Hi,
Snowdon Stephenson, b. 1886, Durham, was a school teacher in Durham and was, according to family information,
a headmaster. I've been told that while coaching a school
cricket game he was hit in the head by a ball and died of the injuries leaving his wife Margaret and two children. The date
of death is Nov. 20, 1937.
Would anyone be able to help me find a newspaper item of this and/or his obituary?
Thank you,
Kathleen

Thanks very much for the helpful information, Grant.
I should check the map -- is Newcastle near Annfield?

I received copy of similar notice posted in The Northern Echo.
The person at Darlington Library was quite helpful and gave
me names of other local papers. I had thought that there
may have been at least a small item about the unusual occurrence and will do some more looking.

Thanks very much, Jennifer. I guess it's not unusual that
the notice would be in several neighbouring community
papers.
Regards,
Kathleen

I received an e-mail today from Durham County in response
to my query.
They found report of the funeral in The Stanley News published Nov 25, 1937. Also, in the Log Books for Hare Law Board Mixed School, May 1909 to Dec 1937, they found an entry by Snowdon relating to his appointment as Head Teacher on April 1, 1924. It includes his date of birth and a reference to his training in Edinburgh.
However, as it would cost 8 pounds for these items, I'll have to wait awhile.
I really appreciate their assistance and post this for others'
information re their help.

Thank you for this, Jennifer.
Does the author mention the size of the school during that
period or any other descriptions or a photo that would add to the family history for me?
Regards,
Kathleen
