Oceana Wardlaw Martin Snead (September 1885 – November 29, 1909) also known as Ocey Snead, was drugged and drowned in East Orange, New Jersey, by her own family to collect $32,000 () in insurance money.
== Birth and family ==
Oceana was born in September 1885, probably in Manhattan, New York, New York, to Caroline B. Wardlaw (c. 1850–1913), and Colonel Robert Maxwell Martin, who had fought for the Confederacy in the American Civil War. Her mother had a career in education, at one point being removed from a position due to unstable behavior. She got her nickname, Ocey, because she frequently garbled her real name in her baby talk.
Caroline Wardlaw had three sisters, who were Ocey's aunts. The elder sister was Mary E. Long Wardlaw (1849-1937), who married Fletcher Tillman Snead (1829–1891). Together they produced a son, Fletcher Wardlaw Snead (1875–1955),〔 (Use the search form to retrieve the record for Fletcher Snead.)〕 who was Ocey's first cousin and would become her husband. The second sister was Virginia Oceana Wardlaw (1852–1910) who never married. Both sisters were also involved in education. Both of Ocey's aunts were also implicated in her murder. The third sister, who was not implicated in her murder, Bessie Gertrude Wardlaw ( 1867-1954) who married Richard Spindle (1855-1928).
The three siblings were the daughters of Martha Elizabeth Wardlaw, née Goodall (1828–1910), and John Baptist Wardlaw (1817–1896), a minister and South Carolina Supreme Court justice. The sisters were known for dressing in black at almost all times and for their secretive behavior. One report indicated the sisters performed strange rituals at night in the Sunset Cemetery at Christiansburg, Virginia. Several strange deaths followed the women in their later lives.
