While yet a small boy the family moved to Waco where Sneed, as he was always called, was reared and educated. One of his relatives, Rev. Joseph Sneed, was the first preacher in the young town of Waco, back in 1850. His first enterprise was with his brother, B.H. Hill, in the Hill Brothers Book and Stationary business, in which they prospered.
