The Gypsum Advocate, Gypsum, Kans. 4-5-1912: Died in California. Virgil A. Snoddy Brought to Gypsum For Burial. Mr. Virgil A. Snoddy, one of the pioneer settlers of the Gypsum Valley, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Fannie Tolle, at Paso Robles, California, last Friday, to which place he had gone, about two weeks ago, from Kansas City, with the hopes of regaining his health. Virgil A. Snoddy was born near Glasco, in Barren County, Kentucky, February 7, 1845, and died March 29, 1912, in Paso Robles, California, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Fannie Tolle. Mr. Snoddy first came to McPherson County, Kansas, about 1868 and homesteaded a farm on Gypsum Creek, north of Roxbury. A few years later he returned to Kentucky; and in the fall of 1878 was united in marriage to Miss Syrena A. Dennis, of Glasco, Kentucky, to which union two daughters were born. The following spring they returned to Kansas and went to housekeeping on their farm. On July 4, 1885 Mrs. Snoddy passed away. In 1885 Mr. Snoddy opened a general store in Gypsum in partnership with his brother-in-law, E. C. Davidson, which was the second store here. In the winter of 1886 he moved his family to Gypsum, where he lived until July, 1911 when he moved to Kansas City. He united with the M. E. Church in 1859. He was a member of the I. O. O. F. lodge for about 25 years. He leaves to mourn his death two daughters, Mrs. Bernice Milham and Miss Grace Snoddy, both of Kansas City; one grandson, two sisters, Mrs. E. C.
