      Registered for the draft as George Engwald Snesrud on June 5, 1918, in Faribault. He was born, and was still living in, Webster, Minnesota. He was employed as a mail carrier on Route 2, Webster, and listed his father, Theodore Snesrud of Webster, as his nearest relative. He was described as of medium height and build with blue eyes and dark brown hair.

      George E. Snesrud and his new wife Minnie were living in Webster Twp, Rice County, at the time of the 1920 census. George was a mail carrier. Living with them was Minnie’s brother, Ingmer Thompson, no occupation.

      In the 1930 census, they are still living in Webster Twp but George is now shown as a farmer. Ingmer is still living with them: he is single and shown as a commercial hauler.

      The “Solor’s Lutheran Cemetery” was established in 1881 in Greenvale Twp, Dakota County. It was a 1 acre plot of land in Section 9, the southwest quarter of the northwest quarter. The cemetery was later abandoned and moved to Webster Twp, Rice County, about 6 miles west, to the location of the Solor Lutheran Church of Webster. It is not clear whether or not anyone is still buried at the Greenvale Twp location.
