Edited summary of Mr. Acord's obituary as published in the Raleigh Register --- Oct. 24, 1975
Funeral services for Snowden L. Acord, 64, Eccles, Raleigh County, W.Va. were conducted by the Rev. Albert Phillips and the Rev. Nolan Barlow at the Melton Mortuary Chapel. Burial was in the Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens, Prosperity, W.Va.
Snowden was born on Monday, April 5, 1911, in Saxon, Raleigh County, a son of John Acord and Pearline Morris Acord.
Snowden married his first wife Della Mae Cozart in 1932 in Raleigh County. Della was born on 15 Jun 1916 in West Virginia, a daughter of Robert Cozart and Eva Polk Cozart. Della, 16, died on 12 April 1933 of tuberculosis. (Marriage record, West Virginia Vital Research Records, http://archive.wvculture.org/vrr/va_mcdetail.aspx?Id=11504081 and Della Cozart's death certificate, http://archive.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=715564&Type=Death)
Snowden and Della Marie had a child, Thomas Ray Acord. Thomas died on 22 Oct 1935 in Glen Daniel, Raleigh County, W.Va., of croup. He was two years and nine months old.
