SNOW:  In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], June 16th, Mr. Henry Snow, aged 78 years.

Another aged citizen has gone from our midst.  Henry Snow, for sixty odd years a highly respected inhabitant of this town, died at the residence of his nephew, Walter M. Conkey, on Tuesday, the 14th, at the advanced aged of 78 years.  Mr. Snow with his widowed mother removed from Stonington, Conn., to this place, early in the present century, when the country was new and was directly identified with the growth and prosperity of the infant settlement, which he tried to see become a growing and prosperous village.  He here learned the carpenter's trade and subsequently carried on the cabinet business in connection with house building for a number of years.  For twenty-five years he was engaged with Abner Warner in the manufacture of carriages, the firm of Snow & Warner at once acquiring an enviable reputation, both on account of the excellence of their work and for their integrity, a reputation which has been well maintained by the surviving partner to this day.

Mr. Snow was strictly, proverbially honest, his word being considered as good as his bond.  We cannot better exemplify his probity and his uniformly mild disposition than in the words of him whose long intimate business and social relations give the right of authority to what he utters.

Mr. Warner, standing beside his coffined remains, with much feeling remarked:  "We have been partners for twenty-five years, and I cannot recall a single instance when there was the least misunderstanding or when a single unkind word ever passed between us."

This is saying much for human nature, especially as we find it now a days, yet from what we know of Mr. Warner and know of the deceased, we can readily give full credence to the expression. Always quiet and unobtrusive, the last years of Mr. Snow have been mostly passed within a circle of his friends and a few acquaintances, remarkably free from ostentation or show.  He was younger by some four years than his brother Capt. William Snow, who died about twelve months since.  Neither had ever married.  The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon.

Death of Alfred Hartwell:  This estimable young man died suddenly at Milford, Delaware, on the 14th inst., aged about 24 years.  He was the only son of Thompson Hartwell, late of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY].  and was much respected by all who knew him.  A Milford paper gives the following particulars of his death:  "His death was sudden and unexpected and has cast a gloom over the circle of friends he had gathered around him during his residence in our midst.  He accompanied the Presbyterian Sunday school on their excursion to Lewis on Tuesday the 7th instant and was then in his usual good health and fine spirits.  On Friday, the 10th, he was taken sick, but his illness, at first, did not cause much uneasiness to himself or friends; it soon however developed into a disease that baffled the skill of his physicians and at 5 o'clock on Tuesday evening his spirit took its flight for the unknown world."
