      Virgie was born and grew up in Tennessee. As an adult, she received a letter from and began corresponding with a middle-aged Texan named Nathan Snider. He had been given her name and address by a mutual acquaintance. They wrote back and forth for awhile and Nathan made a trip to Tennessee to meet Virgie and her family. He returned to Texas without a bride. They had continued to write back and forth for a time when she received "the letter". In it, this Texan stated that he thought they had corresponded long enough and it was time for them to either get married or stop writing. She was aghast. She crumpled his letter, walked over and threw it in the fireplace. Then she quickly retrieved the letter from the fire and wrote back accepting his marriage proposal. Nathan went back to Tennessee, married his bride and took her back to Texas with him. The couple first lived in Midland, Texas, where a daughter, Jo Ella, was born. They then moved to Robertson County where Nathan was born and grew up. This bride from Tennessee was the love of Nathan's life. He cherished his Virgie and she nurtured and cared for him. When she died many years later, Nathan was devastated. His daughter and her family provided love and support. In time he moved to the Fort Worth area and a life without Virgie - but she was always there in his heart. His mind was clear and his memory still intact when he died at the age of ninety seven and was laid to rest by his Virgie..
