OLIVER AND ROSETTA
SNOW
Oliver and Rosetta Snow, who built this home in 1815,
immigrated to Mantua from Becket, Massachusetts, in
1805 with two daughters and raised five more children
here. Oliver prospered as a farmer, served Portage
County in a variety of civic capacities, and converted
to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
after meeting the church founder, Joseph Smith, in
the early 1830s. In 1838, the Snows left Ohio and
eventually settled in Illinois. Two of their children later moved to
Utah and became prominent leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints. Lorenzo, who was born on this property in 1814,
became the fifth president of the Church, serving from 1898-1901.
Eliza Roxcy Snow, an acclaimed Portage County poet, became
second general president of the Relief Society, a Latter-day Saint
women's organization.
