Sniper, Gustavus, Colonel 185th NY Inf, Salina, 955
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mstone/sniper-g.html
General Gustavus Sniper was born 11 June 1836 near Frieberg in Baden, Germany, and to Syracuse when he was three. He attended the public schools and also night school. In 1850 he learned cigar-making in George Hier’s firm. In 1856 he formed a partnership with Nicholas Grumbach (Grumbach and Sniper), engaging in the manufacture of cigars at North Salina and Union Streets, which was continued for a time after the cessation of hostilities. In 1854 he joined the ranks of the Syracuse Light Guards and later also joined the Syracuse Grays and the Davis Light Guards. In 1859-1860 he organized a company, the Monroe Cadets, and served as their captain until the war broke out. Grumbach, coincidentally had presented his petition for the degrees in Masonry on 3 Oct 1861, with Bro. Sniper being Raised on 2 Jan 1862.
Through his study of military texts and his preparation in the militia service, he was qualified to perform extraordinary services during the war, namely in the 101st and the 185th Regiments. Following the was, he was Commander of the Civil War Veterans Association. He also played an outstanding role in politics. In 1870 he was elected to the State Legislature and served three terms there. In 1876 he was appointed Deputy County Clerk and rose to County Clerk in 1882 where he served for nine years, and then became a Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue. He married in 1863 the former Miss Katharina Miller. His later years were occupied in insurance, with an office in the Wieting Block, and he remained active in the affairs on the North Side until his death on 29 March 1894, survived by his widow and two children, Lavina C. E. Sniper and Gustav Sniper.
Bro. Sniper was perhaps our most distinguished brother serving in the War of the Rebellion. When the 185th Regiment was mustered into service on 23 Sep 1864, he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel. Their principal movements were:
Sep 1864 Petersburg
Oct 1864 South Side Railroad
7-11 Dec 1864 Weldon Railroad
5-7 Feb 1865 Hatcher’s Run
29 Mar 1865 Quaker Road
9 Apr 1865 Pursuit of Lee to Appomattox
3 Jun 1865 Return to Syracuse
