General Notes: Husband - Jacob Stouffer Snively

---

At sixteen years of age he began managing the family homestead for his mother, and carried it on until he was twenty-five years of age; then, having neglected his education somewhat, he became a student at Millersville State Normal School, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. After remaining there some time his duties again called him home to attend to the farm. Subsequently he, with the idea of locating, traveled through the west for some eight months, but finally returned home. He was married soon afterward, and May 1, 1877, entered into a partnership to do a general commission business at Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and in the summer of 1878, having bought out his partner's interests, the firm of J. Stouffer Snively & Co. was established with W. G. Davison as a partner. Mr. Snively lived on a farm one mile and a half from Greencastle, which he conducted, while retaining his interest in the commission business.
His family attended the services of the New Mennonite Church. In politics he was a Republican.
