Elizabeth "Lizzie" Snider........ Lizzie was born on October 1, 1852,
in Bossier Parish, LA, at Filmore. At age ten she entered a private
school at Minden, LA. This was a Methodist Episcopal Church school about
fourteen miles from her home is Filmore. She spent two years there during
the Civil War. In 1866, she entered Greenwood Seminary at Lebanon, TN,
where she remained for two years, graduating October 13th, 1868. It was
in Louisiana that Lizzie became a member of the Presbyterian Church.
Her father, Dr. Thornton Snider had left for California the
preceding year. In1869, her mother sold the home and prepared the family
for the long trip west to join Dr. Snider in Sacramento, CA. In May they
started for California by boat on the Red River to New Orleans, and from
thence by boat to St. Louis, and again by boat to Omaha. They then
proceeded by train to Sacramento, using the recently completed Union
Pacific railroad. This was a trip of about one week.
After settling in Sacramento her family switched membership to the
Southern Methodist Church. Lizzie taught a Sunday School class and at
this church she met Joseph H. Glide. On December 7, 1871 she and Joseph
were married.
Through the rest of her life, Lizzie was very active in the
Methodist Church and was one of its largest contributors. She
contributed to the establishment of many missions, locally and in foreign
lands. It was said that she followed a Wesleyan doctrine of
sanctification.
When her husband, Joseph died in 1906, Lizzie was 52 yeaqrs old.
She then assumed the responsibilities of managing his vast business
holdings. She was known as one of the best business minds in the State
of California. Many years after the death of her husband, oil was
discovered on the large Kern County land holdings. Lizzie sold and
managed the oil leases on this property. It was because of the success
of her management that made it possible for her to channel sizable sums
of money toward her philanthropic projects.
Some of her projects were the erection of: the "Mary Elizabeth Inn"
(1914) in San Francisco- a home for for working girls, the "Epworthj
Hall" (1927) at the University of California, Berkeley- a dormitory for
Christian girls, the "Glide Hall" on the Asbury College at Wilmore,
Kentucky- a womens dormitory, the gift of a radio station to Dr. R. P.
"Bob" Shuler- the religious station, KGEF, in 1929-31, and a new church,
free of debt, at Taylor and Ellis in San Francisco- to be known as the
Glide Memorial Methodist Church. This church was dedicated to her
husband, Joseph H. Glide. In addition to these institutions she assisted
financially in the erection of Wesley Church in San Francisco, Epworth
University Church in Berkeley and Central Church in Sacramento.
The Glide Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, was established by
Mrs. Glide in about 1930, under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. The immediate and specific purpose then was for the
erection and promotion of the work of Glide Memorial Church. There was a
year-round Evangelistic program maintained at the Glide Church.
In 1935, the Glide Foundation purchased the "California Hotel" at
Taylor and O'Farrell in San Francisco. This 17 story, 300 room hotel was
just one block from the Glide Memorial Church and was operated as a
"temperance" hotel. Also the Glide Foundation operated the "Glide
Apartment Hotel" which was connected to the Church. It was a six story
building with 68 apartments and with a banquet hall and a kitchen.
Mrs. Lizzie H. Glide was in attendance at the fifth anniversary of
the dedication of the Glide Memorial Methodist Church held there on
January 12, 1936. In attendance were the Governor Frank F. Merriam and
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, William H. Waste. The Pastor was
Rev. Julian C. McPheeters.
In 1936, Lizzie was almost 84 years old. Her exact date of date of death
has not been established.
See below the transformation of the Glide Memorial Church in 1960's,
as the Foundation and the Church liberalized their policies and engaged a
black Pastor, Rev. Cecil Williams. One must remember that Lizzie's home
environment in her early childhood was one of plantation life with negro
slaves.

Notes by Glenn G. Snider: The majority of the above biography of
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Helen Snider Glide came from a small book- "The Life
Story of Lizzie H. Glide" written and published by Rev. Julian C.
McPheeters, D.D. in 1936. The book takes a very religious approach to
her life and has a "sermon-like" tone running through it. The writer,
Rev. McPheeters, undoubtedly was close to Lizzie in a religious way and
was one of her many beneficiaries. There is a very glaring error in
this biography and that is the spelling of Lizzie's maiden name. He has
referred to it and that of her ancestors as "Snyder". In all of the
genealogy that has ever been researched, the name has always been
"Snider". Even her father, Dr. Thornton Andrew Snider, by his own
writings has spelled it "Snider". One wonders just how close Rev.
McPheeters really was to Lizzie's parentage.
In the 1960's the Glide Foundation radically changed course by
engaging a black pastor for the Glide Memorial Church, a Rev. Cecil
Williams. He and his policies have held rein over the Church for over 30
years. The following is from the Church's web site; /www.glide.org/ .

THE GLIDE FOUNDATION
The Glide Foundation, one of the City's largest and most comprehensive
nonprofit human service providers, offers innovative and nontraditional
programs that address gender and culturally sensitive needs to a diverse
population. Glide serves over one million free meals a year and provides
programs that test people for AIDS, offers health care, women's programs,
crisis intervention, basic services, literacy and computer training, jobs
training and placement, and children, youth, and family educational
programs. Chemical addiction recovery programs and health services are
offered in partnership with the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic. The Glide
Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation operating under the
auspices of Glide Memorial United Methodist Church. OVERVIEW: Glide
Memorial Church - 1998
GLIDE MEMORIAL CHJURCH
Glide Church rises on a corner of Ellis and Taylor streets in the
Tenderloin--in the midst of one of San Francisco's harshest urban
environments--teeming with violence, homelessness, prostitution, crime,
mental illness, hunger, alcoholics, addicts and drug pushers. Glide is an
oasis where children grow and even thrive, families reunify, addicts
struggle to recover, women break the cycle of powerlessness and gain
their self esteem, and men reach out to embrace, rather than to
brutalize.
For over 30 years, Glide has served the poor and disenfranchised of the
entire San Francisco Bay Area. Under the leadership and guidance of the
Reverend Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani, president of the Glide
Foundation, Glide has grown to be one of the City's largest and most
comprehensive nonprofit human service providers, offering innovative and
nontraditional programs that address gender and culturally sensitive
needs to a diverse population.
