  Biography   Mack was born on the farm in Floyd County, Texas, where his parents, John and Ada Snider, and a single uncle, Nathan Snider, were sharecropping. His father and the uncle each filed on 160 acres of Homestead Land in Quay County, New Mexico Territory in the Fall of 1906. They returned to the Texas farm to harvest their crop and wait for the birth of a another child in December. The new baby, Mack, was about a month old when his family reached their Homestead Land on a cold day in January 1907. They traveled by covered wagon with horses and possessions and a milk cow tied on back. A crate of chickens was attached under the bed of the wagon. The Sniders were among the first to homestead in that area and were on the trail days at a time without seeing any one else. Mack grew up on this homestead and attended McAlister School several miles away where his mother was a teacher. He courted and married Ruby Wright, daughter of nearby neighbors, and they settled in the farming community of House. Mack and Ruby prospered through the years, working side by side farming and raising livestock. Three children, Nina, Adlea and Creston, arrived and grew up on the farm. The family attended House Baptist Church where Mack was a deacon and in later years, he drove a school bus for the House Public School District. Their children married and brought grandchildren back for time on the farm. Mack and Rubye were still living on their farm at the time of his death. Children: Nina Faye Snider Kirchmeier 1929- Ona Adlea Snider Wallace 1930- Sim Creston Snider 1937-
