Pioneer Painters of Indiana, Peat, 1954, p. 64: It is reported that William McKendree Snyder went to paint in Brown Co. as early as 1870 from Columbus, Ind., where he was in the photographic business with his brother, R. W. Snyder. He was in Columbus until 1872 when he went East. [p. 80 states that William McKendree Snyder removed from Madison to Columbus in 1870 to open a sign shop with his brother???]
