Misc. Notes
Listed in the 1938 & 1948 Bloomington city directories with his first wife Beatrice. In the 1940 census he is indexed as Herbert Snoddy (25, IN) a bookkeeper with wife Beatrice (34, IN) and children William (10) and Rebecca (8) all born in Indiana and living in the same place in 1935. Since the children are too old to be his, they must be from her prior marriage. Their daughter Patty was then born about 1948, as she was in the High School class of 1964. She is noted in his obituary as Patty Wood.
