J.C. SNIDOW JR., MONTGOMERY'S FIRST FULL-TIME JUDGE, DIES

Retired Judge J.C. Snidow Jr., Montgomery's County first full-time General District Court judge, died Monday. He was 76.

Snidow, of Blacksburg, was appointed to the bench in 1974, after almost 35 years of legal practice. The following year he was confirmed for a full six-year term by the General Assembly.

He presided over the court in the 27th Judicial District until 1986, when he stepped down from the bench at the mandatory retirement age of 70.

He was a 1940 graduate of Washington and Lee Law School, and attended Virginia Tech and Emory and Henry College.

The funeral will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Richardson-Horne Funeral Home Chapel in Christiansburg.
