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.

My wife died 28 Mar 1895. ------------------------- Deposition: Case of Nelson Snodgrass 14 Jul 1890, at Barnesville, Bourbon Co., KS...Nelson Snodgrass... My name is Nelson Snodgrass. Age 69 years. Occupation farmer. P.O. Barnesville, Bourbon Co., KS. I volunteered in Aug 1862 in Marion Co., WV, and was mustered in at Wheeling, WV in Co D. 3 WV Cav and was mustered out about 6 Jun 1865 at Wheeling, WV, from Co. D 3 WV Cav. In the spring of 1863 I think April at Fisher's Hill, VA, we were in battle and I received a musket ball in the muzzle of my navy revolver which threw my right arm back and injured my right shoulder to such an extent that I was not required to use or carry any saber afterwards. This musket ball was fired by the enemy we were going up the hill sight deep as there was a par-pet wall on the right of us as we went up and just as we got to the summit of the hill our first two platoons had just fired and the order was to return fire? and draw sabres and charge and it was just at this juncture that I received the ball in my navy hurting my right shoulder it did not wound my shoulder or clean out of joint but I was unable to swing my arm back and had to catch hold of my wrist and ____ my arm and shoulder and give it a twist before I could get it back and it was from this cause that I was excused from carrying a sabre. I was not in hospital for this injury and never received any treatment for it at all during my service. I was favored by my officers as much as possible I was commissary sergeant and never went on detail unless the whole company did. Since the am on the 10 Aug 1876 I fell from a horse and dislocated my right hip and parted the center ligament at the socket joint and at the same time I completed a dislocation of my right shoulder. I was treated for my shoulder and hip by Dr. Wm. Baird of Barnesville, KS. I was treated by Dr. Baird on account of said injuries about one year. I have not been treated by him since for the injuries to right hip and right shoulder. He set my shoulder twice during the time he was treating me for the injuries but my shoulder is still out of joint. I never had any treatment for the injury to my right shoulder from the date of my discharge up to the time I received the fall in aug 1876 and I have received no treatment since I was treated by Dr. Baird for the injuries to my right hip and shoulder which were received 10 Aug 1876. From the time I came out of the service up to the time I received the fall in Aug 1876 I was disabled about one half on account of the injury to my right shoulder which was received as above stated. ...I claim pension on account of deafness of both ears which was contracted during the summer of 1865 at "Starr Fort" Winchester VA by concussion of the two siege pieces which were fired over us we being down in the fort lying down I have never been treated for deafness during service or since discharge. I have been deaf ever since discharge and it has ___ very much against me in business I was elected assessor in 1868 in Marion Co., WV and by being deaf it ____ very much against me.... Q: Where did you live prior to your enlistment? A: I lived in Reevesville, Marion Co., WV. I was born and lived there until I enlisted. I lived at Reevesville, Marion Co., WV, from date of discharge to 1872 and since 1872 I have lived in Bourbon Co., KS. 16 Jul 1890 In addition to my statement made in my case yesterday relative to disabilities received in the service I had a malignant cancer on my right cheek about May or June 1863 at Hagerstown, MD. I don't know what caused it. I showed it to our Hospl Steward Chas. C. McClane now in Steubenville, Ohio, and he said he did not know what it was and it would develop itself. The second time I showed it to him it had bulged up the skin and he still remarked that he did not know what it was and I remarked to him that I feared it was a cancer. The next time I showed it to Morton Assist Regt. Surg. 3 W. VA. Cav. now dead, and he examined it and it had then got to be as large as an old fashioned five cent piece, and said he did not know what it was but would send me down to Brigade Hospl Headqrs and have it examined. He wrote a note to Brig. Hdqrs and I went down to Charleston W.VA and it was examined and the doctors pronounced it a malignant cancer. I don't remember the names of any of the doctors. He the surgeon wrote back to Morton stating what it was and told him to excise it. When I returned to Morton's Hdqrs he was not in. Hospl Stewd McClane broke the note open and read it and exclaimed if you ever let Morton excise it, it will kill you. He said the scientific world of doctors have never cured a cancer of malignant growth by excising it. I told McClane that there was a doctor in Marion Co., WV, near my original home who cured cancer and I would get a furlough and go home and he remarked that was all right and that would do. I got a furlough and went home in the winter of 1863 for fifteen days I went and seen the doctor Geo. W. Swisher and he commenced to treat me right off when the fifteen days had expired the cancer had not come out. I got my likeness taken and reported it back to my company and the doctor would not give his consent to my returning to my company for six weeks and when I did return to my company, I think it was Feby or March 1864 my right cheek was all raw. I think I went on furlough about holiday time 1863. The only treatment I received for the cancer was that given by Dr. Swisher. His P.O. address is Hoodsville, Marion Co., WV. I have never been treated for the cancer of my right cheek since discharge because it was cured but there is a large scar which is adherent to the cheek bone and my cheek is sunken and the right side of my face is disfigured on account of the cancer being removed. I did not know it was a cancer but i just suspicioned it was. No, I have never had one before or since that time. Q: Did any of your family ever have a cancer? A: Yes, a brother of mine had one and died in Macon, Macon Co., MO, about 1871 [vss - Nelson's brother Amos is on 1870 Macon Co MO] ==================== ##################################### BRECKENRIDGE COUNTY (see Lyon County) #################################################################### BROWN COUNTY (formed 1855 as original county) CENSUS RECORDS 1870 census - yes 1875 state census - yes 1880 soundex - yes 1900 census - yes 1910 miracode - yes 1920 census - yes PERIODICALS Midwest Hist. & Gen.

SNODGRASS DIES IN HOSPITAL Aged and Respected Citizen Dies After Lingering Illness John Vance Snodgrass was born near Boling Green, KY, 12 Aug 1847. When 7 years old, he moved with his parents to Johnson Co., MO, where he lived until the year 1879, when he moved near Winfield, Cowley county, moving a few years later to Elk county where he resided until his death at Mon__. Mr. Snodgrass was married to Miss Anna M. Jackson 26 Oct 1876. Three daughters were born to this union, one dying in infancy. Two daughters, Mrs. Minnie Wilson, of Moline; and Mrs. Maude Shartel of Neosho, MO, together with is faithful wife survive him. Beside these he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Columbia Wright of Chilhowee, MO, and Mrs. Lula Rice of Marshall, MO, and one brother, David E., of Argonia, KS. Mr. Snodgrass had been in failing health for some time and for nine weeks he had suffered intensely. Death came to his relief early on the morning of 12 Jun 1915. He was aged 67 years and 10 months. This is a little part of the history of a human life, the history of an aggressive, honest life. Always gentle and courteous in his social relations and in his business operations tried to do to others as he would have them do to him. This was his rule of life. This obituary states that his early life was spent in Missouri, but his ambitious spirit turned his face westward, and in the 70's he came to Kansas... ...pioneer. Kind in spirit, gentle in manner, he has drawn to himself a large circle of friends. It can be said of him: "His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'This was a man.'" Those who have been most intimately associated with Mr. Snodgrass and who know his sterling qualities of honesty, and integrity, hold him in highest esteem. We do well if like him we "be what we are, speak what we think, and in all things keep ourselves loyal to the true and sacred professions of friendship." As a husband and father he was kind and affectionate. You, to whom he was dearest, can say, "Here sleeps one who was our friend With meek hands folded on his breast, When the first flowers of summer came We softly laid him down to rest." Funeral services were held at the home of his daughter Mrs. Louis Wilson near Moline. Rev. E. G. Coons of Grenola, M. E. church officiated, assisted by Mrs. Belle yates, pastor of Church. Interment was in the moline cemetery. The large attendance and the many beautiful floral offerings attest the high esteem in which Mr. Snodgrass was held. --------------------------- 1920 Census Grenola City, 529/16-124-3-45: Leonard Snodgrass 39-M-MO/IL/KY merchant drug clerk Clara Snodgrass 35-F-KS/KS/KS wife Grenola City, 529/16-124-3-80: Anna Snodgrass 59-F-IL/IN/IN wid.

C. Snodgrass Passed Away After Short Illness--Still Read Easily Without Glasses Up to Time of Death. Mrs. Elizabeth M. (Timmons) Snodgrass, mother of M. C. Snodgrass, superintendent of the Lincoln County Poor Farm, at Clifford, died at the home of her son Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock. She had been ill but a few days with pneumonia. Mrs. Snodgrass was probably the oldest woman in Lincoln county and was in her ninetieth year. Deceased was born in Jasper Co., IN, 18 May 1842, and was 89 years 8 months and 21 days old. On 27 Sep 1864 she was married to George W. Snodgrass at Rensselaer, IN. They came to Kansas in 1880 in a covered wagon from Indiana. Her husband passed away in November, 1911. She came to Lincoln county with her son in Apr 1919 from Little River [vss - Rice Co], Kansas, and located in the Liberty Bell section. Recently the Snodgrass family moved to Hugo and then to Clifford. Her late husband was a Civil War veteran and was in many of the skirmishes of the rebellion. Mrs. Snodgrass enjoyed comparatively good health all her life. She was a member of the Methodist church from early womanhood. She read the Bible thru and only finished reading it a few days before Christmas of last year and this was done without the use of glasses, something very unusual for one so advanced in years. Besides her son, M. C., she is survived by another son, C. S. Snodgrass, Wenatche, Washington, and one brother, W. E. Timmons, Elk Falls, KS; 16 grandchildren, 37 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren. A daughter, Mrs. Ida Kiser died a year ago this month. Two brothers and two sisters are also deceased. Funeral services were conducted from the Jones Mortuary Wednesday Afternoon, Prof. J. C. Unger officiating. Misses Helen Sproul, June Lieber, Lorene Terrell, and Louise Hines sang beautifully with Prof. Dana at the piano. The remains were shipped to Little River, KS, on Wednesday's train for burial. Mr. Snodgrass accompanied the body east. The Plainsman joins with the many friends of the Snodgrass family in extending sympathy to them in the passing of this beloved woman and pioneer citizen. ######################################## LINN COUNTY (formed 1855 as original county) CENSUS RECORDS 1860 census - yes 1880 soundex - yes 1910 miracode - yes 1920 census - yes ************************************ RECORDS 1860 Census Valley Twp., page 44, #317/317 (enumerated 10 Jul): Chas.

W. H. Snodgrass was born March 9, 1857, and came to Kansas in 1870 from Allen County, Ohio. His father was Thomas J. Snodgrass who was born in Ohio, and married Mary E. Horr in 1858. They had eight children, three boys and five girls. W. H. is the only one of the boys living. [vss - actually Tho. & Mary m. 1854] His sisters are: Ella Horr of Kansas City, Kansas; N. A. Weiniaski, San Francisco, California; Emma Hull, Worcester, Massachusetts; and Jessie Dawson, Evansville, Indiana. His brother, Robert was killed in the war of the rebellion. [vss - actually it was W. H.'s uncle Robert (brother of Thomas J.) who was killed in Civil War, d. 1864, Resaca GA] W. H. Snodgrass' father had five children: Alexander, Thomas, James, William and Robert. [vss - actually should say "W. H. Snodgrass' grandfather had five sons ..." See Allen Co. OH; Thomas J. is son of Robert Snodgrass who d. 1848 Allen Co OH] James moved to Missouri in 1868, then to Tennessee in 1875. Four of the five brothers enlisted in the Federal army, but Alexander did not go. W. H. Snodgrass was married to Katie Walch, March 1, 1886. They have three children in their family. The first, a girl, died in infancy. The boys are: Thomas William, born January 31 1890, and passed away February 23, 1922; Howard H., born April 6, 1900, and now living in Omaha, Nebraska. vss - end S. C. Scott excerpt] [vss - from "A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans" , written and compiled by William E. Connelley (1918) ROBERT S. SHOPE is superintendent of the city schools of Bigelow, Kansas. While not a native of the state, his life has been spent largely within the borders of Kansas, and he is a product of its schools and his work has been chiefly as a teacher. He belongs to the colonial branch of the Shope family, which originally came out of Germany. His grandfather, William Shope, spent his life in Kentucky, and was a carpenter by trade. His father is David W. Shope, for many years a resident of Marshall County, Kansas. He was born in Kentucky in 1867 and came to Kansas in 1887, locating at Barrett in Marshall County. He has been a resident of Kansas ever since with the exception of six years spent in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma. His present home is eight miles south of Frankfort. David W. Shope is a democrat in politics He married Elizabeth Snodgrass, who was born in Iowa. Robert S. Shope is the oldest of their children. Bertha is the wife of Seth Mosher, a farmer living nine miles north of Bigelow, Kansas. Cecil died at the age of two years. Beda married William Schreiner, a farmer eight miles south of Frankfort. Velma died at the age of sixteen months. Otis, Wilma, David and Howard, the youngest children, are all living with their parents. Mr. Robert S. Shope was born while his parents lived in Oklahoma at the Town of Hennessey, January 29, 1891. However, his first recollections are of the Marshall County farm of his father and while growing up in that locality he attended rural schools. In 1909, at the age of eighteen, he graduated from the Frankfort High School and the following year taught in Marshall County. For two years he was a student in the University of Kansas, and then farmed another year. Mr. Shope resumed teaching in the rural district of Marshall County in the fall of 1913 and in 1915 entered upon his duties as superintendent of the schools of Bigelow. He is an active member of the Marshall County Teachers Association, is a democrat, and is affiliated with Bigelow Lodge No. 617 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. In 1915, at Marysville, Kansas, Mr. Shope married Miss Lyla Wager, daughter of O. H. and Blanche (Fairchild) Wager. Her parents live on a farm five miles north of Bigelow. Mr. and Mrs. Shope have two children: Robert, born March 22, 1916; and Oliver, born May 8, 1917. ] ############################################################## MEADE COUNTY (formed 1885 from unorganized territory) [vss - from Meade Co Marriages Atknis Charles D., m.

PLUMMER, former county clerk of Pottawatomie County, is secretary, treasurer and manager of the Westmoreland Mercantile Company, the largest general merchandise house in business at the county seat. Mr. Plummer started life with an earnest purpose, and has steadily kept that in view and by industry and honorable dealings has attained a position where he is recognized as one of the leading men of his home county. He is a native of Pottawatomie County, having been born near the present Village of Flush, then, known as Myers Valley, on January 7, 1875. He is of old American stock, the Plummers having come from England and settled in Virginia in Colonial times. His father Hezekiah Plummer was one of the early settlers in Pottawatomie County. He was born near Chillicothe, Ohio, in February, 1826, and when a boy entered upon an apprenticeship at the cooper and wagon making trade. He became a skilled workman. He was reared and married near Chillicothe and from there moved to Indiana. In 1862 he volunteered his services in Company I of the Thirtieth Indiana Infantry, but after six months of service was discharged on account of disability. He then went back to Chillicothe, Ohio, and lived there until 1868, which was the date of his coming to Pottawatomie County. He took up a homestead, developed it as a farm, and sold out in 1878 and removed to Morris County, where he bought a new farm. He was a successful farmer and finally retired into Council Grove in 1887, where he died in January, 1899. Hezekiah Plummer was a republican and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was almost a constant student of the Bible and few excelled him in thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. As an old soldier he was a member of Council Grove Post No. 7 of the Grand Army of the Republic. The maiden name of his wife was Elizabeth Culver. She was born near Bainbridge, Indiana, in April, 1833, and died at Council Grove, Kansas, in December, 1900. They were the parents of eleven children, four of whom died in infancy. Sylvester is a Texas farmer and stock raiser. William has a farm in Oklahoma. Alice, who died in California in 1912, first married Swen Johnson, a farmer, and her second husband, N. E. Howe, a farmer, is still living in California. Clara is the wife of M. S. Snodgrass, a farmer living near Diamond Springs in Chase County, Kansas. George is also a Chase County farmer. The sixth in age is Warren S. Elva is the wife of M. L. Barr, of Westmoreland, who for ten years dignified the office of Probate Judge of Pottawatomie County, and is now in the insurance and real estate business. Warren S. Plummer was three years old when his parents removed to Morris County and he grew up on his father's farm there, completing the eighth grade in the country school. When about twenty years of age he left school and began clerking in stores at Council Grove and also at Onaga. At the same time he took a keen interest in local affairs, and being a popular citizen he was elected in 1910 to the office of county clerk. He filled that office six years, three terms, and at the beginning of his official term he removed to the county seat of Westmoreland. On retiring from office in 1916 Mr. Plummer became manager of the Westmoreland Mercantile Company, a large and prosperous concern whose store is located on Main Street. It is an incorporated company with the following officers: S. R. Toothaker, president; Herman Zabel, vice president; and W. S. Plummer, secretary, treasurer and manager. Mr. Plummer is a republican. He is the present city treasurer of Westmoreland. He is affiliated with Westmoreland Lodge No. 257, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, and Topeka Consistory No. 1 of the Scottish Rite, is a member and treasurer of Westmoreland Lodge No. 252, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and a member of Onaga Camp No. 3917 of the Modern Woodmen of America. Mr. Plummer owns a good home at Westmoreland where he has surrounded his family with every comfort. On January 17, 1906, at Onaga, he married Miss Mary Olive Middleton, daughter of John and Eliza (Kime) Middleton. Her mother is still living at Onaga and her father died there a retired farmer. Mr. and Mrs. Plummer have two children: Arland C., born September 17, 1906; and Elizabeth, born February 17, 1915. ] -------------------------------- 1920 Morris Co KS Census Council Grove. 538/33-89-8-28: Samuel P.

Richard Worrell; found on internet ... from book "A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans", written and compiled by William E. Connelley (1918) ... ALFRED WORREL. One of the prosperous farmers and stockraisers of Zeandale Township, Riley County, Kansas, is Alfred Worrel, one of the best known residents of this section and a highly esteemed citizen. Mr. Worrel was born in Harrison County, Kentucky, September 24, 1859. His parents were William and Susan (Moore) Worrel, both natives of Kentucky. William Worrel was born in Harrison County, September 12, 1825, and died at his home in Zeandale Township, Riley County, Kansas, July 2, 1901. He was the third eldest in a family of ten children born to his parents, Richard and Jane (Snodgrass) Worrel, both of whom were born and reared in Harrison County, Kentucky. They were married there and remained until 1840, when they moved to Hendricks County, Indiana, where the wife of Richard Worrel died in 1870. Richard Worrel subsequently came to Kansas and died at the home of his son William, in 1885. William Worrel was fifteen years of age when he accompanied his parents to Indiana and remained there until he was twenty-one and then returned to Kentucky and resided there for the next thirty years. In March, 1870, on the death of his mother he returned to Indiana, immediately afterward coming to Kansas and taking up his abode in what is now Zeandale Township, Riley County. In due time, through prudence and industry, he became the owner of 1,700 acres of land. He devoted himself entirely to agricultural pursuits after coming to Kansas but back in Kentucky, for several years and including the Civil war period, he was the operator of a grist, flour and saw mill. Instead of abandoning his mill to enlist in the Union army, where his sympathies were, he continued to operate his mill in order to provide food for the families of soldiers taken by the war. He was drafted however, but provided a substitute and continued his milling business, proving himself a man of judgment and of benevolence. In Harrison County William Worrel and Susan Moore were united in marriage. She was born in Bracken County, Kentucky, November 2; 1835, and died at her home in Riley County, Kansas, July 6, 1886. Unto this marriage five children were born: Richard, Alfred, Sallie, Alice and Charles. Alfred Worrel was in his eleventh year when his parents came to Zeandale Township, Riley County, and here he has made his home ever since, farming and stockraising being his business. He obtained but limited schooling but a man who has been able to cope successfully with agricultural problems, who has known how to safeguard the fertility of his land, to increase the yields of crops and the production of livestock, may be said to have lost little by not having early book knowledge and that lack in Mr. Worrel's case, has long since been overcome by reading and association with other intelligent men. He owns 480 acres of some of the best cultivated and most valuable land in his township. He served as a member of the township school board for twenty-four years and was township trustee for seven years, honesty and efficiency marking the performance of every public duty. He has resided on his present farm since 1885. Politically he is an independent democrat. Mr. Worrel was married April 22, 1882, to Miss Ella Lee, who was born at Binghamton, New York, September 30, 1862. Her parents were John and Hannah (Pendergast) Lee. John Lee was born in Ireland in 1836 and died in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, in 1907. His parents were James and Catherine Lee. He came to America in 1848 and while living in New York City served an apprenticeship to the bridge-building trade, at which he was employed during the Civil war by the Union army. He came to Kansas in 1869 and settled in Riley County, removing subsequently to Pottawatomie County. In 1854 he was married to Hannah, daughter of John and Margaret (Conway) Pendergast, of Irish lineage but Mrs. Pendergast was born in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Lee had ten children: James, Catherine, Margaret, Ella, John, Mary A., Rosanna, Charles, William and Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Worrel have six children: Charles, who is a resident of Kansas City, Missouri; Phoeba, who is Mrs. Charles Teel, of Zeandale Township, William J., who is a farmer in this township; Katy, who is the wife of Samuel Moon, of Dayton, Ohio; Lillian, who is the wife of G. E. McCormick, of Riley County; and Albert H., who is a farmer in Zeandale Township. ] ######################################################## ROOKS COUNTY (formed 1867 from Kirwin Land District) ####################################################### RUSH COUNTY (formed 1867 from unorganized territory) CENSUS RECORDS 1900 census - yes 1910 miracode - yes 1920 census - yes PERIODICALS The Treesearcher, vol. 18, 20, 23 - yes ************************************* RECORDS 18 Jan 1891 -- Emma Snodgrass, 25, married J.

Ladd, Republican Sheriff, was born in Highland Co., OH, 3 May 1841. He served with Co. A, 48th Ohio Infantry, rising quickly to the rank of Captain, was wounded at Shiloh, captured and finally exchanged 23 Oct 1864. He came to Wilson Co. in Mar 1867, settling in Chetopa Twp. He was elected sheriff in Nov 1869 and re-elected, holding two terms. Over in Guilford Twp., Oct 1872, a man by the name of Snodgrass was reported to have beaten his wife most cruelly. He was coarse, surly and brutal and was a drunkard. He was described in the Jail Calendar, Sheriff's Office Book as being 5'8", fair with black hair and blue eyes. Snodgrass was arrested by A. G. Lowman, the township constable. A. Gilmore Lowman, who had settled at Guilford in 1869, was a bachelor. He ran a hack from Humboldt to Fredonia in 1870 and in 1870-71 drove a hack from Guilford to Neodesha. Lowman was well-liked by most everyone. Lowman took Snodgrass to Altoona and there the constable placed Snodgrass in an unoccupied store building. Snodgrass's hands were tied for some time, and Lowman, a kind, generous man, untied the lawbreaker's hands. In the room were the weights of a pair of grocer's scales, which Snodgrass got in his possession. He hurled the heaviest one at Lowman with such force that the Constable, being struck on the head, was knocked senseless. Snodgrass escaped to Neodesha, where he stayed a day and a night, intoxicated, and slept in Phillips and Klinger's livery stable. Doctors Craig of Guilford and Willits of Fredonia were called to Altoona to attend Lowman's injuries. The young constable's skull had been shattered, and the doctors performed the operation called trephining. A trephine was a type of small crown saw used in surgery to remove circular discs of bones from the skull. Craig and Willits removed about 1-1/2" square of bone from Lowman's skull. Snodgrass was arrested on suspicion in Independence by the Montgomery County Sheriff, and Captain B. W. Ladd, Wilson County Sheriff, brought him to Fredonia to the county jail. Marshal A. Gilmore Lowman died 29 Oct 1872. Snodgrass was bound over to the next term of District Court at a preliminary trial held 17 Nov 1872 before Squire W. A. Peffer. His bond was set at $5,000. Chase and Sweney were the prosecuting attorneys, and Miller and Russell were for the defense. Although jail breaks were common in those days, the one which Snodgrass successfully performed surely was an unusual one. The county jail at that time was divided by means of iron bars placed six inches apart in two compartments. The space back of the grating were the cells, and the other part of the jail was used for other purposes and contained a stove. Snodgrass on Sunday night, Nov 18, or Monday morning, Nov 19 (the exact time is uncertain), picked the lock of the partition door, and thus being able to get to the stove, took fire therefrom and burned a hole in the roof, the aperture large enough for him to escape. Monday night, Sheriff B. W. Ladd and deputy H. C. Barrett, accompanied by R. T. Taylor, Altoona, widened their search and arrived in Neodesha in hot haste after Snodgrass. They stayed only long enough to eat and feed their horses, then rode on south toward Independence. Apparently Snodgrass made good his escape, for following accounts do not record his capture. The authorities thought at the time he would head south to Indian Territory and on to Texas. Captain Benjamin W. Ladd's history appears in the 1902 Wilson Co. history. (written by Lela J.
