History of Page County, Iowa

In the summer of 1846 S. F. SNIDER settled near the center of the

County, on Snake Creek, just above its junction with the East Tarkio.  He

removed to Montgomery County, but subsequently returned to Page County,

and was elected county judge in 1854.

-------------------

Cutler's History of Kansas, Washington County

In 1858 S. F. Snider, the first Probate Judge of the county and who held the office for several years, first came to this section and built three cabins in the southwestern part of Charleston Township

County Officers: Probate Judge, S. F. Snider

When Judge Snider's name was first proposed he had been a resident of Kansas but a few days, having resigned the office of County Judge in Page County, Iowa, and removed to Washington. He told his friends that he was not even a legally qualified voter, but he was induced to run, upon the plea of dearth of legal timber and his own known ability, and elected, serving the county well for a number of years.

 

The time for holding the election to decide upon the county-seat was fixed for November, 1860. Washington had been incorporated the previous fall, and in August, 1860, the town company donated a number of lots to the county to induce the voters to favor this location. There were two other competitors. "Rogersville" was Judge Snider's pet, located on his farm, four miles northeast of the center of the county, in what is now Charleston Township. About four miles west of Washington was a paper town (West Union), located on James McNulty's claim, and fathered by him, Ralph Ostrander and James Darby. On the afternoon of the election day Judge Snider withdrew Rogersville from the race, and threw its seven votes for Washington, thereby selecting this point as the county-seat.

 

In the fall of 1860 E. Woolbert built a large two-story log house, where he kept hotel and postoffice at the same time. In 1865, when he resigned as postmaster, he sold his house to S. F. Snider for $250. In 1868 Mr. Snider sold the building to the county, and it became known as the old stockade court house. Burning down in the spring of 1869, it was re-built by the county in 1871, and burned a second time December 15, 1872. Most of the county records were burned, as the fire occurred early on Sunday morning, and was not discovered until it had obtained great headway. The building was insured for $2,000 and was rebuilt by the Insurance Company in July, 1873. This is the present court house, a plain, unpretending two-story structure, which will doubtless soon be replaced by a more pretentious building.
