General Notes: Husband - George B. Snively

---

He was reared to the life of a farmer, in the meantime receiving the advantages of the schools in his native place, and subsequently two years' attendance at the Mercersburg Institute. October 12, 1862, he enlisted on the Union side in the war of the Rebellion, in Company G, Seventeenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry, and was mustered into the United States service at Harrisburg in November of that same year. The regiment was soon ordered to Opequon Creek, Virginia, on active duty. Mr. Snively subsequently participated in the following battles: Opequon Creek, December 19, 1862; Beverly Ford, June 9, 1863; Upperville, June 21, 1863, where he had a horse killed under him; Gettysburg (and there had another horse killed under him), where he was detailed as mounted orderly at headquarters First Division, remaining as such to the end of service; Culpeper, where he had a horse wounded under him; Raccoon Ford; Brandy Station, where he also had a horse wounded under him; Oak Hill; Wilderness, May 8, 1864, where a bullet passed through his clothes; Glenallen Station, Meadow Bridge, Old Church Tavern, Cold Harbor, Whitehouse Landing, Newtown, Deep Bottom, Berryville (Virginia), Keasysville, Smithfield, Williams Grove Mills, and Winchester (another horse killed under him), and was also present at the surrender of Gen. Lee. He was mustered out in October, 1865, at Louisville, Kentucky, and returned to his home in Antrim Township.

He married and commenced keeping house the same year on his father's farm, operating the place one year, when he removed to Nodaway County, Missouri, and farmed two years, then returned to Antrim township, where he resided thereafter, farming 175 acres of the homestead of his father.
He was a charter member of the G. A. R., Post 438, or Corporal Rihl Post, and was its quartermaster. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church; in politics a Republican.
