1884 - 1957

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Harold W Snow left Wednesday morning for Clinton, Ill., to take the position of stenographer to Charles R. Wescott, who was recently appointed superintendent of the Springfield division of the Illinois Central Railroad.  Supt. Wescott was a former resident of Norwich and is an uncle to Mr Snow.  Mr. Snow, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Snow, of Norwich, is a graduate of the shorthand department of the Albany Business College.  He was for a time employed at Delhi by Supreme Court Stenographer J.B. Murray.  Later he was for several years stenographer in the law office of Howard D. Newton, of this village, and for the last four years has been employed a clerk and stenographer in the office of the motive power department of the Ontario & Western under W.H. Huck.  His work has always been most satisfactory to his employers and he enters his new field, which is a decided promotion and offers better opportunities for advancement, with the best of recommendations from his former employers.  Tuesday evening Mr. Snow was tendered a reception by Photographer and Mrs. W.C. Miller and the members of the George Rider Hook and Ladder company of which he is a popular member. The company presented their departing member with a silk umbrella and voiced the sentiment of many other friends in wishing him unlimited success in his new location.
