Twenty years ago he came to Morgan Hill, Cal., where he resided till the time of his death. Brother Snow loved God, his church, and his fellow men, and in his death we are all losers.

He leaves a wife and four children, sixteen grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. One of his children is Elder C. M. Snow, editor of the Australian Signs of the Times. Albert E. Place.
