribune, 25 June 1897]

PERSONAL- It is with great pleasure that we notice that the Rev. Dr. Snyder’s son, William, after his long career as a student at the Buffalo high school, Galt collegiate and McGill university, was graduated at Mount Airy seminary, Philadelphia, having completed now also his three years course in theology. During these years of study he was thoroughly equipped for the work and accordingly was ordained Monday last week at Lancaster, Penn., in the Lutheran Synod of Pennsylvania. Since then he accepted a call to the English Bethany church at Reading, Penn., and begins his labors in July. In connection with this church he has to preach in the other church of the parish in German also. Before he leaves for his field of labor he will preach in Welland. We all wish God’s blessing to the Rev. William Snyder, and hope that as a Canadian he will meet with as great success in the future as in the past and add new laurels in scholarship and be blessed in his labors as pastor.
