The 1900 Census lists John as head of household and Eva as wife. Children are Jennie age 11, John age 9, Willard age 6, Clifford age 4, Maude age 2 and Birdie age 0/12 months old (born in May of 1900). He is listed as a farmer.
The gravestone of "John G. Snowball" is posted on FindAGrave website, Memorial # 38240320, which lists his birth as "1868" and his death as "1952", and states that he is buried in the Wendell Cemetery in Wendell, Gooding Co., Idaho.
Some of the information on John Garr Snowball and his children comes from Warren D. Brough and appeared in the RBFO 1988 book on page 107.
Eva Nell Tipton was born on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Morgan, Utah. In the 1870 Census--taken on 23 June 1870--Eva is listed as being 2 years old, and in the 1880 Census--taken on 11 June 1880--she is listed as being 12 years old, which strongly suggests that she was born prior to June 11-23, 1868. In the 1900 Census, Eva is listed as being born in October 1867. Unfortunately, Eva's death certificate contains several errors, such as stating the following: 1) that she was born on 2 October 1868 in Weber, Rich Co., Utah--which is a mistake as Weber is not in Rich Co., and she was born on 2 October 1867 in West Porterville, Morgan, Utah; 2) that her father was Enoch Tipton who was born in Wales--which is another mistake as Enoch was born in Shropshire, England; and 3) that her mother was Elizabeth Bruff who was born in England--which is a spelling mistake as Elizabeth's surname was Brough.
Eva Nell Tipton's surname is “Tipton” and not “Typton”. While she was alive she and her father (Enoch Tipton) personally identified their surname as "Tipton. Also, Eva's surname is recorded as “Tipton” in the 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census and in her 1887 Utah marriage record to John Garr Snowball. In addition, Eva's surname is recorded as "Tipton" in Utah church records; her 1947 Idaho death record lists her father's surname as "Tipton"; and the surname of Eva's aunts, uncles and grandparents in Illinois and England is repeatedly listed as "Tipton".
Eva Nell Tipton's middle name is listed as "Nell" in most family records--including the fact that she named her first child and daughter, Jennie "Nell" Snowball. However, the Utah marriage index does list Eva's middle as "Neil". The Brough Family Organization has used the middle name of "Nell" for Eva Nell Tipton because it is used most often in family records and among most family members.
In the 1870 U.S. Census, "Eva Tipton" is listed as being 2 years old (born about 1868) born in Utah, and residing with her parents, Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton, and her older stepsister, Josephine, in Morgan, Utah.
In the 1880 U.S. Census , "Eve Tipton" is listed as being 12 years old (born about 1868), born in Utah, and residing with her parents, Enoch and Elizabeth Tipton, and her older stepsister, Josephine Tipton, and her younger brother, William Enoch Tipton, in Kaysville, Utah.

Obituary for Idaho Falls online lists
John William Benzley born 16 March 1855 in Switzerland died 25 June 1933 in Blackfoot, Idaho. Buried Fort Hall Idaho Cemetery. Father Ehart Benzley and mother Elizabeth Bamberger. Death certificate 84838 Blackfoot Idaho.John William Benzley is buried at the Good Shepherd Cemetery in the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, Bingham, Idaho.
Information on John Willian Benzley and his children was supplied by Warren D. Brough, RBFO Genealogist, and copied from the 1988 RBFO book, p.106.
Buried in the "Good Shepherd Cemetery".
When Josephine died in 1932 the information was given by her daughter Daisy Benzley of Furport, Washington.
An important note by an RBFO Genealogist (July 2000): Josephine was raised by Enoch Tipton and also sealed to him. On 30 August 1991 (in the Provo LDS Temple), someone sealed Josephine Cartlidge (Tipton) to her mother Elizabeth Brough and stepfather Enoch Tipton. Even though Josephine was primarily raised by her mother and stepfather, she apparently never had herself sealed to either parent-couple during her lifetime. Therefore, she should also be sealed to her mother, Elizabeth Brough, and (blood) father, Samuel Cartlidge.
Daisy never married. Her obituary states Daisy Lavenna Benzley was born 22 January 1891 in Randolph, Utah and died 17 January 1941 in Blackfoot, Idaho at the age of 49. She was buried in the Shelley, Idaho cemetery and the funeral was at the Sandberg mortuary. Post Register January 19, P11 & January 20 P10.
