Snow, which occurred at the family residence on Summit street Sunday evening at 9:15 o'clock, Prescott and Yavapai county loses one of its pioneer residents, she having lived in this city for thirty years. Although her health had been failing for some time the deceased became seriously ill only a few days ago, and her death was a great shock to her any relatives and friends. She was 55 years of age. The immediate cause of death was an abscess at the base of the brain. Her husband survives the deceased. The funeral was held from the residence this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The deceased was born in Tennessee, April 10, 1850, but when a small girl accompanied by her parents she went to Arkansas, where she resided for some time. It was here that she was married to J. C. Snow, the wedding occurring in October 1869. In the summer of 1876 Mr. and Mrs. Snow were members of a party which left Arkansas for Arizona, making the entire distance in covered wagons which were hauled by bull teams. The party arrived in Prescott, August 31 at a time when the population consisted of a few camps and they were not overburdened with people. Mrs. Snow manifested a great deal of interest in the welfare of the city. Transcriber's note: Mrs. Snow is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
