The father, John

in 1802; he served as a Captain
in the war of 1812. Our subject was raised on a farm, and received instruction
in the district schools of the vicinity. Early in life, he learned the carpenter
trade, at which he worked from 1839 until 1864. On the 24th of August, 1848,
Mr. Snook was united in marriage with Elizabeth, daughter
of William and Nancy (Reed) Thompson,
of English descent. The parents were born in 1807 and 1812 respectively.
The wife of our subject was born in Warren Co., Ohio, Feb. 1, 1828. To this
couple have been born the following children: William,
born Oct. 21, 1849; Morris K., born June 19, 1852; Millard
Fillmore, born Sept. 25, 1855; and Grant, born
April 1, 1866. Mr. Snook has in his possession a broadax,
used by his grandfather in the State of New Jersey; this, as an "heir-loom,"
is prized highly by him. He is a good citizen, and a gentleman in every
respect. Is a Republican in politics, and a member of the Universalist Church.
