According to family genealogies, his name was "Harvey Newton Snow" but he was always known as "Harve" and that is what is on his gravestone. His parents were George Washington Snow and his wife, Narcissa (Webb) Snow. His Snow family heritage went back to Bedford County, Virginia, and from there to Lincolnshire, England.
