According to the 1880 census George was still farming, living with his wife Sara and children Elizabeth, Cyrus, SARAH, & George.
GEORGE'S obituary appeared in the Lebanon Daily News and stated "George Snoke, aged about 75 years, died Thursday night of general debility after a lingering illness, at his home, in North Annville township, near Syner. He was a retired farmer and a native of Lebanon County. He was a faithful member of the Lutheran church and was widely known and respected. His second wife and these children survive... (His wife's name was not mentioned. The next two paragraphs of the obituary contained the names of his surviving children & stated that his son John W., who was the superintendent of public schools, was attending the annual teachers' institute when he was called to his father's bedside. There were five teachers mentioned that were appointed to draw up resolutions of condolence and A.C. Yiengst was appointed messenger to convey them to Supt. Snoke.)
GEORGE'S Will (Lebanon Co. Court House S-454 Book D p. 197) was written 21 Aug 1897 and he died 19 Nov 1897 at the age of 76. After Sara's death he married a woman by the name of Prucilla, and he bequeathed "to my wife Prucilla the whole of my estate after my debts are paid...after her death the real and personal property shall be divided as follows-among my children To my daughters and Sons. To Lissie the sum of Two Hundred dollars absolute. One hundred to John W., to Sarah wife of John Wittenmoyer. David L., Harry L. and Lissie & John W." The balance of the estate would be divided among the children but first would be paid "to Cyrus & George who shall only receive one dollar each as they have already received more than the rest."

Note: CATHARINE and GEORGE SNOKE were married about 1820 when CATHARINE was 19 years old and GEORGE was 32. They lived in North Annville Twp. near Steelstown. GEORGE was a farmer and a carpet weaver.
In the Federal Census of 1850 GEORGE is listed as a Labourer and the value of his real estate owned was $600. Their daughter Elizabeth lived next door with Benjamin and Sarah Alleman. Another daughter Susanna also lived with neighbors, Henry and Lydia Frank. Both of these families were living on farms. In 1860 he was still listed as a Laborer with real estate valued at $928. & personal estate owned at $150.
Apparently GEORGE was the black-sheep of the family. GEORGE'S father's will was written when GEORGE was 20 years old. For some unknown reason GEORGE was not mentioned in the will. (Dauphin CoCH Will C-93-3). GEORGE outlived most of his childless brothers and sisters and in 1852 (when he was 64 years old) he ended up with his father's property. (LebCCH Orphans Court F16, F649, C508 & Aug term 1852). GEORGE then sold the property to his son David (LebCCH Deed M 289).
When GEORGE died, the Bindnagle Ch. recorded "GEORGE SNOKE, sick about a week, leaves 12 children, 3 sons & 9 daughters. 76 years. 2 Jan 1864." His Will is filed at the LebCCH (5-182). In the Will he leaves his entire estate to his wife Catharine "during her natural life or so long as she remains my widow and immidiately(sic) after the death of my said wife Catharine or her widowhood which ever may first happen It is my will that the whole of my estate real and personal shall be sold to the best advantage and the proceeds thereof shall be divided Share and Share alike among all my children."
GEORGE'S inventory (LebCCH-A302) includes Wagon $12., Hay Ladders $1., Carriage $18., Sleigh Bells $3., Spinning weel $1.50, 1 watch $2.50 & some farm implements, for a total of
$416.60. "Articles left for the use of the widow at her request as directed by the will of said deceased" included - 4 cows $35., wind mill $1., Flax Brake 25~, grinding stone $1., Bedstead $4., stove & pipe $2., barrels & staves $2., 1 chest $1., Cabbage Cutter & Cupboard $1.25, Copper Kettle & Wool Wheel $2., tables, chairs & benches $2. The total value was $122.50.
