More about Antlers from Jerry Snyder
The Snyder family leaves Hillsdale, Michigan about 1910.
They headed west and first homestead in Arapahoe, Colorado.
After years of destroyed crops from hail, wind, and dust
storms grandfather Rueben Clyde Snyder said that was enough.
In 1925 my grandfather made a deal in a trade for a grocery
store and Post Office, Antlers, on the west slope. This
photo had written on it 1925 Antlers. My grandmother Grace
Snyder was postmaster and tended the store. My dad, Edgar A.
Snyder would have been 16 yrs old then. My grandfather
farmed sugar beets. The story goes on, to keep it short, I
was born at home, East Avenue, Rifle, Colorado December 25,
1947.
