Shtml "at that time there lived a brigadier mikhail ivanovich schnee (schnee), commandant of the fortress of kexholm. He was married to a beautiful polish woman, teresa ivanovna, née schenhof, the daughter of a polish general who was commandant in lemberg. My great-grandmother (teresa ivanovna schnee), who died in 1802 at the age of ninety, left behind her memory in family legends. As a child, she sat on the laps of charles xii and peter the great, and was almost the goddaughter of the latter. She was appointed to be a nun, as the second daughter; but, due to her cheerful and playful nature, she therefore renounced it in every possible way, and finally, in her place, her elder sister, who felt an inclination to the hermit life, took the tonsure. Teresa, with a cheerful character, she was gifted with second sight: she often had a presentiment and foresaw what would happen. Once a general died in lemberg. Getting ready for the funeral, therese stood in front of the mirror and amused herself with grimaces and antics. Suddenly she saw a pale, tall figure in a green robe standing behind her and sternly shaking his finger at her. Therese turned around - there was no one; it was just her imagination. But what was her fright when that same evening she saw in the coffin this very same figure in a green robe, unknown to her until then! she had several more such adventures, which i do not remember. She married captain schnee, who rose through marriage to the rank of brigadier. She had sons whom i did not know, and three daughters - katerina, maria and christina, all beauties. ". Date: 1777.
