T. L. Snodgrass, the well known florist of Clinton and proprietor of the Snodgrass 
greenhouses, is at the head of one of the interesting enterprises of Henry County. 
The Snodgrass greenhouses, which are located at 905 East Ohio street, is an 
extensive institution and a model of its kind. Here one finds the most modern 
equipment and the application of the best methods for the production of all kinds 
of flowers, bulbs and plants generally found in an up-to-date greenhouse. There 
are over 12,000 feet under glass. The product of this institution is not confined 
to Clinton and Henry County, but flowers are shipped from here over a large 
radius of country. Much credit is due Mr. Snodgrass for the development of this 
business. While he is thoroughly experienced in this line of work, having devoted 
about twenty-one years of his life to it, the Snodgrass greenhouses of Clinton 
dates its beginning only about seven years ago. T. L. Snodgrass is a native 
Missourian. He was born in Cooper County in 1875 and is a son of S. F. and W. E. 
(Timms) Snodgrass, the former a native of Kentucky and the latter of Georgia. 
The father was a soldier in the Confederate army and served throughout the war. 
He died in 1915 and his remains were buried in Englewood Cemetery. His widow 
now resides at Clinton. They were the parents of the following children: T. L., the 
subject of this sketch; Etta, resides in Clinton; Lillie, married Walter Landaker; 
S. O., an engineer, Clinton, Missouri; Minerva, married Jack Cound, Toledo, Ohio; 
Fannie and Carl, deceased. Mr. Snodgrass received his education in the public 
schools at Clinton, Missouri, and attended Clinton Academy, when Professor 
Lamkin was principal. Since leaving school Mr. Snodgrass has practically devoted 
his life to the florist's business, and in his broad range of experience in this line 
of work, has covered every detail of the practical side of flower and plant 
culture of which he is making such a well merited success. Mr. Snodgrass was 
married in 1913 to Mrs. Nona Cherry of Nevada, Missouri, and a daughter of Dudley 
and Lula (Thomas) Thomas. The father and the mother reside in Clinton. Mrs. 
Snodgrass has one sister, Daisy, now the wife of James Grant, and a brother, 
Taylor Thomas, who resides in Nevada, Missouri. Mr. Snodgrass is a member of the 
Modern Woodmen of America and he and his wife have an extensive acquaintance 
in Clinton and are popular.
