Evening Star (DC)
3 November 1869

DEATH OF MRS. CHAUNCY H. SNOW -- We hear with regret of the death of Mrs. Laura E. Snow, wife of Chauncy H. Snow, Esq., formerly one of the proprietors of the National Intelligencer, which took place yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock p.m. at the residence of her father-in-law, W. R. Snow, Esq., of Nokesville, Prince William County, Va. Mrs. Snow has for many months been in declining health, under the blighting influence of consumption, and her death, although not unexpected, was none the less a shock to the loving family and sympathizing friends of this estimable lady, in whose life was illustrated all the virtues of her sex. The remains will reach this city this evening, and will be conveyed hence to Mexico, Oswego County, New York, (her native place) for interment.


[Laura E. (Whitney) Snow is buried with her family in Mexico Village Cemetery. --cgl]
