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.

Valarie Lane below is obit, also provided by Valarie] Another Pioneer Woman Dies Tuesday evening, January 3, 1939, marked the close of the earthly life of Mrs. Elmira Lavasseur, "Aunt Mige," as she was known to many relatives and friends. For the past seven months she had made her home with the N. B. Moore family. Mrs. Moore was her niece. Funeral services were held at the Smith River church on Thursday afternoon January 5, with Rev. Paul Roper of Brookings officiating and Mrs. Mark Wood as soloist. Pall bearers were Vernon Hanscam, Melvin Fitzhugh, Walter Edwardson, Eric Olsen, Oscar Olsen and Archie McVay. Interment was in the Smith River cemetery. Elmira Snodgrass Lavasseur was born February 20, 1853, in the state of Illinois. At the age of seven she crossed the plains with her family who settled in the Smith River valley in northern California. Since then, with the exception of a few years spent in the states of Washington and Montana, she had lived in the southern Curry and northern Del Norte counties locality. In early womanhood she married Peter Costelloe. To them were born four children, Edmund, Eva, Revis and Ruby. Only one, Mrs. Ruby Youngson, now in Texas, survived the mother. Other survivors include a step-son, Lester Lucas of Harbor, eleven grand-children and a sister, Mrs. Eva Smith of Grants Pass. In 1915 she married Paul Lavasseur who died in 1936. Several years ago Mrs. Lavasseur embraced the Adventist faith and her religion was the source of great comfort to her. Ever of a cheerful disposition, her staunch pioneer spirit stayed with her to the last and leaves happy memories to those who knew and loved her. --------------------- [vss - from Curry Co Bios] OSTRANDER, John W.; Scio, Linn Co., OR 2 Aug 1872 > Curry Co., OR 28 Jun 1894; m.
