For descendants of James Harvey Snidow (1819-1896 - a grandson of Col. Christian Snidow)

Thanks to Jan Tynan of Chicago, IL who very kindly mailed me this old Snidow photo album. Her husband Robert Tynan was a

great-grandson of James Harvey Snidow. The 1887 note on the front of this album was from C. L. Snidow 1855-1937 to his sister

Nettie (Margaret Manetta Snidow 1860-1923), two of the eight children of James Harvey Snidow. See their genealogy at the end of

the photos. C. L. Snidow married Flora Olivia Josephine Harris in VA, moved to MO between 1883 and 1885, then to Falls City,

NE. After 1889 he moved to Porter, WA where he died in 1937. Nettie never married. She is buried in Falls City, NE.

(Snidow Historian Ruth Blevins put this album with other Snidow artifacts in Pearisburg, VA)

On the back of this photo is the printed name of Jewell & Poff, Christiansburg, VA Could this photo be of James Harvey Snidow and his wife Elvina Chapman Lucas Snidow?

Could these be the four daughters of James Harvey Snidow? Did James and Elvina move to MO and NE with their grown children? (Some of this family moved to Nebraska ca. 1886-88). The

four people in this picture look to be in their twenties. So the timing seems to fit. James & Elvina’s daughters are listed below: Cornelia Ann Snidow b. July/Aug. 1853 Margaret Manetta Snidow b. 10/1/1860 Laura Virginia Snidow b. 4/12/1863 Mary Sue Chapman Snidow b. 6/22/1869

On the back of this photo is this note:
