^1914 -- Genealogical & Personal History of Beaver Co., Pennsylvania (Jordan--1914) vol. 2, page 881: Dr. Bruce Snodgrass, of Beaver Falls, is the fourth generation of the old Scotch-Irish family in this country, whither the emigrant, William Snodgrass, came from county Donegal, Ireland, locating in Crawford county, Pennsylvania, where he followed the occupation of farmer. Here he married and here his son, James M., grandfather of Dr. Bruce Snodgrass was born. (II) James M. Snodgrass was likewise an agriculturalist and spent his entire life in the place of his birth. He married Mary A. Gamble, of Crawford county, Pennsylvania. Children of James M. and Mary A. (Gamble) Snodgrass: Robert A.; William J., of further mention; Elizabeth, married John McFeeters; Hugh H.; David; Emeline, married Robert Royer. (III) Rev. William J. Snodgrass, eldest son of James M. and Mary A. (Gamble) Snodgrass, was born in Crawford county, Pennsylvania. He was educated for the ministry at Westminster, Monmouth, and Allegheny Theological seminaries, and was duly ordained as a minister of the United Presbyterian Church. He occupied the pastorate of the West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, Church, for more than forty years, which immediately shows the place he held in the affection of his parishioners. He entered into his final rest, of which he was so amply assured, in 1911. He married Martha, daughter of Albert B. Herrick. Albert B. Herrick came to Pennsylvania from Connecticut, following the occupation of a farmer. He married Mary Ford, of Western Reserve, Ohio. Children of Albert and Mary (Ford) Herrick: Ette, married R. S. Artmon; Flora, married Madison Ferguson; Joseph; William; Albert. All of his sons were engaged in the Civil War as soldiers of the Union Army. Children of Rev. William J. and Martha (Herrick) Snodgrass: Boyd B.; Bruce, of whom further; Mary, married Rolla Herrick; Hugh G.; J. Parr; Ruth, married Rev. Robert Yourd, a minister of the United Presbyterian Church, of Erie, Pennsylvania. (IV) Dr. Bruce Snodgrass, son of Rev. William J. and Martha (Herrick) Snodgrass, was born in West Middlesex, Mercer county, Pennsylvania, July 16, 1873. He was educated for the profession he now follows, attending the public schools of West Middlesex, Westminster College, at New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, Starling Medical College, of Columbus, Ohio, and finally the medical department of the University of St. Louis, whence he was graduated M.D. in 1896. His first six years of active practice were spent in Ohio, his first appearance in Beaver county being in 1904. His office is situated in Beaver Falls and during the nine years of his residence he has both built up a large practice and established himself firmly as one of the leading physicians of the county. He is modern and progressive in methods and yet possesses that touch of conservativeness that distinguishes the progressive from the fanatic. In all that pertains to his profession he is intensely interested and is prominently connected with the County, State and American Medical societies. He holds membership and is an elder of the United Presbyterian Church. Dr. Snodgrass married, in 1897, Eva May, daughter of George and Anna Fogle, of Sharon, Pennsylvania. Children: Catherine, Bruce De Witte, Stewart R.

^1899 -- Our Country and Its People: A Historical and Memorial Record of Crawford Co., Pennsylvania (Bates--1899) pages 878-880: Matthew R. Snodgrass.-- Sixty-five years ago Matthew R. Snodgrass was born on the old homestead in West Shenango township, Crawford county, where he is still living. This property has been in the possession of his family for almost a century, and thus it may be seen that they were numbered among the early pioneers of this locality. Our subject's paternal grandfather, Benjamin Snodgrass, and his son John, the father of our subject, came to this vicinity in 1800 and took up land which, after they had assisted in clearing and improving it, rightfully enough fell to the three sons of John Snodgrass,--Benjamin, Matthew R. and J. W. Matthew R., who is the subject of this biographical notice, has greatly improved his homestead since it came into his possession and has made of his eighty-three acres a most desirable country place, furnished with substantial buildings, neat fences and well-kept orchard and shade trees. He purchased the interest of his brother, J. W. Snodgrass, who now lives on the farm just east of that owned by our subject, who is a thorough, practical farmer, making a success of most of his undertakings, and enjoying an excellent reputation for business, honor and fairness in all his transactions. The son of John and Mary (Rankin) Snodgrass, Matthew R. Snodgrass was born December 11, 1833. His boyhood was spent on the farm where he has always resided, and such education as fell to his share was that gained in the district schools of the vicinity. By judicious study and reading he has added to the knowledge thus acquired and is now well posted on the great events of the past and contemporaneous history. In the school of practical experience he has also necessarily had his mental horizon broadened and his sympathies with his fellow men deepened and strengthened. In religion and politics he strives to keep his mind free from strong bias, that he may be able to judge fairly the merits of every question coming beneath his notice. December 29, 1860, Mr. Snodgrass married Miss Orpha Gregory, daughter of William and Lottie (Lafferty) Gregory. The father was a well known farmer of this county and for years successfully conducted a tannery business at Turnersville. The mother, a lady of rare culture and ability, was for some time engaged in teaching school and was a popular and successful educator. Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass are the parents of one son, Lloyd, born October 24, 1885. When the war of the Rebellion was being waged M. R. Snodgrass offered his service and fought under and for the flag of his country more than three years. Enlisting September 5, 1861, he was faithfully at his post of duty during the weary years up to the time of his honorable discharge, November 4, 1864. He took part in numerous skirmishes and minor encounters with the enemy and, among others, was actively engaged in the battles of Antietam, Cedar Mountain, Resaca, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was a private in Company G, One Hundred and Eleventh Regiment of Pennsylvania Infantry, which was a part of the Third Brigade, Second Division, Twelfth and Twentieth Army Corps, under command of Generals Hooker and Slocum. Much of the time Mr. Snodgrass was detailed to duty with the wagon train, but wherever his place was assigned there he was always to be found, prompt, obedient, faithful and cheerful. At the battle of Antietam he was struck in the left arm by a fragment of shell, but he did not leave the ranks and only fought the harder. The principles for which he was then ready to sacrifice his life he has always abided by, and has endeavored to do his whole duty as a citizen of this great republic. At present he is in favor of free silver. For the long period of forty years he has been a member of the United Presbyterian church of Shenango, and has freely contributed of his means to worthy religious and benevolent enterprises.

Snodgrass, has filed suit asking $5,000 damages from Mrs. E. Pauline Snodgrass, the second bride of the physician. The first Mrs. Snodgrass charges that the second Mrs. Snodgrass deliberately robbed her of her husband. She alleges she has forty letters written by the new Mrs. Snodgrass when she was Miss Pauline Van Horne, a nurse at Memorial hospital, New York, during 1906. The first Mrs. Snodgrass declares these letters were instrumental in having her husband treat her so that she had to get a divorce. She says she has only discovered these love letters, which her husband failed to destroy. The present Mrs. Snodgrass, who married the doctor less than seven weeks ago, refuses to make any statement.

^1915 -- Genalogical & Personal History of Western Pennsylvania (Jordan--1915) pages 1356-7: Snodgrass. Robert [should be William] Snodgrass was born in Ireland and in early manhood emigrated to the United States, locating near Jamestown, Pennsylvania. At that time the section between Jamestown and Meadville was entirely unsettled, and the pioneers of this region were called upon to endure innumerable hardships and dangers. Mr. Snodgrass purchased a farm, and this he cleared and cultivated until his death. He married Margaret McMaster, also a native of Ireland and they became the parents of children, all born in South Shenango twp., Crawford county, Pennsylvania: Robert, William, James M., of further mention; Jane. (II) James M. Snodgrass, son of Robert and Margaret (McMaster) Snodgrass, was born in South Shenango township, Crawford county, Pennsylvania, in 1815, and died there in 1888. He was educated in the common schools and like his father was a farmer all the active years of his life. He gave his political support to the Republican party from the time of its organization until his death, and was a strong Abolitionist, taking an active part in the conduct of the "underground railway," which was of such material assistance to the negroes in attaining freedom. He married Mary Ann Gamble, born in county Down, Ireland, in 1818, a daughter of the Rev. John and Elizabeth (Parr) Gamble, the latter of Philadelphia. Rev. John Gamble was born in county Down, Ireland, received his education there and was a prominent teacher. He was still young when he emigrated to America, taught in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and then entered the ministry. He finally settled at Jamestown where his death occurred. He had children: Dr. William J., of Mosiertown; Dr. David, of Jamestown; John of Shenango township; Martha; Caroline; Mary Ann, mentioned above. Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass had children: 1. Robert A., was a physician of Hartstown and Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, and died in 1890. 2. Rev. William J., D.D., was a pastor in West Middlesex, Pennsylvania, for a period of forty years; died there at Christmas, 1912. 3. Henry, lived and died on the homestead farm. 4.

Mathew R.

That he contracted rheumatism... in the line of duty in the fall of 1862, by fording the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry and other exposures that same fall... It happened they were crossing the Potomac soon after the Battle of Antietam in which battle he was slightly wounded, and the water was very cold and the River somewhat swollen and he with the others of his company waded over, and went into camp at Boliver Heights, a very exposed position. That after his service in the fall of 1862, he has had Rheumatism seated in his system. That he is unable to furnish the affidavit of an army surgeon as to treatment for Rheumatism, because he was prejudiced against the use of quinine at that time, and it was only an attack of Rheumatism at time. But he has been disabled from manual labor ever since his discharge by reason of piles and rheumatism, and whatever medicine he has taken... he has bought and paid for it at the time of purchase, and the doctors have no charges on their books, therefore they cannot swear to treatment. ------Questionnaire, 9 Jul 1898: Wife's name Orpha Snodgrass, maiden name Orpha Gregory; m. 29 Dec 1880 by Rev.

Mr. Snodgrass’s wife died a few years ago. Deceased was a quiet, good citizen, and about 45 years of age.
27 Mar 1884 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Thursday, 27 Mar 1884: Jamestown. Mr. Editor: We were requested to send you a few lines to publish in your valuable paper, to record a singular and sudden death, that of Mr. Wm. Snodgrass, late of Sugar Grove township, Mercer Co., Pa., which sand and unexpected event left a family of six orphans. He had been for ten years a worthy member of the United Presbyterian Congregation of Sugar Grove, and for several years a deacon in that Congregation, attending to its pecuniary matters and the want of the poor. His character was above reproach. He was a Christian (so far as man is capable of judging,) not merely by early education, (for he was trained from infancy,) but by intelligent conviction. He carried out his principles to their just conclusions. He was consistently on the right side on all questions, in religion and morals, in the Church and in community; and in his daily walk and conversation, was true to his profession, and to the honor of his Master. And we may truly exclaim “Help Lord for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fall from among the children of men.” J.B.
10 Apr 1884 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Thursday, 10 Apr 1884: Kennard – Mr. Tom Snodgrass will move on the farm of the late Wm. Snodgrass.
3 Jul 1884 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Thursday, 3 Jul 1884: On Saturday last a large number of relatives and friends assembled at the home of Alexander Snodgrass, some two miles north of Greenville, for the purpose of celebrating the 56th birthday of Mr. Snodgrass as well as the 25th anniversary of his marriage with his present wife, whose maiden name was Jane Ferguson, a daughter of the late John Ferguson, Esq., of West Salem. Having received a quiet notice of the coming surprise, we concluded to attend. We were impelled to do so for the reason that Mr. S. was one of our earliest schoolmates, while his good wife was also a friend of our family when we were both much younger than now. ... Well, we went, and we were not disappointed. We found a company of over one hundred and fifty, not counting small children, when all had put in their appearance. Mr. Snodgrass was greatly surprised at the number of his visitors, for he had been kept in the dark with respect to the matter. His wife has been crippled for six months past from the effects of an unfortunate fall, and while she may have known what was coming, she could not, of course, provide dinner for so large a company. The sequel proved that it was not necessary for her to trouble herself on this point, for the good ladies in attendance came not empty handed. Suffice it to say that when the long table on the door yard under the green trees was spread, the fact was revealed there was a repast of great profusion, variety, and excellence. After all had partaken without stint, it would have required twelve pretty large baskets to hold the fragments. After dinner was over, the crowd gathered in and around the house. Rev. James Burrows made a brief address, and in behalf of the donors presented to Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass quite a number of valuable presents, and among them a very neat and substantial lounge. ... Aside from Father Brown, who is verging on 90, none of the old men who were early residents of the “Forks” are left. Father Listen, Mr. Snodgrass’s grandfather, who so long owned and resided upon the farm now owned by Mr. Say, died about 1842. His son Thomas, who succeeded him as owner of the farm, died some twenty years ago. John Ferguson, Esq., father of Mrs. Snodgrass, who came to this country in 1797, died in 1857, in his 71st year. ... And it is remarkable that but very few of the second generation of the early settlers remain. Rev. Burrows, at the close of the speeches, led the assembly in prayer, and after many hand shakings and congratulations, the people began to disperse, feeling that a very pleasant afternoon had been enjoyed by all present.
29 Oct 1885 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Thursday, 29 Oct 1885: Mrs. Wm. John Snodgrass was thrown from a wagon on Friday last and the result was an arm broken in two places, and some painful bruises and cuts about the head and neck. Dr. Moreland was called, who set the broken limb and dressed the wounds. It was at first feared that the shock might result seriously, but at last accounts she is doing as well as could be expected.—Sentinael.

14 Oct 1897 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Thursday, 14 Oct 1897: On Friday afternoon last, a man called upon Judge Miller, saying he wished the judge to transact some business for him. Upon inquiry the judge discovered that the stranger was Benjamin Snodgrass, a man long since missing from his home in Crawford county, just over the line from Mercer county. Mr. Snodgrass disappeared from his home five or six years ago, and nothing had ever been heard or seen of him since that time. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were shrouded in mystery at the time; no reason could be discerned for his leaving, and he did not, at that time, appear to be in an unsound state of mind. Mr. Snodgrass left Mercer after talking with Judge Miller, taking the Scrubgrass road, but was overtaken at a short distance from town and was taken to the alms house, where he will be detained, and will be taken in a few days to Crawford county, when an application will be made before Judge Henderson for his removal to an asylum. Mr. Snodgrass’s mind is unbalanced, and it is thought that he has been wandering about the country during all these years he has been absent. His farm in Crawford county has been occupied and managed by his sister during his absence, and no disposition has been made of his estate up to this time. [We are informed, on good authority, that Snodgrass has been working for an Eastern Pennsylvania farmer. The latter’s failure to pay him seemed to bring Snodgrass to his senses, and he immediately started for Mercer county.—Ed.]

Two weeks ago the authorities were notified that Snodgrass was in the almshouse at Guthrie Center, Ia. Commissioner Smith went to Iowa and brought the old man home. Snodgrass left home because he thought that his relatives disliked him.

22 May 1901 – New Castle News (New Castle, Lawrence Co., Pennsylvania), 22 May 1901: West Middlesex -- Monday: Par J. Snodgrass, youngest son of Rev. W. J. Snodgrass, lies at his home in a very critical condition as the result of an accident yesterday afternoon. Snodgrass in attempting to stop a runaway horse was thrown with his head against a gas plug in front of A. E. Lewis' drug store. He was carried into the drug store in an unconscious condition. Drs. J. W. Killer and J. B. Livingston were summoned and sewed up a cut about 5 Inches long in the left side of his head. He was then taken to his home suffering from concussion of the brain. The accident happened as follows: Carl Hamilton and Par J. Snodgrass drove downtown and were halted at the Main street crossing of the New Castle branch of the Erie railroad by the switching engine, which was placing some cars on one of the high trestles. Snodgrass, thinking the engine was going to the furnace, drove up to cross the tracks, but the machine stopped within ten feet of the frightened horse and started back. Both Hamilton and Snodgrass jumped out of the buggy and tried to catch the animal. Hamilton was knocked down by the buggy wheel, but was not badly injured. Snodgrass succeeded in catching the runaway by the bits as it whirled, but was dragged up street along the sidewalk in front of Byers' store. Just in front of Lewis' drug store he was thrown down with his head against the gas plug. The animal made for the street again and the buggy catching between the hitching posts was wrecked. The horse ran home. One of the physicians stated last evening that the young man was suffering from concussion of the brain, but thought that he would pull through all right. Snodgrass's parents, who were visiting their son, Dr. Boyd Snodgrass, in Jamestown, were summoned last evening.

17 Oct 1905 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Tuesday, 17 Oct 1905: Robert [Q.] Snodgrass, well known here and at his home in Jamestown, met with a peculiar death, sometime between Saturday night and Monday forenoon, when his dead body was found in the hay chute of Jesse R. Gamble’s barn near Jamestown. Mr. Snodgrass was a good citizen except in one particular, being addicted to an intemperate use of strong drink. He often visited Greenville and always left in a pitiable condition. Saturday evening he boarded the 8:18 Pennsylvania train for Jamestown, but on his arrival he did not go to his home but, as he occasionally did, made for a barn in which to sleep off the effects of his dissipation. He evidently selected Gamble’s barn and with a tragic result. Mr. Gamble noticed on Monday that his hay chute was not working properly an determined to clean it out. He started to fork out the hay at the top and was astonished to find, a few feet down, a pair of boots, soles up. Taking hold of them, he found that there was a man in the chute, and it proved to be Snodgrass. He doubtless fell into the chute head first and could not extricate himself or call for help. The more he struggled, the more helpless he became and must have died a slow and inexpressibly painful death. Mr. Snodgrass was 69 years old. He was a member of the Eighty-third Pennsylvania volunteers. He was shot through the body and left for dead on the field at the Battle of the Wilderness. Many of the older residents of this community attended a funeral service held in his memory shortly after that famous battle. Snodgrass recovered, however, in a Southern hospital. For years he had drawn a pension for total disability.

1909 -- A 20th Century History of Mercer Co., Pennsylvania (White--1909) pages 630-631: John R. Ross, a retired agriculturist, who has tilled the soil of one farm for sixty years, and who retired from his three-score years of farm labor in 1900, is a native of Pymatuning twp., born near Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, 24 Jan 1839, a son of John and Elizabeth (Barr) Ross, both natives of Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. The father was born in 1798 and died in 1852, while the mother was born in 1800, survived until 1877. They were united in marriage in Westmoreland Co. and had three children: Eliza, John R., of this memoir, and Sarah C., wife of John W. Snodgrass, residing near Jamestown, [Mercer Co.] Pennsylvania. The grandfather of John R. Ross was John Randall Ross, a native of the North of Ireland, but of Scotch and Irish parentage. When a young man, he emigrated from Ireland to this country, married here and reared a family of five sons and two daughters, the father of John R. being the second child in order of their birth. He could have easily purchased a farm on land upon which the city of Pittsburgh now stands, but he desired to raise grain on higher lands, so he settled near West Newton, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He ranked among the pioneers of that section of Pennsylvania. Under his farm was discovered a 12-foot vein of coal. John Ross, the father, reached manhood on the old homestead. Soon after his marriage he wended his way to Mercer county, and located near Orangeville, in Pymatuning twp., where he lived a number of years, then purchased a farm near Sharpsville, known today as "Shadyside Farm," where he spent his last years, dying at the age of fifty-five years. He never cared to hold public office, but was an ardent defender of the principles of the democratic party, while in church faith he was of the old Seceders' church of the Presbyterian creed. His son, John R. Ross, spent his youthful days working on the old homestead during the summer months and attending school winters, having to walk more than two miles to the school house, which was anything but a sample of our modern-day school buildings. He has remained on one farm more than three score years, doing general farming. Politically, he is a supporter of the Republican party, and in church connection is of the United Presbyterian denomination. During the dark days of the great Civil war, Mr. Ross enlisted in Co. D, 211 Pennsylvania Regt. Vols., the date of enlistment being 2 Sep 1864. He served one year and was honorably discharged 2 Jun 1865, at Alexandria, VA. He participated in all the skirmishes and battles which his regiment was engaged in, including Fort Steadman, and was in front of Petersburg during the great siege of that place. Mr. Ross was married 16 Jul 1872 to Eleanor B. Snodgrass, born in Crawford Co., Pennsylvania, 17 Jun 1837, and who died 14 Sep 1896 at the age of 59 years. She was the daughter of John Snodgrass and wife. The father was born in the North of Ireland of Scotch and Irish parentage, and came to American when a young man, becoming one of the hardy pioneers of Crawford Co., Pennsylvania. He was among the early settlers who were compelled to cut away the dense forests, in order to clear up land for cultivation. At that date all was an untamed wilderness, infested with Indian bands and wild beasts, far from companionable to the human hand. Here he reared a large family, having three boys and eight girls around his fireside. He was a Seceder in church faith, and politically he supported the old line Whig party. To Mr. and Mrs. Ross was born one son and one daughter: Preston C., an electrician, and Lida Belle, a teacher in the Sharpsville public schools.
1909 -- A 20th Century History of Mercer Co., Pennsylvania (White--1909) pages 749-750: Samuel C. Wilt is the proprietor of the widely known "Glendale Farm," situated in Sugar Grove twp., this county, near the line of the old Erie canal. He is not only widely known as a farmer but his reputation has extended over much of western Pennsylvania from the fact that for 21 years he operated a portable saw mill. It was the first mill of its kind in this section of the state and during the period mentioned Mr. Wilt succeeded in cutting over two million feet of lumber. In these days it is almost impossible to estimate the extent of his usefulness to the pioneers of Pennsylvania in the conduct of the enterprise mentioned. Mr. Wilt is a native of Venango Co., Pennsylvania, born 17 Oct 1836, son of George and Mary (Wiker) Wilt. The father is a native of Center Co., Pennsylvania, born 12 Oct 1800, and in 1833 came to Venango county and continued to engage in farming until his death, which occurred at the home of his son, Samuel C., of this sketch. His wife, who is also deceased, was born in 1799, daughter of John Wiker, who was long engaged in farming near Franklin, Pennsylvania. There were five children born to Mr. and Mrs. George Wilt, of whom Samuel C. is the only one now living, his deceased brother and sisters being: Jacob, Mary, Joannah, and Susanna. Samuel C. Wilt received his education in the district schools of Venango Co., for which privileges his parents paid one dollar per term, according to the rates then prevailing in the old time subscription establishments. After leaving school he gave his entire time to the assistance of his parents on the farm and remained with them until he was thirty-three years of age, when he came to Sugar Grove twp. and located on the tract of land which he now occupies. It was then partially cleared and he has since not only prepared the land for cultivation but made the improvements which have fashioned it into a desirable piece of country property. In 1883 Mr. Wilt purchased a threshing machine, which by his mechanical ingenuity was transformed into a portable saw mill. This he moved from place to place, and the business proved so profitable that he continued in it for 21 years. He then returned to farming and has since devoted himself to the development of his property, which is widely known as the "Glendale Farm." It contains an interesting memorial of the old Erie canal in the well-defined two-path, which still may be traced over its surface. Mr. and Mrs. Wilt are members of the Methodist church. He is a faithful Democratic voter, but has never desired prominence in any walk of life, being content to do his duty modestly and without hope of present reward. On 24 Sep 1863 Mr. Wilt was married at Franklin, Pennsylvania, to Miss Elizabeth Chrispen, daughter of William and Sarah (McLean) Chrispen. He father, well known as a substantial farmer of Pennsylvania, died in 1890 at the age of 71 years. His wife survived him until 1903, when she passed away, aged 84 years. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Wilt. Their eldest was William Edward, born in 1865 and who is engaged in farming on a place adjoining the old homestead. He married Miss Margaret Snodgrass, daughter of John and Sarah (Kline) Snodgrass, well known residents of Crawford Co., Pennsylvania. Their children are: John and Virgil, aged respectively 16 and 14, and Eva and Florence, 6 and 5 years of age. John, the second son of Samuel C. Wilt, is deceased, and Ralph, the third, is living at home with his parents. Frank Leslie Wilt, the youngest of the family, married Miss Elizabeth Wilson and is also living on a farm adjoining the old family homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Wilt have become the parents of two children--Clayton Leon, Randall E. Besides Mrs. Samuel C. Wilt there were ten children in her family, as follows: George Chrispen, a farmer now residing at Oil City, Pennsylvania; Manuel, a farmer residing at Franklin, Pennsylvania; Osborn, living at Oil Field, Ohio; Sarah, now Mrs. J. Whitner, whose husband is a farmer of Franklin; George, who was a soldier in the Civil war; and David, Phoebe, Permilla, Ann, and William, all of whom are also deceased.

1909 -- A 20th Century History of Mercer Co., Pennsylvania (White--1909) pages 933-4: Ervin E. Reed is well known in the business circles of Greenville as a member of the house of Hecker and Reed, dealers in flour and feed. He is also numbered among the Spanish- American war soldiers, having enlisted on 10 Jun 1898, in Co. K, 15th Regt. of Pennsylvania Vol. Inf. He was called out on 27 Apr 1898, for he had first enlisted in 1895, and served with the Pennsylvania National Guard. He served as the corporal of his company, and received an honorable discharge on 17 Nov 1898. He is now a member of Thomas Evans Camp No. 12, Spanish War Veterans, and also has membership relations with Custer Lodge No. 469, Knights of Pythias, and Alhambra Lodge Nor. 293 I.O.O.F. Mr. Reed traces his ancestry to Ireland and Scotland. His grandfather, Michael Reed, was born in 1806 in Lawrence Co., Pennsylvania, and from there came to Mercer Co. and worked at his trade of cabinet-making. He was also numbered among the pioneer agriculturists of this county. John Mathew Reed, the seventh of the ten children born to Michael Reed, claimed Mercer county as the place of his nativity, as he was born here on 20 Feb 1843, and he died on 26 Dec 1907, one of the highly esteemed citizens and business men of this community. He attained to mature years on the homestead farm in Mercer Co., but sometime in the '60s he drifted westward to Indian, Illinois, and Iowa, where he worked at his trade of marble-cutting until he returned to his old home here. Resuming his trade of marble-cutting, he worked at that and at stone-cutting until he returned to the farm in 1888, and from that time until his death he followed the tilling of the soil for a livelihood. He served his town of West Salem well and faithfully for a number of years as a school director, and at the time of his death was the incumbent in the office of supervisor. His politics were Democratic, and he was a staunch and true member of the United Presbyterian church. In his early manhood he married Mary E. Snodgrass, born in Greene Twp., her natal day being 8 Jun 1851, and she is now living on the old homestead farm in West Salem twp. Alexander Snodgrass, her father, was a farmer, and he spent his days in Pennsylvania, a true and faithful member of the United Presbyterian church, and a Democrat in his political affiliations. He was of Irish parentage. John Mathew Reed and Mary E. Snodgrass were married in Greene twp., and their union was blessed by the birth of nine children, namely: Elsworth, who died at the age of 29 years; Alpheus, who died at the age of 19 years; Harry A., Milton A., Ervin E., Jennie E., Elsie L., Frederick P., and Lulu B. Ervin E. Reed was born in Hempfield Twp., Mercer Co., 28 Aug 1877, and remaining at home with his parents until sixteen years of age, he then became a clerk in a grocery store. He next became associated with the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad Company, but some time afterward resumed his grocery clerkship, and in the fall of 1905 he became associated with J. s. Hecker in the flour and feed business in Greenville. On 26 Aug 1903, Mr. Reed was united in marriage with Clara M. Bortz, who was born in this city on 19 Jan 1879, a daughter of Tilgman and Sarah (Beckman) Bortz, both of whom were born in Mercer Co. Tilgman Bortz was born in the twp. of West Salem, and he learned and followed the trade of shoemaking, the larger part of his life having been spent in Greenville. He was a member in good standing of the Lutheran church, and was identified politically with the Republican party. He had been twice married, and by his first union he had two children, but both died in infancy. Mrs. Bortz, of German parentage, survives her husband, and she is the mother of two children, Frederick and Mrs. Reed, the son also living in Greenville. Mr. Reed gives his political support to the Democracy, and he is a member of the Lutheran church.
1909 -- A 20th Century History of Mercer Co., Pennsylvania (White--1909) pages 1049-1050: Lewis S. Yeager, who is a substantial farmer of Perry twp., conducting both a farm and a dairy on one of the old picturesque homesteads of Mercer county, was born on the farm which he now occupies on 21 May 1870. His grandparents and father were all born in Prussia, the former being Peter and Mary C. (Wadenphul) Yeager, who landed in New York City from the fatherland on 26 Oct 1840. The mother of the family died just before landing, and on 12 Nov of the same year the father brought the children to Pittsburgh, where he was a truck farmer of Chartier township until his death. He reared nine children, of whom Peter, the father of Lewis S., was the second in order of birth. Peter Yeager, Sr., was a veteran of the German army, with which he was connected for nine years, serving as an officer in the war of 1812. Peter Yeager was reared a farmer, and on 7 Mar 1848, married Mary, daughter of Jacob F. Smith, of Woods Run, Allegheny Co., and five years afterward located on the homestead in Perry twp., which was the birthplace of most of their eleven children. The mother, born 10 Jun 1832, is living with her son, of this sketch. Her father, a native of Germany, died in 1880, aged 75, and her mother, Mary Magdalena Ochner, passed away at the age of 62 years. she was the daughter of George Ochner, a native and lifelong resident of Germany. His wife was burned to death. The house in which she lived caught fire and she, rushing to get her babe, was overcome, and both she and her child perished in the flames. Mr. and Mrs. Smith came to America about 1844 and settled near Pittsburgh, and from there moved to Greenville on the old Jamestown road in 1853, which made them among the pioneers of that section. Besides Mrs. Yeager, there are two members of the family living--George Smith, a farmer of Sugar Grove twp., and Caroline, now the wife of J. Snodgrass, an Iowa farmer.

29 Jan 1920 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Thursday, 29 Jan 1920: Meadville, Jan. 29—Sheriff James Snodgrass beat an attempt to break jail at 10 o’clock last night. He was attacked in the cell section by three prisoners who had the freedom of the corridor, and who overpowered him and took his keys. Miss Mildred Snodgrass, the sheriff’s daughter, heard the fight and just as the prisoners reached the outer door, she plugged the lock with a key from the outside. The prisoners then ran back into the second corridor and braced the door against the police, who had been called, and began cutting at window bars they had before started. The police chiseled the door open before the prisoners could get the bars cut, and the incident was quickly ended. Sheriff Snodgrass put up a hard fight and was considerably bruised. ------31 Jan 1920 – The Record-Argus (Greenville, Mercer Co., Pennsylvania), Saturday, 31 Jan 1920: Meadville, Jan. 31—It has developed that the injuries which Sheriff James A. Snodgrass sustained Wednesday night while fighting prisoners to prevent a jail delivery were of a more serious nature than first thought, and the sheriff was confined to his bed under the care of three physicians, with every promise of spending 10 days or two weeks there. A broken rib which was not discovered until a careful examination was made Thursday morning, bruises which left his body black and blue, and a high blood pressure which threatened a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage are the principal causes of worry to his doctors. At all events the sheriff will not be able to resume his duties for a number of days as a result of the battle that he put up against the three men who led the fight to overpower him, and it was only an iron will and a wiry physique that prevented him from taking a more terrible beating.

It is believed by neighbors that Snodgrass was mentally unbalanced, and he is known to have suffered from melancholia and depression. It is reported that he had threatened to take his life. Illness is the only attributable cause for his act. He was a prosperous farmer and is not known to have had any financial worries. He was 55 years old, unmarried, and lived alone in his modestly equipped home. No one witnessed the deed. Grant Youngblood, of Atlantic, had called on him a few minutes before the shooting. It is stated that Mr. Youngblood found Snodgrass handling a revolver and asked him for it. He surrendered it without hesitation. Mr. Youngblood then suggested that Snodgrass accompany him and Mrs. Youngblood on a drive, and he agreed. Mrs. Youngblood was waiting in front of the house in an automobile, and the two men went out. Snodgrass then asked his visitors to wait a few minutes, stating that he wished to get something to eat. They agreed, and he returned to the house. It was only a few minutes later that they were startled by the report of a gun. Rushing to the scene, Mr. Youngblood found Snodgrass dead inside the building, part of his head blown away, and the shotgun lying beside his body. It is believed that the weapon was discharged by using a wire to operate the trigger. Mr. Youngblood at once telephoned to the Crawford county coroner, and that officer pronounced the wounds to have been self-inflicted. The body was brought to the Baird Funeral Home morgue in Greenville. ------W. P. Snodgrass. William Pressley Snodgrass, 55, died Sunday at his home near Kennard.
