Jensen Mother Passes To Beyond. Community Called To Mourn For One if Its Beloved Pioneer Women. Only One Son is Survivor of Family. JENSEN (Special) - On Friday August 23 at the Jensen Ward Chapel there occurred the funeral of Elizabeth Caroline Snow, one of the beloved pioneer women of Jensen, Utah.
Death occurred Wednesday morning August 26, at the Snow home. The direct cause being a stroke of paralysis about six weeks ago along with a complication of other diseases.
Mrs. Snow was born at Spanish Fork, Utah, January 6, 1873. Her father was Jeremiah Murray and her mother Mariah Neilson. Her parents coming to Jensen when she was eleven years old. There were two sisters, Sarah Peterson and Rebecca Snow, both dead; six brothers, Hyrum who died one year ago at Jensen; Andrew, Ashley Ward; Riley and John, Jensen; Jerry, Roosevelt, Utah; Stephen, Colorado. Also six half brothers and sisters, Mrs. Mary Merkley, Maeser; Mrs. Margaret Harrison, Lapoint, Utah; Samuel and Hatch Murray, Vernal; Will, Maeser; Joseph, Phoenix, Arizona. All but Joseph and Mrs. Merkley were in attendance at the funeral.
On December 27, 1893 she was married to Hugh M. Snow at Jensen, Utah. Four children were born to them: Elmer, Clara, Glade and Elsworth. Elmer is the only survivor. Elsworth and his father died in December 1928 just one day apart. The two girls died in their infancy.
Mrs. Snow, known to all as Aunt Lib, was beloved by old and young alike. Her beautiful home was the shrine for many where one was entertained in simple dignity. Flowers were everywhere, for she was a great lover of them. Hers was a generous soul and only by chance would one learn of her many generous and sacrificing acts. The writer knows of her offering the very best of a particular vegetable in her garden supply because she knew they particularly enjoyed it, yet she had never partaken of the vegetable herself.
Generous to the faults of others, hers was the happy faculty of being able to admonish or rebuke one and still retain them for a friend. Her counsel was always sound and good. When her mother died, Mrs. Snow was the oldest girl at home. Her mother called her to her side and said, "Elizabeth, unto you I commend the children." Her brothers and sisters can testify as to the faithfulness with which she bore this burden.
With all her home duties, she always found time to help in community work. For eight years she was counselor in the Relief Society being released in 1930. She was also a counselor for a time in the YLMIA. Was president of the W R club, a local organization, and was to have met at her home the week she was stricken. Mrs. Snow will be greatly missed in the community.
A large crowd including many from various communities in the county met at the house to pay their last respects. The chapel was crowded. The flower girls were were Jenne Snow, Rebecca Sorensen, Mammie Neilson and Elva Case. The pallbearers were her six nephews; Milo, Newell, Ross, Corwin and Woodrow Snow and Harlo Stewart.
Bishop Fred Wall presided. George Massey was the first speaker and Driver E. Smith the second. Each told of the sterling qualities of the deceased. Closing remarks were made by Bishop Wall who had known her all his life.
Music was furnished by a special quartet consisting of Mrs. Wallace Calder, Mrs. Mae Jorgenseon, A.G. Goodrich and Frank Postma, with Mabel Stagg at the piano who rendered the following: "Oh My Father," "Jesus Lover Of My Soul," "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" and "Rock of Ages."
The prayer was offered by Andrew Dudley and the benediction by Lloyd Merkley.
Burial was made in the Jensen Cemetery with Albert G. Goodrich dedicating the grave.
