George Dixon Snell: The ancestors of this gentleman were English, but his branch of the family has been in America since the year 1665. They were related by marriage to the famous orator Wendell Phillips, and the no less famous poet William Cullen Bryant. Cyrus Snell and his wife Rhoda Barnes were among the first converts to Mormonism in the Province of New Brunswick, where, in the town of Sackville, Westmoreland county, March 18, 1836, their third son, the subject of this sketch, was born. He received a common school education, and as soon as he was well into his "teens" went to work for his father, who was the owner of a woolen mill, purchased many years before from his uncle, Alden Snell. The mill was improved and a prosperous business conducted until the spring of 1853, when the property was sold, as the family was coming to Utah. At Florence she found a company ready to begin the long journey westward but every outfit was loaded. No room for a little girl who had no money to pay her way. Finally, Cyrus Snell listened to the child long enough to realize her desperate predicament. Rhoda, his wife, was ill with a new baby, and if Nicolena would help them with the other little ones, she could ride in their wagon. But as it turned out the riding was reduced to a minimum. The little girl walked with the two Snell boys, somewhere near her own age, nearly the entire distance to Salt Lake City. The journey was replete with incident and adventure. In her memories later she never alluded to it as a hardship, except that she was hourly afraid of Indian attacks. She was after all a child with a child's naturally happy outlook. The inward hurt of leaving her family had by this time partially healed. During the long trek west, the great outdoors, the lure of unaccustomed scenes, and activities, and the knowledge that she was at last on her way to Zion, made the trip almost entirely a glorious adventure. They arrived at their destination in the fall of 1854.
son of Smyardus SNELL and Lucy PHILLIPS.
from HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON, One of the Early English Settlers of Sackville, N(ew) B(runswick) (1891), Compiled by James D. Dixon -- A Grandson, p.69:
Cyrus Snell.....married Rhoda, eldest daughter of John and Hannah Dixon Barnes, in the year 1832. Mr. Snell was engaged in milling at Sackville for a number of years. In 1853 he left Sackville and removed to Wisconsin with his family. They remained a year in Wisconsin and then removed to Spanish Fork, Utah, where they settled. Their children were named, John Wesley, George Dixon, Cryus [[Cyrus]] Alma, Rufus Philips, and William Smyardus. Two others died in infancy. Mr. Snell died at Spanish Fork in 1873, aged 64 years. His death being no doubt hastened from injuries he received a short time previous, when attacked by some roughs in Salt Lake City and robbed of a considerable sum of money. Mrs. Snell still survives and continues to reside at Spanish Fork.
