Snipes 3/5/1903 Deaths Daniel Harden 1/29/1888 (Based on information obtained in South Carolina Census Records, we believe this is the father of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Harden Snipes [wife of Melton Snipes, mother of Jim Snipes and Loula M. Snipes Wiggins]. He may have moved to Georgia to be with his daughter later in his lifetime, possibly upon the death of his wife. We do not know if he is buried in the Wiggins Cemetery or in South Carolina. Since his wife [Mahala Harden] is not mentioned in this Bible, we can assume that he was probably returned to South Carolina to be buried with his wife. However, there is an unmarked "Snipes adult" gravesite in the Wiggins Family Cemetery in Blun, Georgia that could also be his grave.) Emily A. Wiggins 5/14/1893 J.M.
