Obituary
Mrs. Charolette Snow-1918
The death of Mrs. Charlotte M. Snow at the Jamestown State Hospital on Thursday, April 11, removed one of Wahpeton’s oldest and most familiar figures. Mrs. Snow was born 89 years ago last January in the State of Vermont. Her maiden name was Russell. Her first husband was a Cummings. By that marriage there were three children, all of whom we are informed, predeceased their mother. Left a widow in middle life, in due time she became the wife of Mr. Snow in Wahpeton in late 1881. The home which they later constructed was one of the prettiest of that time in the town and is still regularly
occupied on the former of 5th Street and Pembina Ave. Mr. Snow was Deputy County Auditor under Mr. Ole K. Ulsaker, who is worthy of great credit for his beneficence toward the Snow family, especially in the later days of Mrs. Snow’s helplessness.
Being left a widow many years ago Mrs. Snow met the world with a cheerful industry which sustained her until the extreme age rendered her quite dependent. She was noted for her brightness, originality and honest dealing. The many friends who she had made were beautifully loyal to her in her feebleness in the past few years and too much credit cannot be said in their praise for their unfailing tenderness toward her. The funeral was held from the Congregational Church Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Mrs. Snow was the second oldest member of that church in Wahpeton. The sermon preached by Rev. F. E. Stillwell was taken from the last clause of Psalm 39:12. A large number of former friends and neighbors followed the remains to the grave in Fairview cemetery. It is understood that Mrs. Snow’s only surviving near-relative is an aged sister in the east.
