Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Private Raymond B. Snow, of Company C, Fifteenth Cavalry, United States Army, died from congestion of the brain in post hospital, Fort Myer, Va., on Saturday of last week.  Deceased was the son of LaMott and Ella A.

Root, on Morse avenue.  Besides the sister mentioned there are two others surviving, Mrs. George Kennedy, of Oneida, and Mrs. C.D. Williams, of Norwich, and one brother, G.W. Snow, of Oneida.  The floral offerings at the funeral included eight pieces from the captain and comrades of his troop.  The bearers were five cousins and a nephew of the deceased, Ethan Elliott, Ary Elliott, Daniel Elliott, Howard Curnalia, Warren Snow and Leslie Root.  Rev. Ira W. Bingham officiated and the interment was made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].  [Glen Buell Collection, Guernsey Memorial Library, Norwich, NY]
