Matt Knoop, a 2006 graduate of Park City High School, is remembered by the Park City community for his incredible spirit and desire to help others. His own significant accomplishments in the sport of soccer exemplified leadership by example and passion for the game. Despite his untimely passing at age 20 while serving on an LDS Church mission in Brazil, Matt’s lasting impact continues to influence our community for the better.
This Memorial Park is dedicated to Matt, for the enjoyment of others, as a permanent reminder of what will always remain good, wholesome and positive.

Here is the April 2008 Article from when he passed away. Community mourns for LDS missionary killed in Brazil.

Snyderville Pioneer Cemetery

IN the spring of 1849, Samuel Snyder became associated with Parley P. Pratt, who had the squatter’s right to the green mountain plateau which the pioneers named “Parley’s Park.” In 1850, Samuel Snyder bought out Parley P. Pratt’s claim for a yoke of oxen. Samuel Snyder and his oldest son, Ephraim Stockwell Snyder, became the first pioneers to build homes there and settle the basin. The land was fertile for farming, the grass plentiful for stock grazing, and the mountainsides were heavily forested. They built a reservoir, a sawmill, and a gristmill on Spring Creek. Snyder’s Mill produced much of the lumber used to build the first homes, mines, and businesses in the new territory as well as the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. Ephraim, who became a freighter, constructed the first road over Parley’s Summit and later hauled the machinery used in the Park City mines. Inevitably, the settlement became known as Snyderville.

The settlers chose this prominent knoll on Chester Snyder’s homestead for their cemetery. Chester was a brother to Samuel. The first child buried in the little cemetery was six-month-old Robert W. Snyder, son of Ephraim and Susannah Fullmer Snyder. Chester and his wife Electa, and twenty-seven of Samuel and Chester’s descendants are buried in this cemetery which overlooks the Snyderville basin.

Snyderville is four miles northwest of Park City. It was settled in 1865 by J. M. Grant, H. C. Kimball, and Samuel C. Snyder, who developed mine holdings and a sawmill in the area. After the Overland Stage went through this area, it became known as Snyders Station and later Snyderville, for G. G. Snyder, the younger brother of Sam. G. G. was a probate judge who named Park City.

In the spring of 1849, Samuel Comstock Snyder and Parley P. Pratt cut a road up “Big Canyon” and found what became known as “Parley’s Park.” The road became a toll road for Wells Fargo, the Overland Stage, and other travelers. In 1850 Parley P. Pratt sold his claim to the valley to Snyder for a yoke of oxen. Samuel Snyder and his family became the first of many to build homes in the basin. Millers by trade, Snyders built a gristmill, a sawmill, and a reservoir on Spring Creek. They supplied lumber for homes and for the developing mining industry. Upon a prominent knoll a cemetery was established, in which 27 Snyder Descendants have since been buried. Many markers were made of sandstone, cut and carved by a loving hand, and tell the story of a typical family who lost many children to disease and the rigors of pioneer life. The Snyderville Cemetery was dedicated in 2001.
