Some of the Snider children
add their reminiscences, telling
how their earliest recollections
are of the numerous travelers,
called prospectors, who would
stop at the “Snider Windmill,"
only watering place for miles.
In bad weather campers often
would take up their bedrolls and
ask permission to sleep inside
the kitchen. The only heat in
the house in those days was a
“bachelor stove," which did duty
as both heater and cookstove.
Consequently, the Snider fam-
ily had to sit up until the "com-
pany” was ready for bed.
Trip Hazardous
The trip to Quanah for sup-
plies always was hazardous.
During rainy seasons flash
floods were frequent and during
dry seasons the quicksand, or
just plain deep dry sand, was
dangerous for heavily loaded

by reason of annexation of
Greer County by Oklahoma, re-
mains active at her ranch home
near Hollis, Okla.
- She is Mrs. Martha Snider,
who has never left the area
after settling there. It is said
that she still considers herself
a Texan, though by the "Greer
County Case,” the Snider ranch
became located in Oklahoma
Territory in 1896,10 years after
she and her husband had moved
the beginnings of their cattle
herd from Gainesville.
A recent issue of the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram carried a
highly interesting story con-
cerning Mrs. Snider and her
family, in part as follows:
"They changed our address,
but we just hung on to our
land, filing on our homestead
after the Oklahoma annexation
of Greer County," Mrs. Snider
says. Several hundred other
acres were added in time, and
the "Snider Windmill," early
landmark to prospectors, was a
forerunner of irrigated farms.
It was about 12 years after
the Sniders built their first two-
room house and raised their
windmill before Hollis, county
set of Harmon County, Okla.,
was established. Hollis is about
four miles from the Texas
boundary. Quanah, where the
Sniders had stopped for a year
on the trek northwest from
Cooke County with their herd
of cattle, remained the supply
point for many years and also
was the nearest post office.
Children Still Living
Martha Lawrence and George
W. Snider were married at
Gainesville. He died in 1935. AU

ger, Greenwood; Mr. and Mrs. doctor could travel by horse-
back from Quanah across the
Church. Mr. and Mrs. T. P.
Butler of Winter Park are par-
ents of the bride.
While here the newlyweds and
the parents visited other Hen-
derson sons, Morris and family
at Canyon and Clayton in
Haskell.
Given in marriage by her fa-
ther, the bride chose a ballerina
length gown of Swiss embroid-
ered organdy with a V-neckline,
short sleeves and a bouffant
skirt with scalloped hemline.
Her elbow length veil fell from
a crown of pearls and brilliants.
She carried a white Bible with
a white orchid and a cascade
of stephanotis.
Miss Sue Butler attended her
sister as maid of honor and
wore pale green organdy over
taffeta. Her bouquet was of
green carnations cascaded with
white daisy pompoms.
Miss Gail Attaway was the
bridesmaid and Miss Sally
Oberst, junior bridesmaid. They
were gowned alike in peach or-
gandy over taffeta and carried
matching carnations. Alison
Armstrong of Jacksonville, Fla.,
was flower girl.
C. Roma Trulock was best
man and ushers were Tom But-
ler, brother of the bride, Leo
Howell, Randy Dauphinee and
Joe Mele. Denver Armstrong
was ringbearer.
For her trip to Gainesville,
the bride chose a navy blue silk
shantung suit trimmed with
white.
She is a graduate of Winter
Park High School and the bride-
groom attended Gainesville
schools, Orlando Junior College
and the University of Missis-
sippi. He is a member of the
Orlando Police Department.

"But always,” says Mrs. Sni-
der. "our home was a happy
one, for we were interested in
the activities of all ages. In due
time the children all were mar-
ried into neighborhood families,
and most of them continued to
live in the area and to rear their
families here, though some have
moved away recently.”
Five of the Snider children
married members of two neigh-
bor families, the J. B. Husbands
and the Bert Williams. Ethel
Snider married Dr. W. G. Hus-
band, who built the first Hollis
hospital. Ruby Snider married
Claud Husband, Hollis mer-
chant. Carl Snider married
Thelma Husband. Melvin Snider
married Grace Williams, and
Bonnie Snider married Willie
Williams, and these two couples
moved to Farwell, Texas, in
recent years.
Roscoe Snider, oldest child,
who served as Harmon County
treasurer after statehood, now
lives in Los Angeles. Other chil-
dren are:
Mrs. Elmer Willingham and
Mrs. Letha Knight of Loving-
ton, N. M., Mrs. Evans John-
son of Lawton, Okla., Mrs.
Aleen Clonts of Casa Grande,
Ariz., and Eofner Snider of
Borger.
Mrs. Snider has continued in-
terest in family and neighbors
and is quite active, ready for
visiting even when several days
traveling is involved.
