JONATHAN SNYDER.  Another contemporary of the originals of Catasauqua was Jonathan Snyder, who came from Schoenersville, Pa.  Mr. Snyder was a bright man and an exceptionally fine penman.  He was given charge of the locks opposite the Crane Iron Works in 1839, and commissioned to collect all tolls for this section of the canal.  When the town became a Borough, he was elected and served as assessor for many years.  His only survivors are his grand-children, the members of the Williams family at Second and Bridge Streets.
