Snell, Irving, Little Falls, was born in the town of Manheim.  He received his 
education in the common schools here and in the Little Falls Academy.  After 
the completion of his studies he taught school for two terms, and in 1857 
inaugurated his present jewelry and musical merchandise business, which he has 
successfully conducted since that period.  Mr. Snell's ancestors located upon 
a tract of land (3,000 acres) granted them by King George, near Little Falls, 
which is known as Snell's Bush, and upon which five generations have since 
lived.  During the Revolution nine members of the Snell family participated in 
the battle of Oriskany, seven of whom were slain.  Irving Snell's grandfather 
was in the war of 1812.  Mr. Snell married Cloa Richmond, a daughter of Alvan 
Richmond.  They have one daughter, Annie.
