Notes
a. Note:   [donsnook.ftw]
  Merged General Note: IN 1850, WILLIAM AND HIS FAMILY WERE ON, THE CENSUS OF VAN BUREN COUNTY, IOWA JUST SOUTH OF JEFFERSON COUNTY. BY 1860, HE AND HIS FAMILY WERE IN LINN COUNTY, KANSAS WHERE HE LIVED UNTIL HIS DEATH. THE COUNTY HISTORY OF LINN COUNTY RELATES THAT HE MOVED TO LINN COUNTY IN 1857. HE PICKED A TERRIBLE TIME TO LIVE THERE AS THAT WAS THE PERIOD WHEN ALL THE FIGHTING WAS GOING ON BETWEEN THE SOUTHERN SYMPATHISTS AND NORTHERN SYMPATHISTS. BOTH SIDES WANTED KANSAS TO VOTE THEIR WAY. THERE WERE PEOPLE PULLED FROM THEIR HOMES AND MASSACRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, ALL FOR THE CAUSE! LUCKILY, WILLIAM SNOOK'S FAMILY ESCAPED NOTICE. ONE STORY ABOUT MARGARET SUMMERS SNOOK IS THAT SHE IS WHERE THE SNOOK TEMPER COMES FROM. ONE DAY SHE SENT WILLIAM TO TOWN TO GET HER SOME MATERIAL SHE WANTED. WHEN HE RETURNED WITHOUT THE PARTICULAR ONE SHE ASKED FOR, SHE HAD A TANTRUM. WILLIAM AND MARGARET HAD SIX SONS AND THREE DAUGHTERS. THREE SONS AND ONE DAUGHTER DIED YOUNG. IT WAS A HARD LIFE BACK THEN. ONE SON SILAS, DIED OF RUBELLA IN FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS DURING THE CIVIL WAR. HE IS BURIED IN LINN COUNTY, KANSAS, SO HE MUST HAVE BEEN BROUGHT HOME. WILLIAM SNOOK'S OBITUARY IN THE LaCYGNE JOURNAL, JANUARY 12, 1984 DIED - AT 730 O'CLOCK THURSDAY MORNING, OF CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, AT HIS HOME IN SCOTT TOWNSHIP, AGE 76 YEARS. HE HAD NOT BEEN WELL SINCE INJURED BY HIS TEAM RUNNING AWAY AT THE TIME THE FAIR WAS HELD IN THIS CITY LAST FALL. MR. SNOOK OR "UNCLE BILLY" AS HIS INTIMATE FRIENDS KNEW HIM, WAS MAN OF MOST EXCELLENT CHARACTER, WITH A LARGE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, AND HIS DEATH WILL BE WIDELY REGRETTED.
