B.F. SNOW DROPS DEAD AT HOME



Tift County, Ga.



B.F. Snow, well known Tift county farmer, dropped dead at his home in west 

Tift county, Ga., on the G.W. Peters place, about 2:20 Monday afternoon. Mr. 

Snow had been chopping wood and stopped to grind his axe and dropped dead.



The sudden death of Mr. Snow was a great shock to his family and a large 

number of friends throughout this section. It is said that he ate a hearty 

dinner Monday and apparently was in his usual health until he was stricken 

and fell, dying before medical aid could reach him.



Funeral services were held at three o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Ty Ty 

Baptist church of which he was a faithful and loyal member, conducted by 

Rev. D.C. Rainey. Interment was in the Ty Ty cemetery with Bowen's Funeral 

Home in charge of arrangements.



Benjamin Franklin Snow was born in Cleburne county, Alabama on June 10, 1865 

and was in his seventieth year. He married Miss Lou Overton of Alabama and 

she survives him with 10 children, E.C. and W.B. Snow of Tifton; Mrs. L.C. 

Whitten of Tampa, Fla.; Mrs. C.H. Hand of Atlanta; Mrs. L. Pearman of 

Tifton; Mrs. George Fowler of Alabama; Mrs. Tom Stephenson, Miss Myrl Snow, 

Mrs. W.M. Bryan, Miss Bertie Lou Snow, of Tifton. One child, Delbert, died 

at the age of four in Alabama. Two brothers and three sisters also survive; 

Tom Snow of Fort Worth, Texas; W.T. Snow of Hopewell, Ala.; Mrs. C.G. 

Farmer, Mrs. L.D. Walker of Bowdon, Ga., and Mrs. Mollie Abercrombie of 

Alabama.



Mr. Snow was a good farmer and moved to this section 16 years ago from 

Alabama. He was an honorable and upright man, a good citizen, and a host of 

friends join in extending sympathy to the family in their great bereavement.
