Mennonite Colony Families

Charles Edward (1873-1953) and Minnie Barbara (Snyder) (1872-1963) Hamilton

(These are the basic facts I have for this family, listed here to help guide the research process. As photos, family stories, and other data are submitted, I hope to develop a narrative.)

    James A. Snyder, grandson of Peter B. Snyder, includes Charles Hamilton in his list of "early settlers of the Snyder Colony." (article)

    Minnie Barbara was Peter B. Snyder's sister.
