"L.D. Snapp is one of the thoroughly reliable upright business men of Woodruff County (Arkansas) and is said to be one of the largest and most successful real estate owners in the County, he owning 3000 acres with 1900 under cultivation. On this property are 35 tenement houses all occupied, and his own private residence, a very handsome structure, also a large cotton-gin which has a capacity of 25 bales a day. He has done more than any other man in developing the County, and it is, through his influence that a Post Office has been established bearing his name and at this place he has a general mercantile establishment which nets him a fair annual income. He is a man of exceptionally fine character and noted for his exceeding liberality, always being ready to assist the poor and distressed. His birth occurred in Taney County, Missouri, April 22, 1842, and here he received the greater part of his education and rearing. He abandoned farm work at the outbreak of the Rebellion to take up the weapons of war in defense of his country and in 1861 enlisted in Company E, Third Missouri Cavalry, serving until June 27, 1865. He was promoted to the rank of 1st Lieutenant of the Company, meriting it by his bravery, and was in all the engagements of the Trans-Mississippi Department. Two brothers fought within the Army and one was killed at the battle of Glasgow. After the Proclamation of Peace, Mr. Snapp returned to Missouri and in the fall of 1866 came to Woodruff County, Arkansas, where he has since made his home. He was married on March 4, 1869 to Miss Mary H. Luckinbill, by whom he has had a family of ten children, five now living, James C. Harry, Walter, Myrtle and Pearl.
