Discussion
Mary, wife of George Snider, is not mentioned in this will and is presumed to have predeceased her husband.
Only a single son, George, is identified, with sixth out of ten bequests being directed toward grandchildren. The third numbered bequest is missing from this transcription. It might have been directed toward another child of George and Mary, or perhaps to yet another grandchild.
