Descendants of Nicholas Snow (1273) - Gulbangi.com

......Jonathan M. Snow and Nathan Joy came soon after, the latter coming around the lakes in the first three-master that
visited Lake Michigan. The list of names thus given does not make a full record of the early arrivals, but furnishes as far
as I am informed, such as constituted, the first Methodist Community.
From Pages 250 & 251): ....The Conference of 1862 was held Oct. 1st at Kenosha, Bishop Janes presiding. The country
was now in the full tide of war. During the year several members of the Conference had gone out as Chaplains, Rev. H. C.
Tilton with the Thirteenth Regiment, Rev. C. D.
Pillsbury with the Twenty-Second, and Rev. Samuel Fallows with the Thirty Second.
This was the hour for brave words, and the Wisconsin Conference had them to give. Nor war it in words alone that she
was prepared to sustain the Government. Such was the patriotism of the body that her ranks might have been seriously
depleted at any time, if it could have been done with safety to the interests of the country. But it was conceded that the
Government must now have a vigorous support at home. Partisan feeling in the late canvass had greatly demoralized the
people, and a strong moral influence was needed to rightly shape the tone of public sentiment. In fact, it was necessary
throughout the struggle that the Churches, under the lead of the clergy, should act the part of Aaron and Hur, in sustaining
the Government.
The Report adopted by the conference of the state of the country gave no uncertain expression of sentiment. Assuming
the position dictated by the most lofty patriotism, she pledged the country an unwavering support until the flag of the
Commonwealth should again wave in peaceful triumph over the entire land. Recognizing human freedom as the issue in
the conflict, she deemed it alike the duty of the citizen and the Christian to prosecute the war.
At this Conference the death of Rev. Jonathan M. Snow was announced, and his abituary placed upon the Minutes.
Brother Snow, after spending a short time in Racine, entered the Illinois Conference in 1838. His appointments were Elgin,
Princeton, Mount Morris, Geneva, Washington, Sylvania, Troy, Janesville, Mineral Point and Madison. At the close of his
labors at Madison, in 1852, he retired from the active work, but in 1859, he was re-admitted and granted a superannuated
relation. Brother Snow was a decisive man, earnest, energetic and persevering. He performed his full share of pioneer
work, and deserves an honorable mention among the Fathers of the Conference.
