EDGAR G. SNOW

--Edgar G. Snow of Lyda township in this county [Macon], whose extensive farming and stock-raising industry is located near the town of Atlanta, has both deserved and commanded success, and is esteemed as one of the leading citizens of the township because of the qualities of mind and body with which he has won it and the manly and public spirited way in which he has used it in promoting the best interests of the region around him and the people who inhabit it.
--Mr. Snow is a native of Michigan, born in the city of Kalamazoo in 1849. His father, Orson Snow, was born and reared in Oswego, New York, and from there moved to Kalamazoo. He was married in 1847 to Miss Rosella Ward, a native of Ohio, and moved his family to Missouri in 1866, located in Macon county and Lyda township...
--Edgar G. Snow grew to the age of seventeen in Kalamazoo and obtained his education in the public schools and the Baptist College in that city. After he came to Missouri with his parents he did not again go to school, but entered at once on his career as a farmer and stock dealer, and in extending and improving this he has ever since been engaged. ...He now owns over 400 acres of land, the greater part of which is under cultivation and yielding rich harvests, and also conducts extensive operations in raising live stock.
--Politically Mr. Snow is a Republican and one of the energetic working members of his party. In the general affairs of the township he takes an earnest and serviceable interest and a leading part. He has been one of the school directors and president of the board for more than ten years, and has also served as road commissioner six. In these responsible and trying offices he has rendered good service to the people and has the satisfaction of knowing that his efforts to promote their welfare are highly appreciated. In fraternal life he is connected with the Masonic Order and in religious affiliation with the Universalist church. His lodge and his church have been objects of constant care and interest to him. He has received benefits of magnitude from them and found great enjoyment in their works of benevolence. And they, in turn, have been substantially aided by his membership and activity in their behalf. In 1873 he was united in marriage with Miss Anna Jones, a native of Seranton, Pennsylvania. They have three children., their daughters Nellie, Grace and Katherine. All the members of the family enjoy in a marked degree the esteem of all who know them and are worthy of it.
