Obituary - Mary Jane Young Snook, 09 Dec 1901
Newspaper – Oswego Daily Palladium, Thursday Evening, 26 December 1901
The brief obituary states "Mary Jane Snooks died on Thursday morning, December 9th, age fifty-one years. Funeral was held on Saturday last at the M. E. church; burial at Hillside cemetery."
Mary Jane Young Snook is my great grandmother. She was born 1851 in Hastings, Oswego County, NY and married Judge Snook, son of Freeman and Lydia "Soule" Snook, approximately 1874. They had four children over the next five years. Then, abruptly it appears; Judge Snook left the area and removed to Colorado in 1879 or 1880. Once in Colorado, Judge Snook changed his name to William T. Snook, married a second time (Clara Zillah Park) and had several more children. They lived in Grand Junction, Mesa County, Colorado.
Mary Jane Snook must have been a special lady having lived the trials and tribulations of life she faced with robust courage, maturity and lots of hard work, no doubt. She managed to raise four children, all of which matured to adulthood, married and had families of their own.
They were Georgia Snook VanAuken, Josie Snook Pickard, Freeman M. Snook and Mary "Mamie" VanAuken. I descend from Freeman M. Snook.
Mary Jane Young Snook appears to be the youngest of five children born to Godfrey and Mary Ann "Yorton" Young. They were all born in Hastings, Oswego County, NY according to the federal census of 1850 and 1860. It is an interesting fact that Mary Jane lost her father at a young age, as well. According to an article that appeared in the Oswego Times & Journal on Wednesday, 26 May 1856, her father Godfrey Young, a cooper by trade, was engaged in a swamp in Central Square getting out hoop timber. The article states he felled a black ash tree which resulted in a fatal accident, crushing Mr. Young. He lived only a few hours after the untimely accident. Unfortunately, this left Mary Jane's mother (Mary Ann Yorton Young) with a large family of children to raise.
Mary Jane Snook is buried in Hillside cemetery, Central Square, Hastings, NY along side her mother and father.
