When but three years of age she moved with her parents to Huntington County, Indiana, where she grew to young womanhood. There also she married John Snider in 1865, who was then a young recently returned Civil War Veteran. They commenced homekeeping on a rented farm near their home town.
In 1866 they removed to Madison County, Iowa, where their two daughters were born. They lived there until September, 1873, when the little family moved to O’Brien County, and were among the first settlers in this county.
Here they purchased their first farm, a quarter section situated about 3 ˝ miles south of Sutherland. By hard labor and thrift and constant care they developed their land into one of the best improved farm homes in the county, having an abundance of fruit trees and shade trees, fine buildings and such things as hard labor and careful planning and doing secures.
