"John Henry Snider married his second wife, Neacie Lenora Parker April 21, 1901 in Stamps, Arkansas. She was the daughter of John Walker Parker, the first mayor of Stamps Ark. and Eliza Cooper Parker. John Henry was a widower with six children who were living with relatives in Garrett, Texas. He was 42 and Neacie Lenora was 22. Neacie took on a huge responsibility at only 22 years of age to manage the children and still manage to have a dozen children with her husband. John Henry was a restless mover, during the following years he moved his sizable family after the birth of their first son Robert Allen back to Buckner from Texas. Their second son was born in Buckner, then they moved to Louisiana and a third son was born, then back to Texas near Farmersville, Texas. When they left the Farmersville area their family numbers again had grown with at least five more children of Neacie and John Snider. As they settled on to West Texas, the area of Electra. John uprooted again and moved to Angleton (outside of Galveston) and hauled logs until the rains made it necessary to seek a dryer climate. The family moved by wagon trail to Oklahoma City. Here they dug in their roots and remained for the rest of their lives. The family was large however they worked together and played together having enough children for two teams to play. They swam, caught perch and channel catfish in their streams in Oklahoma. Their produce helped to feed the growing Oklahoma City. They had food and clothing in a most desperate time for the country and in an area that was just emerging from a wild territory. The senior Snider and his wife Neacie were blessed with 18 children who contributed much flavor to the State of Oklahoma. Neacie Lenora lived thirty-three years after her husband, John Henry's death. She was fifty-three years old when he died. Neacie lived to see many transitions of the state of Oklahoma; she saw the Wars claim children and grandchildren. In September 1964 after a losing fight with cancer Neacie died with many of her family members by her side. " Esther Snider-Stuewe
