On January 4, 1888, Grandpa married the love of his life, Rebecca Ellen Graves. They soon started a family and on December 22, 1888, their first son, Emmett, was born. Grandpa would tell that after getting married whenever he went into town and met the women on the streets, they would turn and go different directions crying. I guess he broke several hearts back then. Five years later, September 11, 1893, Jewett was born and then Hattie came along April 19, 1896.
According to the History of the Hebron Church, Daddy (Burgess) was born in a little one-room log house that stood off to the side of the Billy Carter Mill that was July 21, 1898. In addition, in this accounting of the Hebron Church, it was written that Elmer Maxwell Linthicum kept John Snow and his sister and that they had also lived in this house.
They later gave birth to two more sons, Frost December 10, 1903 (When he was born his name was "Fross", but later changed to Frost), and Elmer Ice, November 7, 1907.
Their children were not given middle names at birth except for Elmer. Someone gave Grandpa $5.00 in order to name him and so Elmer Ice was what he got, whoever he was, had a sense of humor. The others took initials for whatever reason. Emmett chose "E" Jewett "M", Hattie "F" and Frost "H" for Hail and in some documents Hail is what was used. Daddy did not take one, he never used one on any official documents, but Becky always thought his middle name was Lee, since Roger was named Roger Lee, but there is no evidence of that anywhere.
Grandpa acquired his farm in 1900 according to an article that appeared in The World Telephone Newspaper in 1948. He must have decided to buy the farm after his father, William Snow, died. Joe Stannard told me that Grandpa had lived up on the hill where he lives today. Grandpa had his house back closer to where the spring is. Also at one time, there was a saw mill on the hill that was owned by John Wesley Carter. It was run by a steam engine and one day the steam line got stopped up and caused an explosion. Three men died that day; they were John Wesley Carter, his son, John and another man.
Joe also told me that David Linthicum (Joe Stannard's Great Grandpa) signed a land transfer to John Jackson Snow in 1903, which consist of the land that was the home place. He (grandpa) owned at one time 150 acres in that area which is located in that southwest part of Monroe County. David Linthicum, prior to selling the land to grandpa, owned a steam engine that he would take around the country thrashing wheat for people. While he was gone, grandpa would walk down over the hill at nighttime to make sure that the family was all secured and all the kerosene lamps were out.
David Linthicum also gave the property, which is located behind the farm where Grandpa lived to the people to build a church and have a cemetery for the ones who have died. Consequently it was called the Linthicum church and cemetery. The church burned sometime after 1978.
Grandpa and Grandma lived on this farm until they both died. [The last years of John Snow's life the Burgess Snow family lived there with him, after Rebecca died, seeing after his needs.] They raised chickens and cows. We have a picture of our grandmother milking & feeding chickens.
