"Another death, which will evoke many expressions of sympathy, is that of Mrs Ackland Snow the wife of Mr Snow of Glenthorne Road.
She had been under the care of ? doctors for some days, but succumbed on Wednesday.
The funeral will take place at Hammersmith Cemetery on Monday."

Buried 24th January 1898

On her death certificate it states:
Edith Blanche Ackland-Snow died on 19.1.1898, aged 49.
Wife of Matthew William Ackland-Snow, Plumber (Master)
at 61 Glenthorne Road, St Paul, Hammersmith, Fulham.
The cause of death was influenza, pneumonia and the informant, her son, F. A. A. Snow of West Street, Carshalton, Surrey. [Frederick]

Information obtained from the Cemeteries Department at LBHF:
There is no recorded headstone and for some reason Edith Ackland Snow is not recorded in the Daily Burial Registers - this was probably "an administrative oversight".

Matthew is buried in the same grave as Editha and the burial registers show he was removed from the district of Brockley.
Matthew purchased this grave on the death of Edith in 1898 and was recorded as living at Greyhound Road, Fulham at the time.
The burial rights to this grave expired in 1998.

Cemetery Department information on reuse of graves:
"With regard to burial rights in general, these expire after 100 years. At present the Council has no plans to re-use these graves but I cannot say what may happen in the future.
I do not think it would involve removal of the remains however."
