EDWARD SNYDER was born in York County, Pennsylvania on September 2, 1836. His parents were Henry Snyder and Eliza (Steffy) Snyder. He was their first child and his mother, Eliza, died soon after his death. Three years later, Edward's father married Eliza's younger sister, Catherine Steffy. Edward had a number of half-sisters and brothers who were born to his father and step-mother.
Edward's family moved to Morrow County in 1849, where they lived on the farm of his grandfather, John Peter Snyder.
Edward was confirmed in the German Lutheran Church at an early age but transferred his membership to the St. John's Lutheran Church in North Woodbury, where he remained a member until his death.
Edward acquired the nickname 'Lame Ed' fairly early in life due to an incident where one of his legs was badly scalded by boiling water. The Sesquicentennial History of Johnsville indicates that there were five persons in the vicinity of Johnsville named Ed Snyder and that 'in order to distinguish them, they were called Old Edd, Young Edd, Big Edd, Little Edd and Lame Edd.'
Edward and Sarah were married September 9, 1857. Edward and Sarah had four children of whom Henry Albert Snyder was the youngest. Their first daughter, Eliza Jane, died in 1873 at age 15. They had another child, Mary Ellen, who died in 1862 at age 2. Their other child was Emma Ann, who was born in 1862. Edward's obituary indicates that he and Sarah had a foster daughter but she was never listed on any of the U.S. census records.
Edward (Lame Ed) Snyder was a farmer. He was known to love horses and served as the judge of heavy horses at the Morrow County Fair. According to research done by Dan Snyder, Edward had a fondness for Lake Erie perch and he would order fresh fish from Sandusky by the barrel, ice the fish down at the B & O Depot and sell the excess fish door to door from his "skeleton buggy."
Edward and Sarah primarily spoke German or "Pennsylvania Dutch." They were both known to be "healers." Edward died in 1925 at the age of 89.
