For a time was engaged as a clerk at the Breithaupt Leather Company of Berlin (Kitchener). He resided during the time and in the location of J.M. Schneider of Schneider's meats fame so he and his later family were often confused with the other J.M. Schneider and his family. Our Joseph changed the spelling of his name to "Snyder" to help avoid this confusion, and his children all carried on with the "Snyder" spelling. In the 1930s, published a detailed family biography and was able to purchase back the original Schneider Haus and immediate lands that had been sold out of the family following his Uncle Samuel's death. He is buried in the First Mennonite Cemetery in Kitchener.
