George Snodgrass was married February 7,1828, and his wife, Hannah, died December 9,1881. Mr. Snodgrass was one of the chain-carriers for the surveyor who was authorized to lay out the Marlon road, also the Newton mad. In running the entire distance from Marysville to the north part of the county, they saw but two or three cabins. One was in the valley of Belts's Creek, just north of Pharisburg, and another on Fulton Creek. The letter was occupied by Cyprian Lee. Levi Phelps, who surveyed the mad, was then a young, unmarried man, and at Mr. Lee's Douse, where the party made its headquarters for several days, he met, in the person of Mr. Lee's sister, the lady who subsequently became his wife.

George Snodgrass, the oldest living resident of Union County, in a letter dated at Urbana, Ohio, December 18, 1882, contributes from his recollection substantially as follows:

"When I came to Marysville to live, in February, 1824, there were but four families living on the town plat; it was literally in the woods. Silas G. Strong had just moved in a new log house, just where the house of Judge Woods, deceased, now stands, opposite the jail, on land he had purchased at $3.50 per acre. Daniel Miller, a brother-in-law of David Comer, lived in an old log cabin built probably by a squatter. He had four children, was a brick-maker by trade, and died here after a few years; his widow removed from the place. Matthias Collins was here when I came.. He had one or two children. His wife died at an early date. Collins was a carpenter, and built a little one-story house on East Center street, just on the east side of the branch. Dr. Henderson owns the site now. Collins got married in 1830, perhaps; moved on a farm, lived a few years and died. The fourth family was that of Stephen McLain. He was raised in Champaign County, Ohio, married in the fall of 1823, moved to Marysville, and was jailer, living in the jail when I went there in February, 1824. Those were the citizens of Marysville then
