  • Notes 
    • JDS notes-This bio is for George born in 1883, but it talks about his parents, siblings, etc. He spelled his name Schneider as in Kukkus, but this bio and AHSGR Fresno death notes spell it Snyder. It is Schneider on his grave marker, so it seems that he may have been back to using Schneider at his death.

      AHSGR Fresno notes give his father as "Adam Snyder" and his mother as "Mary Snyder." The father was actually Georg Adam Schneider born about 1825 in Kukkus, and the mother I think was Elisabeth Katharina Beltz born about 1827. "Mary Snyder" was likely a (bad) guess by some kid.

      Biography taken from pages 2435-6 of "History of Fresno County California With Biographical Sketches of the Leading Men and Women of the County Who have been Identified with its Growth and Development from the Early Days to the Present," by Paul E. Vandor, Historic Record Company, Los Angeles, California, 1919: GEORGE SNYDER. - An energetic farmer who has succeeded as a horticulturist and viticulturist, and by so doing has advanced California agriculture and has added to the wealth of the state's improved resources, is George Snyder, who was born near Volks, Samara, Russia, on November 9, 1883, the son of George Schneider, who was a farmer there. One of his sons had come out to the United States and to Fresno County as early as 1900 and two years later the father brought his wife and the balance of the family to California and settled in Fresno. Here he engaged in farming and viticulture, and such was his reward that he is now able to live retired. Barbara Schneider, his wife, also lived for years in Fresno County, and here she died, the mother of four boys and two girls. Lizzie is Mrs. Busick of Fresno; Peter is a rancher near Barstow; Christine has become Mrs. Baude of Fresno; George is the subject of this review; and Conrad and Henry are ranchers not far away. George was brought up in his native place and educated there in the public schools; and when he was eighteen years of age he came, in May, 1902, to Fresno County. He soon went to work on a fruit ranch for one dollar and a quarter a day, but although he had to board himself, he saved and got ahead. For two seasons Mr. Snyder worked at haying for Robert Mclndoo, and when the latter sold out, he bought a team and outfit on time, and started teaming in Fresno. A year later he purchased a hay baler, and for nine seasons he teamed a part of the year and contracted to bale hay for the rest of the time. Then he leased an orchard and a vineyard of 120 acres at Parlier, where he went into partnership with Charles Scharer. He had previously raised grain on leased land with his brother Henry, thus acquiring some experience of value later, and then he had bought forty acres in Barstow, which he set out with Thompson seedless grapes and three years later sold at a profit. He and his partner now took charge of this peach orchard and vineyard of Thompson and Muscat grapes; but when the property was disposed of, they had to relinquish the lease. In 1916, he bought his present place of eighty acres in Barstow from Al Munger, and at once turned it to horticultural and viticultural purposes. He has twenty acres of apricots set between olive trees, and thirty acres of Elberta and Muir peaches, as well as Lovells; the peaches also being interset with olives. He also has a vineyard of thirty acres of Thompson grapes. His ranch is under an almost perfect system of irrigation; besides being under the Herndon Canal he also has a pumping plant. Mr. Snyder belongs to and actively supports the California Associated Raisin Company, the California Peach Growers, Inc., and the California Olive Growers' Association. On June 17, 1905, Mr. Snyder was married at Fresno to Miss Pauline Steitz, born in Fresno, a daughter of Daniel and Catherine (Seifert) Steitz, one of the first of eight families from his native land to locate in Fresno in 1887. Mr. Steitz became gardener for Einstein & Gundelfinger, also janitor of the Bank of Central California. He died in 1903 [sic, 1902]. A widow and four daughters survive him, of whom Mrs. Snyder is the oldest. She was educated in the Fresno schools. They have one daughter, Elsie. The family belong to the Free Cross Lutheran Church.
