He was still single in the 1910 census, and I can't find him in 1920.

Franklin News-Herald, Wednesday, Mar 14 1928:
Ralph Rennselaer Snow, born in Franklin Oct. 17, 1871, died at his home on Shaker Heights, Cleveland, OH, at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning after a long illness.

He graduated from Franklin High School in 1889, then from Bucknell University, then Chicago University, then entered the Baptist denomination and for five years was pastor of the First Baptist Church at Marquette, MI. After taking a post-graduate course at the University of Chicago, he went to Bedford, OH, where he was pastor five or six years, rebuilding the First Baptist Church. While still in the ministry, writing sermons and briefs, he took a law course at Western Reserve school, Celveland, graduating in 1905, and later took up the practice of law in the office of Oscar J. Horn Esq. He made a host of friends who admired him for his genial qualities. One was John D. Rockefeller, with whom he was often seen when Mr. Rockefeller was in Cleveland.

He is survived by his wife; two small daughters; a brother, John McK. Snow; and a sister, Mrs. Katherine Sibley of this city.

Services will be at the home in Cleveland at 11:30 o'clock Friday forenoon, after which the body will be brought overland to the home of Mrs. Sibley on Otter Street near 14th, where services will be held at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Interment will be in Franklin Cemetery.
