Grant Snyder Farm

Grant U. Snyder, whose father was Franklin Snyder, post master of Bloom City, Wis., first came to Clark County in 1908 from Richland County. He and his wife, the former Orabelle Zimmerlee, daughter of Calvin Zimmerlee of Bloom City, were the parents of four children at that time. They settled in the town of Fremont in the Heathville School District where they bought a 40-acre farm from their cousin, William Zimmerlee. William had also come from Richland County years before and had lived on this farm for some time. He has one child, buried on the property.

Some time later, the Snyders purchased an adjoining 40 acres from Rex Kidd. The log house on this forty was then used as a Community Church. In time, all the old buildings on the main forty were replaced by new ones.

Five more children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, making them parents of sixgirls and three boys: Beatrice Falk, Hope Renne (deceased), Innis Stevens, Vere, Fluids Gilbert, Hazel Rohloff, Paul, Ruth Schlinsog, and Don.

After 33 years of farming, the Snyders retired to San Diego where Mr. Snyder passed away in 1945. Paul operated the farm for some time, but eventually, it was sold to Nathan Markham. In 1956, Mrs. Snyder passed away while residing with her son, Don, in Eugene, Oregon.

Gary Schmitz is now owner of the farm and has since made many improvements.
