EDWIN O. SNOW
(Of Snow & Co., Merchants, Atlanta)
---Mr. Snow has been engaged in his present business since the fall of 1883. His firm carries an excellent stock of general merchandise and has a substantial and steadily increasing trade. They keep a good class of goods and sell them at prices which protect them from injury by competition, for they can not be undersold by any other house in the county. Dealing fairly with their customers, they retain their confidence and make their house one of growing popularity. Mr. Snow is, himself, a man of good education and business experience, and being a man of popular manners and address, he could hardly fail in success in any ordinary circumstances. He is a native of Michigan, born in the county of Kalamazoo, December 26, 1853. A sketch of his father's family appears on a former page of this work. Edwin O. was 13 years of age when they came to Macon county, and the remainder of his youth was spent on the farm in this county. Besides a good common-school education which he acquired, he attended business college, after which he returned to the farm and remained there until 1878. He now removed to Kansas and was engaged in farming and stock-raising there for about four years. From Kansas, in the fall of 1882, he went to Nebraska and engaged in the grocery business at Hastings. The following year, however, he sold out at Hastings and came back to Macon county, and engaged in his present business at Atlanta. On the 29th of December, 1876, Mr. Snow was married to Miss Cora M. Davies, a daughter of William Davies, of this county, but formerly of Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Snow was reared and educated at Baltimore, where she received an advanced education. She made a specialty of the study of instrumental music, and became highly accomplished in that department. She taught instrumental music several years, and was regarded as one of the finest pianists in the city. Mrs. Snow is a lady of superior musical talent and culture, and is highly prized in the best society of Atlanta and this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Snow have two children: Milo Herbert and Gilbert E. Mrs. Snow is a member of the Baptist Church.
