“In 1833 he (John Snider) joined, with the late President John Taylor, and association of students of the scriptures who were seeking for a profounder knowledge of the truth. It was to this association that Elder Parley P. Pratt was directed in 1836 and to whom he so frequently preached the gospel that quite a number of them united with the church, John Snyder among them. Soon after John Snyder was ordained to the priesthood and joined the British mission.” (Church News - Dec. 14, 1986)
