[Note: Obituaries for three of the children of Norman and Lucina (ROGERS) SNOW list her as a surviving sibling. Her own obituary lists her cousin Jennie (PETRIE) COUNTRYMAN as her sister. But a Clayton, NY marriage record makes it clear that Minnie J. SNOW was the daughter of John Millard SNOW. Lacking additional information, one can only speculate on why this confusion existed in the family over who her parents were.]
