Hi. Any info on D. E. Snipes of Chesterfield born 1895 and died 1938. Married Mollie Elliott who was born 8 April 1995 in Kershaw. My dad, Paul Snipes lived just outside Catarrh. He may be buried at Fork Creek United Methodist Cemetery which shows a Danie E Snipes born 1993 and died 1937. As a kid, I saw his large tombstone and remembered it saying D. E. Snipes and it was at Wolf Creek. He had a son named Dan who ran the family after his my grandfather died. They later worked a four mule farm. paulsnipes@ymail.com
