Talk:Ocey Snead

Untitled
Mary Wardlaw Snead, the murderer, is deemed to be her aunt, mother-in-law, and her grandmother - which is it? --Hooperbloob 18:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Clarification:
 * "was drugged and drowned in East Orange, New Jersey by her own grandmother.."
 * "Mary L. Wardlaw (1849-?) who had married Fletcher Tillman Snead (1829-1891), was Ocey's aunt, and mother-in-law. "

 * I fixed the one line and made grandmother into aunt. I also changed the opening line to: "killed by her family". I really have to do more to tell about the trial, and who drugged her. I just wrote what I did, so that I could keep the people straight while I reading about the trial in the New York Times archive. The names are confusing because first cousins married.

This article is very muddled and lacking in a coherent presentation of facts regarding the event (her murder) that supposedly makes this woman notable enough for a Wikipedia article. It also contains repititious information regarding family members and their birthdate. I have attempted to edit and clarify. 165.189.169.190 (talk) 19:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

The article cited is a book review and does not contain the information it is supposedly verifying.&mdash; D'Ranged 1  VTalk  13:23, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
