Mayor, Maria Snowden

Very little is known about Mrs. Mayor. She was the second wife of Alfred Marshall Mayor the noted physicist. Dr. Mayor had a son, Alfred Goldsborough Mayor, by his first wife Katharine Goldsborough. So the second Mrs. Mayor had a stepson.

She and Dr. Mayor also had two children of their own, Joseph Henry and Brantz, but both these boys died young. Mrs. Mayor lived with her husband for a time in Hoboken, N. J. but they moved to Maplewood, N.J. first as a summer home and later permanently. Her stepson Alfred married Harriet Hyatt in 1900 and soon she was a grandmother. She died around 1934 at an elderly age.
