INTRODUCTION TO THE SNODGRASS SOURCE BOOKS The state source books were created by Charlou Dolan. She began this massive project ca. 1986, organizing and typing the accumulation of Snodgrass research when she got "boxes and boxes" of files from Scott F. Hosier (he was Editor of The MACE 1978-1986). Those files formed the nucleus of the "source books". During her tenure as Editor of The MACE, 1987-1993 and since, Charlou has been hard at it: gathering and entering into the source books Snodgrass data, making trips to courthouses and libraries across the country, collecting files & family data from past & present members of The Snodgrass Clan Society, as well as soliciting information from many other Snodgrass researchers. The source books are one of the best tools available to anyone researching Snodgrass. One for nearly every state, each is organized by county and within each county, info is arranged by date. These source books contain a wealth of Snodgrass research. Census readings - wills - deeds - misc. court records - marriages - deaths - obits - histories - Bible records - even queries found in genealogical publications ... all Snodgrass! Charlou's comments on the collected data are shown as < . > throughout. Any comments marked [ . ] or [vss -] were added by me, Violet "Suzie" Snodgrass Schoolcraft beginning in 1997, the result of my reading the source books and tracing families since I first joined The Snodgrass Clan Society in 1993. PLEASE keep in mind that the source books are meant to be a reference work - they give us an idea of what has already been found. Perhaps more importantly, they show us where to look next for what is yet to be done! REMEMBER, extractions & transcriptions, notes & comments may have errors or may be missing certain portions of the original material. ALWAYS refer to the original source material whenever possible, using the source books as a starting point to guide you in your individual research. If it is SNODGRASS we at The Snodgrass Clan Society continue to collect it! Please send items (with sources cited!) you want to share with others to: Paul D.

Doris lost her mother from childbirth complications and so was raised by her paternal grandparents. They were William Bender (b. 5 Feb 1861, d. 17 Dec 1938) and Eva Alta Yount (b. 22 Sep 1859, d. 2 Sep 1940), who had previously farmed in Brandon, IA. Doris graduated from Independence High School in 1933. She worked for a short time before marrying Walton Schultz on 10 Sep 1934 and moving to Iowa City. Walt was from the Deep River, IA, area and had dated Doris through high school. Walt worked as a car mechanic, and Doris made being a housewife the focus of her life. Three children were born to them in Iowa City. Janet (Rursch), b. 28 Jul 1936; James, b. 22 Jun 1940; and Sharon (Heal), b. 6 May 1944. Over the years Walt owned and managed several service stations in the Iowa City area. Meantime, Doris was taking care of the house, kids, and trying to stretch a dollar. Sewing for the children to save money and be thrifty was a constant activity. As the children grew up and moved into their own homes, Doris helped with grandchildren, being an excellent babysitter, and in the meantime Walt was in the garden producing wonderful food for the table. In the winter Doris sewed and Walt watched T.V. and read. As time went on, Doris became interested in antiques and especially dolls. Many a wonderful hour was passed, sewing for all the dolls. Doris bought, traded, and fixed dolls, loving every minute of it. She was a member of the Iowa City Doll Club. Up until the summer of 1988 either Walt or Doris could outwork anyone in the family. They found out in the fall of 1988 that they both had cancer. Walt died at home in North Liberty, IA, 30 Oct 1989. Doris was also at home when she died 14 Mar 1990. ####################################################################### BUENA VISTA COUNTY HISTORY & GENEALOGY The Albert City Caper (Buchan) (unindexed) Buena Vista Co.

[George] Snodgrass, M.D., farmer and stock-raiser, Section 24, post office, Milton, was born Jan 1, 1834, in Dauphin County, Pa. When three years old he came with his parents to Warren County, Ohio, where his father erected a grist mill and also engaged in farming. Here he spent his youth and attended school. At the age of sixteen he entered West Point College at Spring Bar, Ohio, where he remained three years. He then entered the office of Dr. Wade, his cousin, in Cincinnati, and attended the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery. In 1854 he came with his parents to Lee County, Iowa, where he attended lectures at Keokuk Medical College, and the same year was induced by Drs. Wallace and Egbert, to locate at Milton, going into partnership one year with Dr. Wallace, and then on his own account. The doctor, though having a very extensive practice, has never hung out a "shingle." He was married November 6, 1856, to Miss Sarah J. Billups, a native of Virginia and an orphan when they were married. They had five children: Wm. J., Martha J., Geo. W., John, and Sarah A. The doctor owns a fine farm of 800 or 900 acres, with three fine houses, which makes him somewhat a granger. He is a purely self-made man, starting with $100 less than nothing, he has acquired an enviable reputation for his professional and social qualities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1900 Davis Co IA Census Fabius, 21-4-10-23: Mary M.

NS MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS Harrison Co., IA, Teachers' Register, 1924 through 1975 (Myers) yes ****************************** RECORDS 1891 -- Hist. of Harrison Co., IA: pages 877-8: Hon. Thomas M. C. Logan, of River Sioux, Iowa, forms an important factor in the history of Harrison County, with which he has been closely identified for almost a quarter of a century. While in a brief biographical notice it is impossible to do a prominent man's career ample justice, yet in keeping with the remainder of the representative men of Harrison County, the subjoined notice may suffice. Human life is full of two kinds of history--the written and unwritten, and not unfrequently does it occur, in fact it is the general rule, that the deeds of one's life which are of the most value to the world and the community, never find their way into printed history. The following is an outline of Hon. T. M. C. Logan's life. He is a native of Indiana, born in Rush County, on the 13th of February, 1830. He is the son of Samuel and Sarah (Snodgrass) Logan, natives of Ireland and Virginia respectively. The father was an extensive business man, who died in Cincinnati, Ohio during the cholera epidemic of 1834, when our subject was but four years of age. [vss - Samuel Logan m. Sarah Snodgrass 11 Oct 1827 Rush Co IN; and 1830 Rush Co IN has a John Snodgrass - need the reading of that] By our subject's father's second marriage there were two sons born--T. M. C. and Jacob M., the latter, dying on the cars in 1861, near Hadley, Ill. Our subject's early life was spent in the Hoosier State, and he received his education at the district schools, and at the High School at Fairfield. His first business experience, on his own account, was in 1857, when he engaged in the stock and grain business in Richland Co., IL, continuing in the same until 1864, when he came to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he handled grain in connection with Leech Bros., and remained there until 1877, and then came to Logan, Iowa, where he embarked in the grain and livestock trade. In 1887, he commenced operations in River Sioux, buying grain and stock there and at Blencoe, which business he is still following. During the last year, he shipped two hundred thousand bushels of grain from two points. He owns a flouring mill at River Sioux, which has a capacity of sixty barrels per day, and also an elevator having a capacity of ten thousand bushels, also is operating one in Onawa. Politically, Mr. Logan is a stanch supporter of the Republican party, believing as he does that under its administration, this country is the most prosperous. In 1881, was nominated at Denison, for State Senator, on the Republican ticket, in the thirty-fourth Senatorial district, the candidate for Governor of Iowa in 1891, H. C. Wheeler being an opposing candidate in the convention. The district was then composed of Harrison, Monona, Crawford, Ida, and Sac Counties, and our subject was elected by a majority of 110, holding the position four years, and serving with much credit, to himself as well as his constituents. In 1879, he was elected as a member of the Board of Supervisors in Harrison Co., and has always been active in educational matters, as well as espousing the cause of temperance, and let it here be remarked that the thousands of loyal party workers, who believe in temperance, have been the redeeming feature and saving power, of the Republican party in Iowa. At the time our subject took his seat as a Supervisor in Harrison Co., county warranty were at 20 and 25% discount, but through his efforts and others, the debt was bonded and the credit of the county brought up to par. Again the law of Iowa requires that in order to hold a bondsman, funds must be called in and counted at regular specified times, and through our subject's persistency in requiring this to be done, he saved the county several thousand dollars. As to Mr. Logan's domestic relations, it may be said that he was first married at La Porte, IN, in Feb 1851 to Miss Charlotte Snodgrass, a daughter of John and Matilda (Steward) [vss - Matilda Stewart] Snodgrass [vss - 14 Jan 1840 La Porte Co IN, widow Matilda Snodgrass m. Samuel Elithorpe - they & Charlotte are on 1850 La Porte Co IN]. By this marriage union, there were two children born -- Reuben and Charlotte. Reuben was born in Rush Co., IN, 1 Jul 1853, and Lottie, in Linn Co., IA, 18 Jan 1865. The mother of these children was called from earth in 1866. For his second wife our subject married Miss Harriet Herbert at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is the daughter of Samuel and Dehelia Herbert [vss - 1 Jan 1846 La Porte Co IN Delila Snodgrass m. Samuel Herbert - is she, too, d/o John Snodgrass & Matilda ?]. By this marriage union, nine children were born- Louise S., born 29 Jan 1868; William E., 30 Sep 1869; Merritt J., 1 May 1872; Ernest A., 3 Jan 1874; Mabel M., 21 Nov 1875; Maude A., 10 Dec 1877; T. M. C., Jr., 8 Aug 1880; Nita E., 25 Sep 1884; Harrison G., 8 May 1886; all born in Harrison Co., Iowa. Like many of the representative men of Harrison Co., our subject is identified with various civic societies, which have for their object, the upbuilding and maintenance of good society. He belongs to Masonic Lodge, No. 220, A. F. & A. M.; Missouri Valley Chapter, and Ivanhoe Commandery of Knights Templar at Council Bluffs, and is also an honored member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at Logan. In reviewing the life of such an one as our subject, one is impressed with the value of intelligence and uprightness of character as found in his daily walk. In political circles, he has always been classed as one of the leaders and not unfrequently do you hear the remark that certainly one can learn more from Mr. Logan in one evening than from many others in a lifetime. He keeps himself well posted in this line as well as others and therefore is always able to explain the position he takes by facts and figures which never cease to be interesting. He has one of the best political libraries in the country, among which is Young's Political history, Tom Benton's Thirty years in the Senate (two volumes); Cooper's Political history; Blaine's Twenty Years in Congress; also the American Britannica and Johnson's Encyclopaedia. --------------------------- 1941-1942 -- Dorothy Snodgrass taught in Dist. 5, Washington Twp.

McDaniel, a prominent and well-known resident of this city, passed away at her home on Tuesday morning, 25 Mar 1913, at 8 o'clock. Mrs. McDaniel's health had been gradually failing for years, and death came gently, releasing her spirit from a weary body. Sarah Ann Snodgrass was born in Fulton county, IL, on 13 Feb 1836. Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel were both well known as pioneer residents of this city, as all of their married life was spent in Wapello. Three children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy, and one daughter, Maud, grew to womanhood. Her death, in 1884, at the age of 26 years, was a heavy blow to her parents, causing a sorrow to the mother's heart, which was never healed. Mr. McDaniel's death occurred 2 Oct 1908, and thus the wife and mother was left alone in her old age. The deceased united with the Presbyterian church 17 Jun 1888, and was ever a faithful member, living daily in the presence of her Master and following closely where He led. She was a loyal Christian, trusting with all simplicity in Him "who knoweth and doeth all things well." Faithfully did she follow the command of the Blessed Christ: "Love ye one another even as I have loved you." Mrs. McDaniel is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Matilda Armstrong of Eaton, CO; Mrs. Susan Presbury of Wilbur, OK; and Mrs. Clarissa Rose of London Mills, IL; and one brother, Robert Snodgrass, of Lakeland, FL. She is also survived by a number of nephews and nieces, who regarded her with affection and were glad of any opportunity to serve her or lighten her burdens. The funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church this afternoon, 27 Mar, at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Carl Montanus. Interment was in Wapello cemetery. ######################################## LUCAS COUNTY (977.7863) CENSUS RECORDS 1870 census - yes (only part of county checked) 1880 census - yes (only part of county checked) 1880 soundex - yes 1900 census - yes 1920 soundex - yes NEWSPAPER RECORDS Birth Announcements from the Chariton Patriot - yes VITAL RECORDS Iowa Genealogical Records, vol. 60 - yes ******************************* RECORDS 27 Dec 1860 -- John R.

Snodgrass, Company I, 30th Iowa Infantry - - - - - - - - - - page 211: Early Joys and Sorrows: An Interesting Find. One fall, in the '50's, Dr. Gutch, then a young medical student, was teaching school near where Maxon now stands. One day, during the noon hour, he and the school boys were out on the hillsides gathering hazel nuts. They saw a strange object some distance away, near the roadside. Some thought it a deer, others a mad dog having a fit. They crept cautiously up to it to investigate, and they finally discovered that it was a man. They approached the apparently lifeless form and discovered it to be that of Joe McMullen. Gutch examined his pulse and then remarked: "Damned, if he ain't alive!" They carried him to a hay-stack nearby, and in due time he became conscious and returned home. He had just made a horse trade with Jesse Snodgrass, and had gotten $15 to boot. He had considered it a good trade, and to get the better of Jesse Snodgrass in a horse trade was an achievement worthy of celebrating by taking a drink at Harrow's grocery. He had taken a little too much, and on his return had become "becalmed." - - - - - - - - - - page 251: The associate Presbyterians ("Seceders") An incident of early times will serve to illustrate the colonizing methods of the "Seceders." Old Billy Piper lived on a claim in the Snodgrass neighborhood. The farm is now owned by Mr. Lathan. Piper was not a "Seceder" by any means, but Jesse Snodgrass and his surrounding neighbors were. It was, of course, desireable on the part of the "Seceders" to locate settlers in their midst who were of the same religious persuasion as themselves. One day Jesse Snodgrass brought into the neighborhood a man from Ohio. The man was a "Seceder," and hence was a very desirable man to locate. Old Billy Piper was grubbing near the roadside when Mr. Snodgrass rode up with his man. After a friendly salutation and introduction of the two strangers, Mr. Snodgrass thus opened negotiations for the purchase of the claim in behalf of his man: "Would ye sell yer claim, Misther Piper? Sure an' ye are a foine man, an' a gude neighbor, but ye are not the kind of a mon we want wi' us, an' we would loike til git rid of ye." This very frank admission greatly incensed the old unregenerate anti-"Seceder," and seizing a fence stake, he made after the offending neighbor, who beat a hasty retreat, leaving his horse behind hitched to a fence. - - - - - - - - - - pages 253-4: Pleasant Twp. was the cradle of the white race in Monroe Co., and no sooner had the settlers arrived than they framed a church organization.

Hist. of Appanoose & Monroe Cos., IA: pages 270-272: Jesse Snodgrass One cannot carry his investigations far into the history of Monroe county without learning that the Snodgrass family has long been a prominent and honored one in this section of the state. The year 1846 witnessed the arrival not only of our subject but his parents and their children, and the three generations which have been represented have taken an active part, first in reclaiming the wild land for farming purposes and since then in carrying forward the work of improvement and upbuilding. Jesse Snodgrass was born in Muskingum county, Ohio, 1 Jan 1831, a son of Jesse and Jane (Atchison) Snodgrass. The father was born in Ireland in 1784 and spent the first twenty-four years of his life on the Emerald Isle, after which he crossed the Atlantic to America in 1809 on a sailing vessel. He took up his abode in Pennsylvania, and the year 1812 was an eventful one in his history, for in that year he was married and he also enlisted for service in the second war with England. He wedded Jane Atchison, a native of Washington county, PA, and in 1825 they removed to Ohio, where they remained for twenty years, coming thence to Monroe Co., IA, in 1846. All was wild here, the district being a frontier region, and the father entered from the government the land upon which the city of Albia now stands, making it his home for nine years. His last days were spent upon the farm of his son Jesse, where he died in 1876 at the age of ninety-two years. His wife, whose birth occurred in 1795, died in Albia in 1858. In his political views Jesse Snodgrass Sr. was a Democrat in early life, but became a staunch adherent of the abolition principles, and when the Republican party was formed to prevent the further extension of slavery, he joined its ranks and continued to march under its banners until his death. Jesse Snodgrass, whose name introduces this record, remained a resident of Ohio until fifteen years of age, when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Monroe county, where he has since resided, and its history from pioneer times down to the present is familiar to him. He assisted in the arduous task of developing a new farm from the unbroken prairie, following the breaking plow and later planting crops and gathering harvests. Throughout most of his life he has carried on farming, and is today the owner of a valuable tract of rich and productive land, comprising 250 acres. It is splendidly equipped with excellent buildings, the latest improved machinery and all accessories for facilitating the work of the farm, and through the careful and systematic control of his business affairs he has gained a very handsome experience. In addition to his agricultural pursuits he was engaged in merchandising in Albia for nine years. Mr. Snodgrass was united in marriage to Miss Sarah M. Martin, a native of Monroe Co., IN, and a daughter of William and Sarah Martin, who were natives of Ireland. After living in Indiana for some time they became residents of Monroe Co., Iowa, in 1846, and here they spent their remaining days. To Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass have been born nine children, of whom six are yet living: Olive, who married John Lucas and has eight children; Cora B., at home; Emma, the wife of Dr. Bartram; Charles, who is married and has two children; Susie, who is married and has two children; and Clara, who is also married but has no children. Mr. Snodgrass provided his family with excellent educational privileges, all having entered the district schools and from there advanced until they became students in the state normal. The family is one of prominence in the community, noted for intelligence, business capacity, social qualities and moral worth. Most of the representatives of the name living in this county are members of the United Presbyterian church, although some are identified with other denominations. Since the parents of our subject came to the frontier of Iowa in 1846, Monroe county has been indebted to the family for what has been accomplished by its members in four generations for the welfare and progress of this section of the state. Mr. Snodgrass has borne his full share in upholding the country's best interests, and wherever he is known, he is esteemed for is genuine worth. He is a supporter of the Republican party, with which he has affiliated since casting his first presidential vote for John C. Fremont in 1856, but has never been an office seeker, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business affairs, in which he has met with gratifying success. -------------------------------- (14 Mar 1904) -- James R.

Iowa (publ. 1890), pages 658-659: Joseph Snodgrass The Great Grandfather of the subject of this sketch, immigrated from Ireland to America and settled in Virginia. Samuel Snodgrass, his son, was the father of three children who lived to maturity: James, Robert, and Samuel. Samuel Snodgrass, father of Joseph was born in Virginia and was married to Susan McCastin [vss - McCaslin], dau. of William and Elizabeth McCastin, who came directly to this country from Ireland. Samuel and Susan (McCastin) Snodgrass were the parents of eleven children: James, Ellen, William, Samuel, Jane, Mabel, Robert, Phoebe, Joseph, John and Edmund, all of who lived to maturity. The parents lived for some time after marriage on a farm in Virginia, and at an early day removed to Jefferson County, Indiana, and settled within three miles of Hanover College; they resided in this County for many years and went to Decatur County, Indiana, where the father died at the age of fifty-four years. He was an industrious, capable man, but owing to an accident which occurred in his childhood he did not enjoy the blessing of good health. In his younger days he taught school. He and his wife were earnest members of the Presbyterian Church. Joseph Snodgrass, son of Samuel and Susan Snodgrass, was born in Jefferson Co., IN, in 1822, and received a limited education in the common schools of that day. He went with his father when a lad to Decatur Co., IN, and there learned the tanner's trade, which he followed for ten years. At the age of 22 years he started a tannery business in Bartholomew Co., IN, where he remained for three years; he then sold out and returned to Decatur Co., and engaged in the same business at Greensburg. In 1845 he was married in Johnson Co., IN, to Miss Jane A. Hammond, a dau. of Lot and Betsey (Barnum) Hammond. Mr. Hammond was a native of Baltimore, and his father was a merchant in that City. Mrs. Hammond was a native of Connecticut and of an old Puritan family; they were the parents of ten children, who lived to maturity. Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass have seven children: Caroline, wife of Benjamin Laswell; Elijah, who married Jane Miller; Alonzo, who ... -------------------- 20 Jan 1896 -- Boyd Snodgrass, b. 2 Sep 1894, d. 20 Jan 1896, buried Shearer Cemetery, Braddyville, Buchanan Twp. ---------------------- 1900 Page Co IA Census Buchanan Twp., 58-82-1-90: A.

William E. Snodgrass, enlisted July 18 (1861?). 1887 -- Portrait & Biog. Album of Washington Co., IA: pages 621-2: Mrs. Eliza Moorhead. The distinction of being the oldest living settler of this county attaches to this lady, who with her husband, Matthew Moorhead, came to the county when the State was yet a Territory, and purchased a claim from Adam Ritchie, who had preceded them. The location of Mr. and Mrs. Moorhead was made on their present farm, July 27, 1837. Her husband was a son of Matthew and Lydia (David) Moorhead, both natives of Westmoreland Co., PA., who afterward settled in Butler Co., Ohio, in which county Matthew Moorhead was born. His mother's children consisted of two sons and three daus.-- Robert, Matthew, Ann, Jane, and Mary -- Matthew being the only one who came to this State. After the death of their mother, his father was married to Mrs. Hester Blackburn, mother of James, Mary & another son by her first husband. The couple remained in Butler County, Ohio, during their lifetime, and were buried on her sacred soil. Matthew Moorhead, Jr., was born in 1809, and his wife Eliza Snodgrass, whom he married in 1834, in Sangamon Co., IL, was born in 1815. She was a dau. of William and Mary (Vance) Snodgrass. William was a son of Robert and Sarah (Taylor) Snodgrass, and his birthplace was upon the ocean, as the parents were emigrating from Ireland to America. They were natives of Scotland, but had removed to Ireland, being heirs of an estate to which they were entitled. Robert and Sarah Snodgrass were the parents of William, James, Agnes, Sarah, Samuel, Robert, and John. The family settled near Pittsburgh, Pa., and later moved to Greene County, Ohio, where the parents remained during their lives. Both were members of the Seceder Church and life-long Christians. William Snodgrass was for almost half a century a minister in the Free-Will Baptist Church, near Athens, Sangamon Co., Ill., to which State he with his family removed in 1822, and later of Dubuque County, Iowa. He served as a private during the War of 1812, and the widow of Samuel Snodgrass still preserves his old knapsack as a relic of that war. He was in his seventy-third, and his wife in her seventy-second year when their deaths occurred at Dubuque, Iowa, to which place they removed in the spring of 1836. Matthew Moorhead, the husband of our subject, learned the cabinet trade in Scipio, Ohio, and after coming to Illinois engaged in that business until his emigration to this State. In Sangamon County, Ill., he met, loved, and won the heart and hand of our subject, then a young lady aged nineteen years. The marriage ceremony was performed at her father's residence, Feb. 6, 1834, by Rev. Peter Cartwright, the best-known Methodist minister of his day. Under the Rev. Cartwright's preaching, she was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, being received into full membership at the home of Bazilla Clark, of Sangamon County. The young couple for some time made their home at Salisbury, Ill., where their two eldest children were born-- William R. and Mary A. Both are deceased, the latter at date of death being the wife of Rev. John Haynes, Presiding Elder of the Meth. Episcopal Church of the Burlington District. July 27, 1837, Matthew Moorhead, wife and two small children, headed a train of ox-teams, which conveyed their goods from Illinois to this county. The hot sun poured its fiercest rays upon the emigrants, and they suffered for water while crossing the wide prairie between Burlington and their new home, which was a log house standing opposite Mrs. Brown's residence. Their nearest neighbor on the west was Thomas Caldwell, and on the east Abraham Hulick, while neither on the north nor south had a settler entered a claim. One of the earliest, if not the first marriage in the county, was at the new home, two weeks after the Moorheads came, the contracting parties being John Hulick and Nancy Goble, who with three other couples came on horseback to see Esquire Adam Ritchie tie the knot. This was the first marriage he was ever called upon to solemnize, and not a word of any kind of ceremony did he know, but through the aid of a Methodist Episcopal discipline owned by Mrs. Moorhead, it was satisfactorily performed. Ritchie was the first, and Matthew Moorhead the second Territorial Justice in this county. After the latter received his commission he achieved quite a well-earned reputation as Justice, and his acknowledged ability made him the choice of the Republican party, and in 1859 he was elected as the representative of that party to the State Legislature, in which body he both made himself felt and heard, and as a member, when the extra session was called in 1861 by Gov. Kirkwood, to make provisions for raising both troops and money to assist in putting down the Rebellion. One of the early landmarks in this county was the swinging sign, "Traveler's Inn," standing in front of Matthew Moorhead's house, which was a well-known hostelry, and a favorite lodging place for the hungry and tired traveler. Matthew was an entertaining host, and his young wife was an excellent cook. All the goods for Washington and the settlers along English River, were carted from Burlington, and the teamsters as well as the parties looking for lands, were made welcome. The first Methodist Episcopal class in the county was organized at their house in 1838, by Rev. West, consisting of five members -- Matthew and Eliza Moorhead, Benjamin and Susan Sigafoose, and Nelson Ball, of which class Matthew was Class-Leader. Their house was for many years used by the Methodist Episcopal members for public worship, and from the society a large membership has grown. After a long lifetime characterized by thrift and industry, Matthew Moorhead was gathered to his fathers, his death occurring in 1873. He was the father of ten children, four living, and all attained maturity: Joseph A., the youngest son, remains on the home farm with his mother; he resembles his father greatly in spirit and actions, and has had a thorough business experience, not only in this State but in Colorado, where for several years he was engaged in the stock trade. Sarah J., the oldest dau. living, and many claim for her the honor of being the first white child born in the county yet living, was born Nov. 22, 1838, and was reared and married in Crawford Township; her husband is Robert A. Young, a prosperous farmer of Henry County, whose farm lies partly in this county. Nine children have graced their union -- Eliza J., David M., John W., Laura M., Olive F., Lula J., Mary E., Ada R., and Robert C. Eliza is the wife of Walker W. Hough, of this county, and the mother of one dau., Edna F., the only great-grandchild of Mrs. Moorhead. John Wesley married Mrs. Hattie Thomas, and resides in Paola, Miami Co., Kan.; Matthew D., a resident of Denver, married Melati Kitchen. At the age of seventy-two, our subject appears active and fully possessed of every faculty. She manages her own house, which is cheerful, bright and roomy, and presents the appearance of comfort. As a family, the Moorheads have no superiors in the county, for honor and the esteem of their neighbors and acquaintances. The data forming this sketch was furnished by Mrs. Moorhead, and may be considered correct. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1900 Washington Co IA Census Cedar Twp., 79-109-5-4: Adam Wombarhees *** Bruce Snodgrass 38-M-VA/VA/VA May 1862 hand, farm laborer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1920 Washington Co IA Census/Soundex Wellman, 81-133-8-80: Henry Schulty *** Robert Snodgrass 63-M-OH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1940 -- The Iowa Press Assoc.
