[17906] NEMAHA COUNTY HERALD, Friday, February 27, 1931 RENEW VOWS SPOKEN HALF CENTURY AGO MR. AND MRS. T. E. SNODGRASS WED FIFTY YEARS Celebration of Golden Wedding Was Held at Rural Home Tuesday, February 24--Bride and Groom Member of Pioneer Families of the County. --- --------- The celebration of the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Snodgrass at their rural home two miles north of Brock on Tuesday, February 24, was a very happy event. Mr. Snodgrass is the oldest of a family of five sons and five daughters born to John and Elizabeth Snodgrass. In 1872, at the age of 18 years, he came by wagon with his parents from Ohio and settled on a farm two and one-half miles southeast of Johnson. These sturdy pioneers were active in the religious life of the community and were charter members of the Missionary Baptist church started in the old rural school house on the hill east of the intersection lines just east of Johnson. Mrs. Snodgrass was one of the seven children of Phillip and Mary Starr, who were among the first pioneers of the county, coming from Illinois in 1855 and settling on a farm two miles north of Brock. They came in four covered wagons and pitched their tents every night for camping. Their family Bible was read as part of their evening devotions. For several years religious services were held in their home and later in the first Lafayette school house. This was the beginning of the Brock M.E. church. Both these families bore the burdens of pioneer life through the development of the country, the hardship of grasshopper times, low prices and long distance to market, taking an active part in civic and religious development. Thomas E. Snodgrass and Emma Starr were married February 24, 1881, at her parents' home, Rev. Ansel Brown, a Methodist minister officiating. There was ten feet of snow and a real blizzard that day. During the first years of their married life they lived on the Starr farm and next on a farm now occupied by H.A. Aldrich. In 1883 they brought a farm two and one-half miles northwest of Johnson where they lived (except for a short residence in northwestern Kansas) until 1908, when they bought their present farm. Ten children were born to them, all are living except one, who passed away in infancy. The children are Omer L., living on the former Starr farm; Mrs. Elsie Waller, Brock; Mrs. Gertrude A. Harney, Julian; Mrs. Blanche M. Branstitter, Shelby, Iowa; Wilbur, Brock; Miss Esther, Brock; Wayne, Pueblo, Colo.; Floyd, Fort Morgan, Colo., And Roy, Brock. There are 27 grandchildren. These, with their companions and children, were all present except Miss Esther, a teacher at Dillon , Mont., and Mrs. Floyd Snodgrass. Other relatives present were Mrs. Belle Parker, a sister of Mrs. T.E. Snodgrass, Mrs. Mary Starr Smith, Mrs. Nettie Cathcart Bailey, niece of Mrs. Snodgrass, all of Lincoln (the latter two having been present at the wedding in 1881) and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Lash of Auburn, Mrs. Elizabeth Lash, who is the eldest of the three living Starr children. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blake and Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Coryell were unable to be present . The six brothers and sisters of Mr. Snodgrass, Mrs. Laura Bright, Junction City, Kans; Mrs . Jennie Moren, Goodland, Kans.; Edwin, Benton, Kans.; Mrs. Edith Heikes, Dallas, Ore.; John , Geneva; and Errol, Cassidy, Kans.; were unable to attend, but sent splendid letters of congratulation. The circle of ten was broken by the death of two sisters, Mrs. Mollie Miller and Mrs. Hannah Burch, and one brother, Price L. The day was ideal, permitting nearly two hundred friends from Johnson, Brock, Auburn, and vicinity and from Lincoln to share in the festivities of this event which happens to so few couples in their journey through life together. The children and their companions had spared no effort in planning this happy event. The gayest group was that of fourteen grandsons and twelve granddaughters, who spent most of their time in games outdoors and having pictures taken. The decorations were novel. In one corner family pictures represent four generations were arrange on either side of a coverlid carded and spun by Mrs. Mary Starr in 1854. Below these were pieces of antique furniture brought to Nebraska by the Starr family, and also the family Bible, nearly one hundred years old. There was also a drawn work stand cover made by Grandmother Elizabeth Snodgrass when she was past 85 years of age and a Bible brought from Jerusalem and presented by L. L. Coryell. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass, like those of their progenitors, has been a Christian home . Mr. Snodgrass was active in farmers' institute work for many years; has served on school boards and was one of the charter members of the Johnson Baptist church cemetery association. He is a lover of horticulture, as well as other branches of agriculture. Mrs. Snodgrass has been a power of influence in the home. This estimable couple were the recipients of many pretty and valuable gifts, letters and cards of congratulation as tokens of the esteem of their children and relatives and the friends among whom they have lived for so many years. The invitations and also the guest book, which was in charge of Mrs. Wilbur Snodgrass, were dainty hand paintings by Miss Stella Rue of Brock. The table decorations included a center piece of sweetheart roses sent by their daughter, Esther. The large angel-food cake, made by Mrs. Omer Snodgrass, was decorated by Miss Stella Rue. The table was lighted by candles. Coffee and cake were served by several of the grandchildren, daughters and daughters-in-law. The out-of -town guests were Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Hahn, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kiechel, Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Moren, Johnson; Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Dirks, Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Lash, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Cathey and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Dirks, Auburn; Mrs. Mary Starr Smith, Mrs. Nettie Bailey, Sylvan Asa, Lincoln, and Mrs. Belle Parker, Denver, Col. It was an occasion long to be remembered and the guests availed themselves of the opportunity to wish the bride and groom of fifty years ago continued happiness and the privilege of celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary.
