The VETERAN for December {1911} contained an interesting sketch of Capt. William Penn Snowden, a native of Tennessee, whose family moved to Mississippi when he was a lad of five years. His death occurred at Aberdeen on October 8, 1910.
The engraving herewith given will be a pleasing reminder of the genial, generous gentleman who was a gallant Confederate soldier of Company F, 11th Mississippi Regiment. He participated in many of the severest battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia. At Sharpsburg the regiment lost every field officer and Comrade Snowden was severely wounded. It is reported that the regiment lost all but two of its twenty two officers, and but ninety of four hundred and forty six privates.
Comrade Snowden was married soon after the war to Miss Henson, who lived only a short while, leaving one daughter, now Mrs. Dr. Crease, of Bakersfield, Cal. In 1875 he married Miss Mollie Bush, his "guiding spirit" for eighteen years, when he was left again alone. Two daughters had blessed this union, who are now Mrs. J. S. Cavett and Mrs. A. McIntosh, of Noxubee County, Miss. His surviving wife was Mrs. Will Hodges, who was his loving helpmeet and a fond mother to his orphan children. He was esteemed by all who knew him, and leaves a good name.
