Hester was born 3 April 1863 in Springville, Utah, UT. and was the daughter of Bernard Snow and Annie Liversedge. Hester died 15 February 1930 in Ainsworth, Brown, NE, at 66 years of age. She was listed as the head of a family on the 1920 Census in Ainsworth, Brown, NE. with Ellis Snow Barton (son). When Reuben was about one and a half years old the family moved to Hancock County, Illinois, a Mormon community. His mother died before he was three and his father married again. His father had joined the Mormons back in Ohio and his stepmother's family was prominent in the Mormon Church making them targets for the non-Mormon community following Joseph Smith's murder. They moved for a time to Henderson County, Illinois near his aunt, Lois Marston. After the troubles seemed to have quieted down they returned to their home in Hancock County only to have the house burned by agitators. When he was nine, the family moved to Pottawattamie County, Iowa where they lived on a farm near Crescent City. Reuben enlisted in Company A, 29th Regiment of Iowa Infantry when he was 19, serving with this unit in the Union forces throughout the Civil War. He participated in many battle actions returning unscathed but somewhat poor in health. A short time after the war he was chopping wood and a splinter pierced his right eye causing complete loss of sight in that eye. He worked for the Union Pacific Railroad throughout the construction of the first transcontinental railway complete at Ogden, Utah in 1869. After that he remained in the West for several years engaging in prospecting, mining, timbering and even drove a stagecoach. Following his marriage to Hester they lived for a short time in Pottawattamie County before moving to the dryer climate in western Nebraska near Meadville where they homesteaded.
