In 1962, after completing his own medical training and a stint in the Army, Dr. John P. Snead IV returned to Rappahannock County to practice medicine with his father.

“I’d seen a lot of things in. my training and in the Army,” he said. “But I learned a lot from my father about general practice and about people. I enjoyed working there very much.”

For five years then Rappahannock had two doctors^* “Old Doc - Snead” and “Young Doc Snead.” Mrs. Lindsey worked in the office too.

“We charged $2.50 for an office visit,” she said. “One Sunday there were so many cars that the Methodist minister, who lived next door, couldn’t get out of his driveway. He said there were more people there' than there would be in church. Daddy went up to $5 for Sunday office visits.”
