Summary

HR1450 is a resolution adopted by the Texas House of Representatives in honor of Ross Snodgrass, who passed away at the age of 107. Born in Kerr County in 1903, Snodgrass led a remarkable life characterized by his work in ranching, where he raised a variety of livestock including cattle, sheep, and quarter horses. The resolution recognizes not only his contributions to the ranching community but also his lengthy marriage of 77-and-a-half years, believed to be the longest in Texas at the time of his passing, to Clarabelle Barton, highlighting the importance of family in his life.

The tone is celebratory of Snodgrass's life and achievements, creating a sense of unity among those who knew him and those who appreciate Texas history.

Contention
