Mr. Snodgrass was born at Kellerton, Iowa, April 30, 1863, during the Civil War. They landed in Fremont county Dec. 2, 1869. He shared the pioneer experiences so typical of that early day. He was a boy of eight when the flood waters of 1881 covered the Missouri river valley from bluff to bluff. He was ten years old when the destructive hail storm of 1883 passed over this region. He was fourteen when the raging blizzard of Jan. 12, 1888 swept in from the north. With the passing of Mr. Snodgrass another of the early pioneer homes has gone. He was personally acquainted with the first settlers of that community. The history of the Knox neighborhood socially, politically and religiously was very familiar to him. He was married to Miss Jane Bobbitt, June 3. 1891. Four children were born to them, a son, Orren, at home, and three daughters: Fern, now Mrs. C. D. Jenkins, living on the home farm; Fay, now Mrs. Mae McCain from Tacoma, Washington; and Florence, now Mrs. Robert Hume of Thurman. Five grandchildren share their sorrow. Mr. Snodgrass also leaves one brother. B.W. Snodgrass of Atlanta, Nebr., and two sisters, Mrs. Frank Bobbitt of Eagle Lake, Minn., and Mrs. Wm. Sliger of Vermillion,S. D. Mr. Snodgrass for a number of years was the director of the school in his neighborhood, the Spring Valley school. He was a man of deep moral convictions. He was respected by his neighbors because of his integrity. He honored his promises, he kept his word. He was a helpful neighbor. He always found time to minister to those who were sick or to share of his physical strength when they were in need. For a number of years he has been confined in the home because of illness. He was a very interesting man to visit with because of his knowledge of the early settlers and of their trying experiences. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the Crawford Funeral Home at Sidney conducted by the Rev. Peter Jacobs, pastor of the Congregational church at Tabor.
