   Robert H. Snowberger, one of the successful farmer and landowners of 
Northeast Indiana, was a veteran of the Civil war, and for over half a 
century has been identified with different agricultural communities in 
Steuben and DeKalb Counties.
He came for a family of well known prominence in this section of Indiana, 
being a son of David and Evelyn (Haughey) Snowberger.  Some of the other 
details of the family history are found in other pages.
Robert H. Snowberger was born in Ashland County, Ohio, December 19, 1845, 
but grew up in Steuben County, acquiring his education in the California 
district school in Steuben Township.  He was not yet eighteen years of age 
when on August 4, 1863, he enlisted in Company D of the Seventh Indiana 
Cavalry.  He was in service for more than two years, receiving his 
honorable discharge February 2, 1866.  He participated in the campaign in 
Mississippi, involving the battles of Okolona and Guntown, and saw much 
other active service.  After his return from the army Mr. Snowberger did 
some ditching work for a year and a half, then bought a small stretch of 
land in Steuben Township, a few years later moved to DeKalb County, and 
remained there a year and a half, again moved to Steuben Township and then 
located on the farm where he had previously lived in DeKalb County, and 
remained there nine years.  His next place was a farm of 200 acres in 
Pleasant Township of Steuben County, and that was his home and the scene 
of his activities for the next twenty-nine years.  After leaving there Mr. 
Snowberger and his family lived in Angola for a year, and in March, 1918, 
he moved to his present place in Jamestown Township. His efforts have been 
prospered, and at the present time he owns about 359 acres in Pleasant and 
James town townships.
   Mr. Snowberger is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He 
married in 1867 Maria Lacey, daughter of Thomas Lacey.  Some of the 
records of the Lacey family are found on other pages.
   Mrs. Snowberger, who died in 1909, was the mother of five children, the 
first two dying in infancy. Those living are:  Cary M., a dentist at 
Hudson; Grace A. the wife of Homer Brown, and Fred who also follows the
