Event-Misc*7 December 1919 John Cedric Joseph Snook and Marie Eugenie Bonnard had the following event: on 7 December 1919 at Casper, Natrona Co., Wyoming, Letter from "J.C. Snook" to "Dearest Mother"
Your letter came yesterday, I am not sure but what your honors thrill me as much if not more than they do you, you can not imagine how proud of you I am, even my heroic brother must take second place. It is wonderful to be honored for your deeds, as it does not always come to those who most deserve it. Mother dear if you were a man, we would have a leader to step into Roosevelts place, as a leader of American thought and action, and Oh how we do need a real leader now. But I am mighty glad you are not for what would we kids do with out you for a Mother. I wonder if Edith or I will be able to guide the steps of our children with such clearness of vision and understanding as you did mine and if we can instill in them that honor that would rather died than be tainted ever so little. They are wonderful kids and it would be a crime against God not to bring them up right, but I know we will, only some times I get worried for fear I might misunderstand them.
[The rest of the letter is missing, so even though there is no direct indication of what the "honor" is, we know that is was her service during and after the war.]
