Walking around the Mccoms Cemetery in Price township, I was trying to
get a photo of a stone that was located under a few large tree. It was a small
tree when a relative planted it so many years ago. Now it's a large tree which
has taken over most of the area. I realized I was standing on another stone and
decided to do a little housekeeping to discover Zalmund Snow. My thinking
was WOW What a name!!! It has to be a family name, and I can find other Z Snows
in Iowa tax list for 1866 so there was more than one in the U.S.
Zalmund born 21 April 1831 in Pa. was the
son of Josiah B. Snow who was from Connecticut he was a farmer and moved to Pa
in about 1825.He and his wife Elizabeth Miller Snow. settled in Price Township, Monroe County and
as of1850 their children were Elizabeth, Susan, Cathy Ann, Daniel, Harriet,
William, Lousia, Mary Jane, Lohestor (f), Mathias.
Zalmund a Lumberman by 1860 married in Warren
Co., NJ on 3 May 1867 Anna Groner (1855-1922) she was the daughter of Peter
Groner and resided in Stroudsburg, Pa. They settled on Snow Hill, which we know
today as Snow Hill Road, Price Twp., Pa. I could not find Anna after 1900. They
had children Elizabeth, Amanda, Marge Laura, Charles, Hebert (1887-1946). and
Eliza. Anna states on the 1900 census that she had 10 children and 7 were alive by
1900. I also find no record of Zalmund/Zalmon serving in the Civil War. He died
1 July 1902.
