  • William Snailham and family– William Snailham and wife Viola, photo possibly taken in Stewiacke, N.S. Canada, where William Sr's grandmother had a farm (based on info from my father William Snailham Jr.). The children are William Snailham Jr. (my father in his mothers arms) and sister Gloria (now deceased). Undated photo, however since William Jr. is a baby, and he was born in August 1932, it would be safe to say the picture is circa 1932 or 1933.
