This section of the Cemetery was re-modelled, and I was told by Cemetery Staff, the location of the grave is under this path.
Also, "The edge of square 113 combined with square 122 to create the Mound area.
Our data base (wrongly) lists 36723 as square 122, not 113."

A common grave containing 7 un-related others. Buried on 16 October 1907.

Died at 81 Worship Street.

'The Shoreditch Observer'
DEATH OF WORSHIP ST. TRADESMAN
Dr. Wynn Westcott held an inquest on Tuesday, at the Shoreditch Coroner's Court, on the body of Henry Charles Emanuel Ackland Snow, 52, coppersmith, lately carrying on business at 81, Worship street. The deceased, it will be remembered, had been a Progressive candidate on one or two occasions for the Borough Council and Guardians.

The sister of the deceased, Euphemia Snow, said her brother was in the habit of taking Epsom salts, and on Saturday evening he asked her to mix him some. While doing so witness was called downstairs, and deceased, said he would finish mixing it himself. The shop-boy went upstairs to speak to his master about his work, and shortly afterwards deceased came down to the back shop to see how some work was progressing. On returning to the front shop he exclaimed, "Oh Effie!" and fell back unconscious, expiring before a doctor could be procured. Deceased had been using cyanide of potassium that morning for experimental purposes, and she thought he had mistaken the glass containing the poison for the one containing the Epsom salts. The two glasses were close to each other, but the one containing the salts had a foot to it, while the other had not.

The Coroner: Had he ever threatened to take his life?

Witness: No, he was always disgusted with anybody who spoke of that sort of thing.

Dr. Chetwood, of Christopher street, said death was due to poisoning by cyanide of potassium.

The jury returned a verdict of "death from misadventure."

A brother of the deceased arrived just as the court rose. He had come up from Croydon, having only heard of the death that morning. He said his brother was too good a man to take his own life.
