He lived in Ripley county until 1884, and then came to Greensburg, where he retired from business, and where his last days were spent. Capt. William Harrison Snodgrass, of the Eighty-third Indiana, enlisted in Decatur county, and served throughout the Civil War. He was captain of Company A, and enlisted as second lieutenant, advanced to first lieutenant, then captain and brevet major. His children were: Josephine Callahan, who died in 1900; Emma Hatch, now a widow; Hester Dennison, deceased; Worth, deceased; Melissa Dennison now living at Greensburg ; Mary Wallingford, and Dea Jenks, deceased.

Describes a document for a bill of sale for a slave girl named Emily, who was sold for $1000 to P.S. Dudley by Hiram Wallingford, Fleming County, Kentucky, and a letter concerning the bill of sale, 1951.

Hiram and family were living in in District 3, Fleming County, Kentucky, in 1860. He and his wife have four children, the oldest of whom (John N.) is also listed as a 'merchant', the same as his father.

In 1882, Hiram and Hannah were living with their son, John, probably due to the 'attack of paralysis' that Hannah had experienced. Hiram wrote that they had been there for a year at the time (September 1882), and that he had not sold the house he had lived in the previous 16 years. In that letter to his brother Thomas Ginn, he said that they expected to remain with John for another year or so.
