ENTERED INTO REST
Mrs Nelson n. Snow

The death of Mrs N. FL. Snow was
reported in this paper last week. She
died at the home of her daughter Mrs
Leon Clausen in Moline, ILL.,, Tuesday.
March 49, The body was brought to
Mineral Point, arriving Thursday after
noon. The funeral was held at 800
o'clock, with services in Trinity Epis-
copal Church, the Rector, Rev. Frederic
Ct. Williams and the Rev. A M. Sher-
man of Platteville officiating. There
was large attendance of sorrowing
friends and the floral tributes were
many and most beautiful.
In the death of Mrs Snow the com
munity mourns the passing from this
life of truly Christian woman, whose
many acts of love and kindness will ever
remain memorial of her. She was
born in Neenah, this state Oct 1, 1862,
the daughter of Matthew and Jane
(Bracken) Simpson. She was united
in marriage on Nov s, 1870 to Nelson
FL. Snow. Their home was in Avoca
for some years and in March, 1882, they
came to Mineral Point and became an
influence for good i'll the community.
The family home was ever hospitable
one. Mrs Shows delight was in max
ing others happy. The death of her
husband in May, last, greatly saddened
her life, and doubtless hastened her
death.
Three sons, one daughter, and one
sister survive her-all strong Christian
characters. Mrs Snow rests from her
earthly labors, but the memory of her
kindly deeds remains in the minds and
hearts of all who knew her.
The burial was beside her husband in
Graceland.
