HENRY SNYDER, LancasterPA-UnionSD

I have more recent updates to my Henry Snyder (1825-1904) research.
I have discovered that his wife Caroline's maiden was SNYDER as well.Henry and Caroline Snyder in Centre, Co., PA in the 1850 Census.I'm 99% sure that Caroline Snyder is the daughter of Johann "George" Snyder and Catherine Bartholomew, orginally from Northampton Co., and then Centre Co., PA.
I have to references to Henry Snyder's birth place as being Lancaster County, PA.One source is his Civil War militar record and the second is his obituary.
I am still searching for who his parents could have been.
I have a hunch that a Levi Snyder (1827 PA - 1902 NE) might be a brother to Henry.
This reference that I found, below, interests me.My Henry Snyder would have been about 10 years old in 1936:
Tax Rolls for Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

Snyder, Henry age 10

Obituary:
("Union County Courier" April 21 1904 )
Henry Snyder, was born August 6, 1825 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1848, he was united in marriage to Caroline Snyder. A Short time afterwards, they both joined the Presbyterian Church. In 1855, the family removed to Stephenson County, Illinois near Freeport. From this place, Mr. Snyder went to the front in the defense of his country and served until mustered out by the close of the war. During his service, he contracted an ailment, which has been troublesome in the intervening years and was the occasion of his death.
The family moved to Dakota in 1868 and Mr. Snyder took up a homestead eight miles north west of Elk Point. Here his wife died in January 1884, she was buried in the cemetery of the neighboring St. Paul's (Norwegians) church where the remains of the husband have been laid at her side. After her death of Mr. Snyder sold out and has been living with his children ever since. He has made three trips to California where four of his daughters live. He has been there during the past winter, but has been poorly. Feeling that the end was approaching and wishing to rest at the side of his wife he returned to Sioux City in February. From that time, he has gradually failed, though he was not confined to his bed until the sixth of April. He passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mussleman, about nine o'clock in the morning of April 16, aged 79 years, 8 months and 11 days.
A son and two daughters besides the wife have preceded him. There survive him a son, Frank, and seven daughters, Mrs. Fred Strobel of Elk Point, Mrs. Jennie Burkett of Boise, Idaho, Mrs Maria Mussleman, of Sioux City, Iowa, Mrs Alice Thompson, Mrs. Susie Johnson, Mrs. Maggie Maiken and Mrs. Nettie Sprague, all residing in or near Los Angeles, California.
Mr. Snyder was a quiet, unpretentious man, whose good qualities are well proven in the older residents. Another old settler has joined the company of those who have so rapidly been leaving during the past few months. Many will miss him.
The remains were brought here Sunday from Sioux City, Iowa funeral services being held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fred Strobel at 1 P.M. Monday Rev. T. J. Woodcock officiating. The burial was in the St. Paul Norwegian cemetery by the side of his wife.
