"Prominent Utah Wool Buyer Succumbs in S. L. Hospital --- Colleagues Express Sorrow as Illness Proves Fatal to Warren C. Snow.

"Warren C. Snow, 67, 18 U Street, prominent intermountain wool buyer, died Wednesday in a local hospital following a long illness.

"At the time of his illness, Mr. Snow was district representative of Munro-Kincaid-Edgehill, Inc., wool buying concern of Boston. Previous to this he was head of the local office of Eisemann Brothers company, Boston, but most of his career in the wool buying business was spent as manager of the local office of Jeremiah Williams company, also of Boston.

"Born at Manti --- He was born at Manti, August 15, 1870, a son of Joseph and Ellen Van Buren Snow. As a young man he was intensely interested and active in dramatics.

"In 1897, he was appointed secretary of the Central Utah Wool company and was later a buyer for that firm. He married Kate Crawford in 1899 and couple made their home in Manti until 1912 when they moved to Salt Lake City where they have since lived.

"Mr. Snow was one of the best known wool buyers of the west and was identified for many years as an owner and operator of ranch properties. He also was interested in banking, business and utility enterprises.

"Express Sorrow --- Wool growers and buyers throughout the intermountain region Wednesday expressed their sorrow at his death. Words of praise for his character and fair business methods were voiced unanimously by officials of the industry in which Mr. Snow was a pioneer.

"Surviving are his widow and two daughters, Mrs. M. Lynn Bennion, Salt Lake City, and Mrs. Lund Johnson, Oakland, Cal.; three sisters, Mrs. Charles Riddle and Mrs. Andrew L. Neff, Salt Lake City, and Mrs. George Black, Tooele, and a brother, E. V. Snow, Salt Lake City.

"Tribute to the veteran wool buyer was paid by A. W. McKinnon of Price, president of the Carbon-Emery bank and Price Commission company, in a telegram received by Mrs. Snow. The telegram read:

"The death of W. C. Snow will be felt as a personal loss to the livestock men of eastern Utah. The sheepmen will particularly miss his annual visits which he had been making for the past 30 years for the purpose of buying their wool. In that time he earned the respect, admiration and confidence which the livestock men hold for him, and he was well known by all of them. In addition, he had other livestock and business interests in eastern Utah to which he devoted much of his time. The loss of his counsel will be greatly felt by his associates."

"Funeral services will be conducted Sunday at 1 p.m. in the Twenty-seventh L.D.S. ward chapel, 185 P street."
