Read More	Joseph Snodgrass was born in Jefferson county, Indiana, March 10, 1822. He went with his brother when but a boy to Decatur county, Indiana, and there learned the tanner's trade, which he followed for ten years. At the age of 22 he started a tannery business in Bartholomew county, Indiana, where he remained three years. It was while living in this county, in 1844, that he was married to Jane A. Hammond. After their marriage they moved to Greensburg, Ind., where they lived until 1850, when they moved to Savannah, Mo. Two years later they moved to Taylor county, Iowa, and after two years' residence there, they settled on the old farm in Page county, Iowa. After living on the farm for 38 years, they moved to Hopkins, Mo., where they lived until seven years ago, when they moved to Shambaugh, Iowa, and at that place, Jan. 5, 1911, occurred the death of Mrs. Snodgrass, thus ending 67 years of happy wedded life. After the loss of his faithful wife, the deceased made his home with his children until early in the morning of the 2d of Sept., 1914, as it would seem by providential foresight, he was privileged to lay down the burdens of this life on the old farm where he and his good wife began the pioneer life of the. west more than 60 years ago. Joseph Snodgrass was the father of seven children, five of whom are living: Caroline Laswell, Elijah, Alonzo, Monterville and Birch. When but a boy of sixteen or seventeen years, in Greensburg, Ind., he united with the Christian church and was baptized by Elder John B. New, one of the pioneer preachers of the restoration movement. For more than 75 years he lived the life of a consistent Christian. He was strong in the faith of the religious body with which he identified and well [---] as to its doctrines. Uncle Joe, as he was familiarly known, was a good man. As a husband, he was faithful and true; as a father, patient and loving, and he was a never-failing friend to all. He was kind, unassuming and helpful. And during his last few months of extreme feebleness, he was always patient and thoughtful as to the welfare of those who cared for him. And so, at the ripe old age of 92 years, 5 months and 22 days, hs laid aside the armor, and leaving behind him a trail of love and light and usefulness to bless other lives and homes, he responded to the beckoning call of Heaven's eternal home, where without sins and sorrows, grief or graves, he shall be with all the redeemed forever. "Servant of God, well done. Thy glorious welfare's past. The battle's fought, the race is won, And thou art crowned at last." The funeral services were conducted by an old acquaintance, Elder E. E. Stickelman, of Braddyville last Friday, and interment was in the Shearer cemetery. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 10, 1914 Obituary contributed by Pat O'Dell -------------------------
