General Notes: Husband - George Grant Snowden

---

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the schools of his birth-place. About the year 1900, in association with his brother, James H. Snowden, he founded an oil firm under the name of Snowden Brothers, of Oil City (later Snowden-McSweeney.) The venture was highly successful, and as a business man he amassed a fortune.
In politics Mr. Snowden was a Republican, but never allowed himself to be made a candidate for office. He was a thirty-second degree Mason, and some of his clubs were the Myopia, of Boston, the Essex North Shore, also of Boston, where the family spent many summers, and the Racquet and Merion Cricket, of Philadelphia. He and his family were members of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church. During the years between 1910 and 1917 Mr. Snowden and his family lived in Indianapolis, Indiana, and while there he was active in the Tabernacle Church.
It has been said of Mr. Snowden that he possessed the greatest of all assets-personality-and it might have been added that his personality was not forceful only, but extremely magnetic. Keen and brilliant as a business man, he was endowed, also, with a mentality which fitted him to appreciate to the full the finer things of life. He loved literature, and delighted in the companionship of his friends. A quick sense of humor lent a genial charm to his conversation. As his portrait bears witness he was a man of distinguished appearance, of medium height, with a clear, ruddy, English complexion. One of his chief amusements was the game of golf, of which he was passionately fond.
The Snowden estate, "Highland Hall," was one of the most attractive on the Main Line, Philadelphia.
