Of the younger generation of agriculturists who continue to dwell amid the surroundings of their boyhood and with their newer energy and broader outlook are augmenting the labor of their sires upon landmark homesteads, mention is due Oliver H. Snowberger, of Newberry Township, who was born on the farm upon which he is now carrying on operations, in 1873, a son of David R. and Lydia (Cassel) Snowberger. David R. Snowberger was born in Pennsylvania, from which state he enlisted for service in a volunteer infantry regiment during the Civil War. At the close of the struggle, he returned to the Keystone state, but in 1869 came to Ohio and settled west of Bradford. Following his marriage in that community, he came to the property now owned and operated by his son, and here continued in agricultural operations during the remainder of his life, his death occurring in 1907. He married Lydia, daughter of Michael and Mary Cassel, of Newberry Township, who still survives him and resides with her son. They became parents of four children: Andrew, Oliver H., Elmer and Mary C. Oliver H. Snowberger secured a public school education and has always been engaged in agricultural pursuits. Of recent years, he has had entire charge of the farm, which he has brought to a high state of cultivation, and is accounted one of the progressive young agriculturists of his locality. He is a young man of practical ideas and pronounced general ability, and has faithfully discharged the duties of good citizenship in times of both peace and war. On November 2, 1920, Mr. Snowberger was married to Mrs. Oma Hall of Piqua, Ohio. She was a daughter of Peter and Tlista (Long) Bailey. She was a widow with four children: Lewis, George, Mary and Maudia, who live with their mother. Mr. Snowberger is a wholesale dealer in sand and gravel. He has a large gravel pit on his farm, and pays more attention to that than farming.
