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.
