Ownership and History |
Eliza M. Snively and her husband, Rev. Thaddeus A. Snively, were the subject of several newspaper articles in the early 1890s. They separated in June 1891, and in October 1892 she filed for divorce "on the ground of intolerable severity" and requested permanent custody of their two sons. One of the articles noted "Mr. and Mrs. Snively have had their summer residence at Bennington for a number of years, and she is now living at that place." |
