Squires, but identified in obituary as Mary E. Snider. Middle name has been reported as Artie. Obituary of son Coral gives her name as Marie, an apparent error. Note (3) "Squires Genealogy," p. 328, gives Mary Squires Snider's death as Aug 16 1969 in Doddridge County. But obituary states Aug 16 1970 "at St. Mary's Hospital, Clarksburg" at age 90. SSDI also states death in Aug 1970. Note (4) Harrison County Death Records states his birth as Aug 19 1881, and headstone shows birth in 1881, but obituary, SSDI, and Joy Gilchrist's Squires Genealogy all give it as Aug 19 1882. Note (5) Wes Cochran's "Doddridge County WV Marriages" reports marriage date as Apr 19 1904. Note (6) Listed as a boarder in household of his sister Rosa and her husband William H. Greathouse.
