DR. FREDRICK M. SNOOK – WELL KNOWN WAVERLY DENTIST WHO EXPIRED AFTER AN ILLNESS OF A FEW HOURS. Waverly, NY, Feb. 8 (ca 1908) —Dr. Frederick M. Snook died at his home on Pennsylvania Avenue at about 1 o’clock on Wednesday morning, aged sixty-nine years. His demise was very sudden. Dr. Snook and family had entertained some friends during the evening, and at a late hour the party dispersed, leaving their host and hostess apparently in the best of spirits. A little later Dr. Snook complained of a pain in the region of the heart, and Dr. William E. Johnson, the family physician, was summoned, but death ensued at the hour stated. Dr. Snook was a native of Tompkins county. His parents removed to Spencer, NY, when he was a boy. He enlisted in company I 109th Regiment New York State volunteers, and served with commendable valor throughout the rebellion. At the close of the war he returned to Spencer, and shortly afterwards came to Waverly and engaged in the profession of dentistry, which he practiced continuously up to the time of his death. He was an enthusiastic volunteer fireman, being the first president of Gioga Hose company, upon its organization. He was a member of Waverly lodge, No. 407, F&AM. He was at one time a deputy collector of internal revenue for this district, and was once appointed postmaster, but did not serve. He was also engaged for a number of years with O. E. Hart, now in the post-office department at Washington, in the fire and life insurance business, the firm name being Snook & Hart. Besides his widow, he is survived by two sons, Dr. Fred Snook, of Pittsburg, and Dr. Theodore P. Snook, of Waverly; and two daughters, Miss Dorelle E. Snook, now teaching in Portland, Ore., and Mrs. Harold L. Lindsay of Waverly. Funeral services were held from his late residence at 3 o’clock Friday afternoon, the Rev. Charles T. Raynor, rector of Grace Episcopal church officiating. As a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, all business places were closed during the hours of 3 and 4 p.m. Interment was made in Forrest Home cemetery, and the remains were committed to the earth with Masonic honors.

SNOW, ARCH R. (sic), was born in Boonville, 30 Jan 1841. His father, S. E. Snow, was also born here 1 Jan 1809, and is to-day the oldest inhabitant of local birth. Mr. Snow's paternal ancestors were from Massachusetts, and he was an active participant in not less than twenty battles in the Civil war. He first enlisted in 1861, in Co. I, 97th Regt., was soon promoted to corporal, then to first sergeant, then to lieutenant, and in 1865 received commission as captain. He was disabled by a shot in the face (chin) at Gettysburg, and was captured while acting as aid-de-camp at Weldon Railroad in 1864, remaining a prisoner of war at Libby, Salisbury, and Danville prisons for six months. Mr. Snow is now a dealer in boots and shoes at Boonville, and in 1881 he married Jennie Muller, by whom he has two children: Archibald and Martha. He was the charter commander of Wheelock Post, No. 97, G. A. R., and is of high rank and degree in the Masonic fraternity. He has had a varied experience beyond the lot of most men of his age. We quote the following from a short biographical sketch in the Grand Army Journal: "For many years, under the stage name of A. A. Armstrong, he acted in the best theatres of the United States, Canada, and the British West Indies, and as a dialect actor, personator of quaint character parts, and high class vocalist, obtained an enviable reputation." During the past three years he has taken a prominent place among monologue entertainers, and as a humorist, sensational reciter, and descriptive vocalist, ranks with the best. His fun is infectious, and the moral tone of his entertainments is high and pure. His "Random Recollections of the Field and Camp fire," in Grand Army entertainments have been a great success, and of late there has been a growing demand for his services at church society entertainments. He also contributes much valuable historical material to the local press, and an occasional war-story from his pen finds ready sale. Final Report on the Battlefield of Gettysburg, by NY State Monuments Commission for the Battlefields of Gettysburg, page 24. http://books.google.com/books?id=w-gLAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24&dq=%22arch+b.+snow%22&source=web&ots=fCC9RGh8sU&sig=MVfwWsjwFI5Pp6f2lxBqn4EljfE&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result page 24. A tablet, erected at the Lutheran Church, in memory of Chaplain Howell, states that he was "cruelly shot," a phrase liable to create a wrong impression as to the facts. An eye witness of the affair, Capt. Arch. B. Snow, of Boonville, NY, gives in a recent letter the following version of the shooting: Snow was then a sergeant in the Ninety-seventh New York, and knew Chaplain Howell by sight, as both belonged to the same brigade. Snow was shot through the jaw, and went to the Lutheran Church Hospital, where his wound was dressed. He then started to leave the hospital, and passed through the front door of the church just behind Chaplain Howell, at the time when the advance skirmishers of the Confederates were coming up the street on a run. Howell, in addition to his shoulder straps and uniform, wore the straight dress sword prescribed in Army Regulations for chaplains, but which was very seldom worn by them. The first skirmisher arrived at the foot of the church steps just as the chaplain and Snow came out. Placing one foot on the first step the soldier called on the chaplain to surrender; but Howell, instead of throwing up his hands promptly and uttering the usual, "I surrender," attempted some dignified explanation to the effect that he was a non-combatant, and as such was exempt from capture, when a shot from the skirmisher's rifle ended the controversy. A Confederate lieutenant, who came up at this time, placed a guard at the church door, and, to the protests of the surgeons against shooting a chaplain, replied that the dead officer was armed, in proof of which he pointed to the chaplain's sash, and light, rapier like sword belted around the chaplain's body. The man who fired the shot stood on the exact spot where the memorial tablet has since been erected, and Chaplain Howell fell upon the landing at the top of the steps.

Mrs. Nellie (Nellie Anna Thompson) Southworth, 99, teacher, church leader, past postmaster and oldest citizen of Schuyler Lake, died January 2, 1958, in Clark Nursing Home, Richfield Springs. She had been a patient there less than a week. She was born November 5, 1858, in the home now owned by Gordon Cushman, Schuyler Lake, the daughter of Charles F. and Cordelia Palmer Thompson. She was a teacher in the valley before her marriage to Civil War veteran William Southworth in 1892. He died about 25 years ago. Mrs. Southworth gave up a teaching career to become a housewife and mother to six stepchildren. The devotion of the Southworth grandchildren and great-grandchildren is testimony to her success in this role.

Spicer, a well known and eminently worthy citizen, died at 8:45 o'clock Saturday [19th] evening, aged seventy-two years. He was born in Ticonderoga, and had lived in Glens Falls for forty-five years. He served in the war of the rebellion; was a personal friend of General Sheridan, and one of the few persons, outside of the officers directly involved, to witness the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. He was actively interested in the local fire department in early days; and was at one time an officer of Old Defiance Engine company. He was prominent in Masonic circles, at first as a member of Glens Falls lodge, of which he was master for several terms, and recently of Senate lodge. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and one of the official board for several years. Genial and companionable, an entertaining conversationalist and sympathetic counselor, he made many warm friends. As husband and father, he was the embodiment of kindness, always manifesting an earnest solicitude for the welfare of the members of his household. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and two sons-- Miss Adelaide Spicer, of Glens Falls; Mrs. William H. Parker, of Hartford, Conn.; Porter Spicer of Ticonderoga, and Harvey D. Spicer of Port Henry. The funeral was conducted from the house on Ridge street with Masonic honors at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon.-- Glens Falls Morning Star. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jmf2&id=I21707 Hiram D.

Enrolled at Preston, NY, Age 25; Assemblyman; Lodge Master 1887-89 http://www.anyheart.org/oxford/history.html Samuel S. STAFFORD was born in Preston, NY, 8 Jun 1837. He read law with Solomon BUNDY and was admitted in May 1867, when he commenced practice in Oxford, where he has since continued. Previous to commencing the study of law he spent ten terms in the Oxford Academy, closing in Jun 1862. He entered the army as First Lieutenant of Co. A., 114th Regiment, and was wounded in the leg in a reconnaissance during the siege of Port Hudson, on 11 Jun 1863, from the effects of which he was discharged 8 Jul 1863. He was a Member of Assembly from this county in 1865; was School Commissioner of the 2nd District of Chenango county in 1867-69; was Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue one year; for nine years preceding May 1879, village Treasurer; and served the seventh year as Loan Commissioner. From the Annals of Oxford: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nychenan/annals11.htm Samuel S. Stafford passed away 4 May 1904, after an illness of ten days. The direct cause of his death was from a wound received in the service of his country during the Civil war. At the age of twenty years Mr. Stafford entered Oxford Academy to prepare for a college education, in the meantime teaching four terms of district school. At the call of President LINCOLN, July 2, 1862, for three hundred thousand men, the 114th Regiment of volunteers was formed. Major O. H. CURTIS, then a young lawyer in Oxford, enlisted Company A, which Mr. Stafford joined 23 Jul 1862, and assisted in recruiting. Volunteering his services in defense of his country caused the abandonment of his cherished plans for a collegiate education. Upon recommendation he was commissioned a First Lieutenant, with rank from 6 Aug 1862, and was presented with a handsome sword, sash and belt by the officers and men of Co. A. He served with his regiment until 11 Mar 1863, when he was detailed a member of a General Court Martial sitting at Brashear City, Louisiana. The court was in session one month, after which Lieutenant Stafford joined his regiment, and participated in the battle of Fort Bisland, the skirmish at Franklin and the siege of Port Hudson. It was at Port Hudson, 11 Jul 1863, while bravely leading his men on the assault of the enemy's breast works that he received the wound that eventually caused his death. He was sent home to recuperate, and for ten months was confined to his bed, and 8 Jul 1864, was honorably discharged from the service on "account of wound received in action." While recovering from his wound Mr. Stafford was tendered the nomination for Member of Assembly by the Republican party, an office he had not sought and was ignorant of the fact that he was to be thus honored. He accepted the nomination, was elected and went to Albany on crutches, serving in the Legislature of 1865. On his return from the Assembly he studied law with Solomon BUNDY, was admitted to practice and elected to the office of School Commissioner for the second district of the county, and later appointed one of its Loan Commissioners, an office he held for several terms. He was Supervisor of the town for three years, 1886 to 1888, and for many years corporation attorney for the village. To all elective offices he received nearly the unanimous vote of his party and many votes from the opposing party, so well was the trust in his integrity and honor established. Conscientious and painstaking in the discharge of one public duty he was so in the many entrusted to him, and has left a clean and bright record. As a lawyer his office work was perfect, and as a counselor he was a model, for no opinions were given without mature deliberation and in belief that they were for the best interest of the client, though they might contrary to his expectations. Mr. Stafford was a Past Master of Oxford Lodge, No. 175, F. & A. M.; had served one term as District Deputy Grand Master of the Masonic district; was Past Commander of Breed Post, No. 196, G. A. R., and secretary of the 114th Regimental Association. To these organizations he was devoted and gave much attention and counsel. With Major CURTIS he did much to keep up the regimental reunions and perpetuate the regiment's glorious achievements. He was a communicant of St. Paul's church, and at his death a member of the vestry. Mr. Stafford was the eldest son of Job and Wealthy Stafford, and was born 8 Jun 1837, in Preston, NY. He married 12 Dec 1866, Mary A. GILBERT of Oxford. Stafford, Spencer H., (Col.) U. S. С.

He was born in Utica and his boyhood was passed in Albany; was graduated at Williams College; studied law in Union, and pursued his profession in Oneida and New York city, where he was established in successful practice at the outbreak of the civil war. He volunteered and was made major, lieutenant-colonel and colonel. On the surrender of New Orleans, 1862. He became provost marshal under General Butler, and was assigned the painful task of hanging Mumford for taking the Union flag from the United States Mint. http://books.google.com/books?id=N-HTEorQoD0C&pg=RA3-PA12&dq=%22Spencer+H.+stafford%22#PRA3-PA86,M1 page 86.

Stoddard, Leonard, x, Groton, 496 Stoddard, David Curtis, Co E 2nd NY Heavy Artillery, Utica, 47 (photo) > DAVID CURTIS STODDARD The first of the Stoddard family in America was John Stoddard, who appears on record as a landowner in Westfield, Conn., as early as June 18, 1645. Two years before this he had married Mary, daughter of Nathaniel Foote. Their descendants became conspicuous in the civil and commercial life of New England, and for generations were acknowledged leaders in the affairs of their communities. From them descended Aaron Stoddard, the great-grandfather of David C. who was born July 15, 1739. He enlisted in Capt. Bezaleel Beebe’s company from Litchfield, Conn. And served in the Revolutionary war until his death on January 12, 1777. His only son, David Stoddard, was born in Litchfield, November 13, 1773, was married in 1793 to Dorcas Kent, and in 1803 moved to De Ruyter (now Otselic) Chenango county, N. Y., where he engaged in farming and also in buying and driving cattle. Dorcas, the wife of David, died in Otselic October 11, 1830, while his death occurred in Groton, N. Y., and May 5, 1848. Their son, David D. Stoddard, was born in Litchfield, Conn., October 1, 1795, and was married in Otselic, N. Y., on October 19, 1826, to Mary Salome Warner, who was born in Ballston Springs, N. Y., on August 15, 1795. David D. Stoddard was originally a Whig in politics, but very early became an active abolitionist, and in 1840 cast the only vote of that party in his town. In November, 1859, he moved to Mazeppa, Minn., where he died June 1, 1870. His wife died there in 1878. Their children were William Harmon born September 12, 1824, deceased; Albion born February 14, 1826, of South Shore, S. Dak.; Eliza Ann born October 29, 1827, died in 1892; Salome Jane born July 13, 1829, of Mazeppa, Minn; David Curtis, the subject of this sketch; Lyman born January 19, 1833, killed in the army December 28, 1862; Mary Caroline (Mrs. Charles Duncan) Born October 17, 1834, deceased; Emily born June 8, 1838, died January 7, 1854; and Charlotte born August 18, 1843, died August 21, 1849. David Curtis Stoddard was born August 3, 1831, in the town of Otselie, Chenango county, NY, upon a farm his father had subdued from the primeval forest, and which was surrounded in part by the same unbroken wilderness. It was a rough, hilly, stony county- hard to clear of timber and hard to cultivate afterwards- producing not bountifully in the best seasons, and very scantily often, with long cold and severe winters in which was consumed all the product of the summer. Educational facilities were very scant in quantity and quality; the school house was half built and poorly furnished; seats were made of slabs or planks, unplanned and without backs; the stove or fireplace was supplied with wood, green and just cut and hauled from the forest; which the fire refused to feed upon, but the well-seasoned and oft used rod of the master often supplied the heat the fire should have made. It was under these circumstances that he received what education this school could give; but when grown to a young man he added to this three or four terms at select or private schools, with two terms in an academy, so that at nineteen years of age he commenced the teaching of these district schools in the winters. These advantages only resulted in fairly perfecting him in the common branches of learning without the benefit of a higher culture. Books were scarce, and but for the little district library just before established, would have been few indeed, as those hardworking men and women had to struggle for bread and could spare nothing for books. What books could be reached he thoroughly read and they have been great advantage to him, but he has always felt the want of an early education, and the want of books of general information at that time in his life. In early manhood he became a Whig in feelings and at majority cast his first vote for General Scott in the presidential election of 1852, and at each election sustained it by his vote until its disappearance in the Republican party, which he has supported an sustained till the present time. In January, 1853, he commenced to study law in the office of Hon. Sidney T. Holmes, the county judge of Madison county, and finished his studies and was admitted to the bar at Utica, N. Y., in January, 1853, commencing at once the practice of law at that city, which he continued until September, 1861. After the first battle of Bull Run and the call for 500,000 volunteers immediately thereafter, although knowing nothing of military matters, like thousands of other young men in those stirring times, he resolved to do what was in his power to aid his country to put down that cruel rebellion against the best government the world had then seen. He associated with George Klinck and John S. Hunt (son of Hon. Wart Hunt) to recruit and have mustered into service an artillery company, which was done in the short time of two weeks, and on the organization the company, was chosen and then commissioned second lieutenant of said company, which formed Co. E of the 2nd N. Y. Heavy Artillery Vols., and was soon afterwards commissioned first lieutenant in place of Hunt. Early in the next November this regiment was at the front and formed part of the garrison of the chain of forts defending Washington from the south side of the Potomac River, where it remained (Except taking part in the battle of Second Bull Run) drilling, making forts and perfecting itself as a regiment until May, 1864, when it had 2,000 men in its twelve companies of first-class officers and soldiers, it was ordered to join General Grant in that celebrated campaign against Richmond; and the dead bodies of these brave men were left upon every battlefield from the Wilderness to Appomattox Court House. On arriving at the front the regiment was attached to and formed a part of the First Brigade (commanded by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, now commander-in-chief of the U.S. A) First Division (commanded by Gen. Francis C. Barlow) Second Corps (commanded by Gen Winfield Scott Hancock), all then and ever since celebrated as brave and superior officers. He served with this company and regiment, participating in all its battles, long marches and hardships until his discharge in October 1864, by reason of expiration of term of service, and during his whole service in the army was not obliged to go to a hospital. In August 1864, he received a commission as captain in the regiment, but his health being temporarily impaired by the hardships of that summer, he declined to muster under it and was honorable discharged after three years of service. Returning to his family and home his health improved rapidly and with strength came the desire to return to the army. He could not content himself with business, and in December, received a commission from the secretary of war as first lieutenant in the 1st Regt U. S. Vet. Vols (Hancock’s Corps) he again entered the service and was stationed at Utica to recruit veteran soldiers who had served at least two years and were physically sound; and during the following winter recruited 150 veterans who were mustered into the service and formed part of the 20,000 veterans which General Hancock was authorized by the war department to raise throughout the country and to command in the field. Early in March he was ordered to join his regiment, then serving in the Shenandoah Valley, and on arriving immediately took part in an expedition against General Mosby, the celebrated guerrilla of the Blue Mountains of Virginia, and here he heard the last hostile bullet in a short skirmish with this brave and daring leader. After the surrender of Lee his regiment was sent to the Wilderness to collect the bones of the unburied dead of that fierce struggle and bury them, mark the graves of the dead there and at Spotsylvania Court House, and then returning to Washington was the guard inside the prison at the execution of Mrs. Surrat, Harold and others for the assassination of the lamented Lincoln. In July he was ordered to Baltimore and promoted to be captain of Co. C. of the same regiment. He was in command of Fort Federal Hill and Camp Distribution in that city, and was honorable discharged at the muster out of service of his company and regiment in February, 1865. Returning to Utica, after long and valiant service in the army, Mr. Stoddard resumed the practice of law and in 1871, formed a co-partnership with Edwin H. Risley, which continued until 1884. Since then he has practiced his profession alone. Having been elected in the fall of 1871 he qualified and entered upon his duties as district attorney of Oneida county on January 1, 1872, and served in that capacity for a term of three years. Among the many important trials which he conducted as prosecuting officer was that of Josephine A. McCarthy for shooting and killing Henry H. Hall, of Ogdensburg, while riding in a Genesee street car in Utica. This was one of the most celebrated cases in the criminal annals of the State and lasted three weeks, and out of it grew the indictment, trial and conviction for libel of the editor of the Daily Bee for printing an attack upon the presiding judge. In 1878 Mr. Stoddard was candidate for surrogate on the Republican ticket, but owing to an organized effort to carry the office to Rome he was defeated by Stephen Van Dreaser by a very small majority. After this he retired permanently from politics and devoted his attention wholly to his profession, in which he has won brilliant achievements and a wide reputation. Mr. Stoddard is a member of Utica Lodge No. 47, F. & A. M. and Oneida Chapter No. 57, R. A. M., and a charter member of Yah-nun-dah-sis Lodge of Perfection Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. He is also a charter member of Post Bacon, No. 53, G. A. R., and has served as its quartermaster and commander two terms each. For a time he was judge advocate-general on the staff of General Barnum, Department Commander State of New York. He has always taken a lively interest in public affairs, and in the progress and prosperity of the city of Utica, where he occupies a prominent place both as citizen and lawyer. July 13, 1859, Mr. Stoddard was married to Miss Sarah B., daughter of Leonard Gibbs, of Utica. She was born in Boston, Mass., in 1833. Their children are David Curtis Jr. born March 6, 1862, and George Lyman born May 26, 1869, both of Utica.
