Rev De Witt Snyder in the Congo - Dates: SEPT 18, 1892; thru March 1902

Background: In 2004 I found several articles from NY Newspapers about DeWitt Snyder and his time at the Congo Mission (1892-1902), at Luebo. Having read "Grandma's Story", it got me more interested in finding more about the 10 years at Luebo Africa. Online, I met other researchers (past/present) also involved with the Luebo mission which helped in gathering addition information. I was put on to the Presbyterian Church Mission(s) Archives in North Carolina. I hired a reference analyst to dig through the Archives and find information on DW Snyder and the Congo Mission. She was able to provide me with photo copies of actual hand written letters, copies of the publication "The Missionary" articles written by Snyder and scans of actual mission photos from the time DW Snyder was there. The only thing left to do are the hand-written letters (or provide scans of the letters, since some hard to decipher). - Mark L. Petersen
