(Book 19, page 176) (1923) --The History of West Virginia, Old and New, publ. 1923, by The American Historical Society, Inc., Chicago and New York: page 608 Wilford Bruce Snodgrass, who was born and has lived most of his life in the Smithfield community of Wetzel County, was a teacher for several years, has been interested in the practical side of farming, and for a number of years has been farm foreman for the South Penn Oil Company. Mr. Snodgrass was born near the present site of Smithfield on December 5, 1870. He is a member of a family that has been in West Virginia for four or five generations. The founder of the family in this country, a native of Holland [vss- I don't know who they think came from Holland, but it almost certainly was not a Snodgrass], came to Virginia in Colonial times and settled in what is now Marion County, West Virginia. He married a native of Ireland. The great-grandfather was John Snodgrass, [John & Anna Bateson] who spent all his life in Marion County as a farmer. The grandfather was John Dearborn Snodgrass [vss - this man is shown in every official record I have seen as John D., I have never seen any documentation of the name Dearborn!], who was born near Reevesville [Rivesville] in Marion County in 1814, and as a young man moved to Wetzel County, married there and followed farming. He died at Smithfield December 10, 1903. His wife was Nancy Hayes, who was born in Wetzel County in 1819, and died at the old homestead in October, 1908. James T. Snodgrass, father of Wilford B., was born in Grant District of Wetzel County in June, 1847. He was a youthful volunteer on the Union side in the Civil war, enlisting in the Seventh West Virginia Infantry, and serving during portions of the years 1863-64. From 1873 to 1881 he lived in Harrison County, but otherwise his life was spent in Grant District, and he was a very successful farmer and wool buyer. He was a democrat in politics, and he died at his home near Smithfield April 11, 1904. James T. Snodgrass married Eliza J. Moore, who was born in Harrison County February 22, 1850, and died near Smithfield June 9, 1919. These parents had two sons, William Riley and Wilford B. The former is an oil field worker, with home four miles east of Smithfield. Wilford Bruce Snodgrass was educated in the free schools of Grant District, also attended select schools, and in 1890 began teaching. His service as an educator was rendered at Jacksonburg one term, in the Starkey school four terms, and three terms at Pricetown. Mr. Snodgrass has been in the service of the South Penn Oil Company since 1899, beginning as a roustabout for the Smithfield headquarters of that company. Since 1903 he has been farm foreman. He owns two residences in Smithfield, each one being near the high school, and both are modern residences with all the comforts. He also has a dwelling in Pricetown, a farm near Pricetown, and is interested in the old homestead of 102 acres on Pickenpaw Run in Grant Dist. Mr. Snodgrass is a democrat, is affiliated with Wetzel Lodge No. 39, A. F. and A. M., at New Martinsville, Fairmont Chapter No. 9, R. A. M., Fairmont Commandery No. 6, K. T., West Virginia Consistory No. 1 of the Scottish Rite at Wheeling, Osiris Temple of the Mystic Shrine at Wheeling, and is one of the oldest and most prominent members of Lily Lodge No. 161, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, at Pricetown, being a past grand, and for the past twenty-five years has been secretary. Mr. Snodgrass suffered the loss of a son in the World war, and he was one of the leaders in local war activities, being a member of the Legal Advisory Board of the county and assisting personally to promote the success of every drive made in his home district. He married in Wetzel County, West Virginia, in 1894 Miss Hattie L. Nutter, who was born at Worthington, West Virginia, daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth (Nay) Nutter. Her father was a carpenter and died near Fairmont. The mother is now Mrs. Joseph W. Copenhaver, and they live at Pricetown. The soldier s/o Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass was James Paul, who was born March 5, 1896. He was a graduate of the Fairmont Normal School, a member of Mannington Lodge No. 31, A. F. and A. M., also past vice grand of Lily Lodge No. 161, I. O. O. F. He was an oil field worker when he enlisted May 7, 1918. He was on duty six weeks at Akron, Ohio, was made a sergeant from the ranks while in training at Columbia, South Carolina, and on August 4, 1918, started overseas with Battery C of the Twentieth Field Artillery. During the great Argonne battle on September 5, 1918, he was gassed and wounded, and on the 8th of September he died in Base Hospital No. 31 at Contrexeville, Vosges, France. His body was brought home to the United States and was buried with soldier's and Masonic honors near Smithfield May 30, 1921. Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass have four younger children: Harry Alphonso, born September 11, 1899, enlisted and was sent to the Army Training School at Buckhannon, where he remained from September 21, 1918, to December 21, 1918, when he was honorably discharged. He lives with his father, and is an oil field worker and a graduate of the Mannington Lodge No. 31, A. F. and A. M. The third child, Gypsy Jaqualine, was born October 14, 1901, is a graduate of the Smithfield High School, and is doing advanced work during the summers in the Fairmont State Normal School, while teaching during the regular school year in the public schools of Smithfield. Gladys Daphne born December 29, 1903, is a junior in the Smithfield High School and Walter B., the youngest child, was born March 24, 1909, and is an eighth grade student in the schools of Smithfield. 21 Dec 1923 -- Wetzel Republican, page 6: Paden Fork News: Mrs. Aretus Steel who has been visiting her brother G.
