He is the fourth son of Thomas Schnatter (later anglocized to Snawder). Andrew was born in Bullitt County, Kentucky. On 23 September 1995 I was presented Andrew Snawder's Family Bible. The Bible had been handed down to Nancy Elen Snawder who in return gave it to her oldest daughter Mary Frances Christine Smith who in return passed it on to her only child Joseph B. Smith and he passed it on to his daughter Emilyn Elizabeth Smith who became a Carmelite Nun in the early 1980's and she became Sister John of the Cross. I found Emilyn Elizabeth in 1993 and started corresponding with her reference my research. She passed away on 16 July 1995, she died intestate. I was contacted by Mother Mary Ann of the Cross who notified me of her death. I told Mother Mary Ann I was very interested in the Bible. The Bible was sent to me and was received on the 23 September 1995. The copyright page states the following: The Holy Bible, containing The OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS: Translated out of the ORIGINAL TONGUES, and with the former translations dilegently compared and revised. Stereotype Edition. New York: Stereotyped by James Connor, FOR THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY, 1828. On the last three fly leafs of the Bible are listed the issues of Andrew and Katharine Pohon Snawder. On the first fly leaf page is entered the following: Katharine Snawder was born the 29th of June 1807 and a line is drawn below that and the name of Nancy E. Christine appears. The last two fly leafs in the Bible have all of Andrew and Katharine Snawder's children and their dates of birth. William T. Snawder was born Nov 1st 1825 Sarah Jane Snawder was born the 13th of October 1828 Celia Ann Snawder was born the 28th of March 1831 John W.

T. Snawder was born the February 15th 1851 On the last page of the Bible it reads... Andrew Snawder Holy Bible March the 23rd 1848 and his... the last word is unreadable but appears to be testament and ... and is then followed by scribbling with a quill. Below this inscription is Emilyn E. Smith Born Feb 4, 1930. Inside the Bible there are two locks of hair blond tied with satin ribbons. In the book of Revelations, page 155, Chapter VI., verse 8, And I looked, and behold, a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was death, and hell followed with him... (Written in the margin is the date April 12, 1861- This is the date that the South opened fire on Fort Sumter and the Civil War began.) The second son of Andrew is John Wesley Snawder (who after 1860 started recording his last name as SNOWDER) is my great great grandfather. Everything shown above is copied as it found in the Bible. The Bible is leather bound and other than the pages getting brittle and starting to turn brownish in color, is in extremely good condition. Submitted by T. J.

In an old newspaper clipping from a Helena, MT paper reporting the death of Maanry Hauser Hill in Falmouth, KY on June 6, 1901 it is reported the family moved to Helena, MT about 1887. Samuel T.

Hill Passes Away at Falmouth, Kentucky News was received in Helena yesterday of the death at Falmouth, Kentucky, of Mrs. H. H. Hill, for a number of years a resident of this city. Mrs. Hill has not been in good health for some time, and last year she went east in the hope of being benefitted. She visited her daughter in New York state, and afterwards went to her old home at Falmouth, Kentucky. For some years Mrs. Hill had been suffering from heart trouble, and death finally resulted from that cause. Mrs Hill came to Montana about 14 years ago from Moline, Ill., with her husband, H. H. Hill. She leaves three children, George H., of this city, Thomas, who is at falmouth, and a married daughter in New York, Mrs. May Murphy. She leaves two brothers, former Governor S. T.
