General Notes: Husband - William B. Snodgrass

---

He was educated in the common schools, at Elder Ridge academy and also attended school at Greensburg and in Lancaster. After leaving school he became superintendent of construction on North branch of the Pennsylvania canal for which his father had the contract. Two years later he served in the same capacity on the New Portage railroad across the Allegheny mountains. In 1856 he went to Dubuque, Iowa, and spent some years in railroad work, after which he returned to one of his father's farms. In 1875 he was nominated by the Democratic party for register and recorder, was elected in November and entered upon the duties of the office in January, 1876. His term having expired, he in the spring of 1879 moved back to his farm in Derry township and thereafter devoted his attention to agriculture. He served as school director for more than fifteen years.
