Died on the 21st day of September, 1859 in Lebanon, Mrs. Julia Ann Snook, Consort of
John M. Snook, in the 68th year of her age.
Mrs. Snook was born in Columbia, in the month of April, 1791, and was consequently one
Among the first children born in the Miami country. Her father, the late Capt. Ephraim Kibbey, formed one of the first colony in the west, which landed at the mouth of the Little Miami 17th November, 1788, and immediately built Fort Miami, and laid out the town of Columbia. Capt. Kibbey was the principal military officer of that colony for several years. as Deerhead, in this county, and in 1799 was elected a member of the second Territorial Legislature from Hamilton County, which then embraced all the Miami County.
The deceased was the second daughter of Capt. Kibbey, and was necessarily exposed to dangers and hardships of which the present generation have no conception. But while this was a severe school, it disciplined her to endure the trials of life with more than common energy and firmness. Almost unaided by the help now so essential, she nursed and reared to maturity twelve children, nine of whom survive her, and with her aged father mourn their irreparable loss.
Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of her acquaintances and citizens in general, and a funeral discourse was preached on the occasion by Rev. W. S. Bacon, of Lockland, H.C.
