Mrs. S. A. C. Snow

Wife of J. W. Snow, SR.

Who was a daughter of Jonas Hale, one of the first settlers of Walton, and 
sister to R. H. Hale and W. T. Hale, departed this life May 13, 1890.  Thus 
ends the life of one of the best women I ever knew.  As a neighbor, she was 
faultless, and untiring in her good deeds and as a wife and mother was kind and 
affectionate, and faithful to perform all duties incumbent upon her.  She was a 
noble, Christian woman, always ready to reprove wrong, and hold up for the 
right.  It is said true and undefiled religion is to visit the sick and the 
afflicted, then she was a Christian in the true sense of the word.  We have 
lost her association, her example, a light and moral guide.  We have known her 
so long and have loved her so well it is indeed sad and a sore affliction to 
give her up.  Yet we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who in His 
infinite wisdom doeth all things well; hence, we exclaim in the language of 
Job, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, Blessed be the name of the 
Lord."  Having the evidence as consolation from her dying lips that she saw and 
was going to that Beautiful Home of which she spoke so much for several days 
previous to her death.  We are fully satisfied that our loss is her gain.  She 
has gone before us, yet, her good works are with us, which have their influence 
over us, and her memory will remain ever green and fresh.  We feel glad that 
her lot has been cast with us, and that we feel better by the influence of her 
high moral and Christian character--more able to fight the battles of life in 
renewed determination to contend for the right condemn the wrong.  She has 
fought a good fight; she has kept the faith, she has finished her course!  Our 
hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved family and relatives.  Trusting that 
they will all keep the promises made to meet her above.  "She is asleep, yes, 
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep; From whence none ever wake to weep."  A Neighbor
