  • Notes 

    • William Jackson Snelson moved to Seattle, King County Washington. My father went out to visit the family there before he left for World War II. We know that his daughters Rosa Mae and Clara lived with his parents in Iowa. He was married to Mary Eveline Tripp. He went to work in Chicago, Illinois at one of the meat packageing plants there to work and save money for moving his wife ane children to Chicago, Illinois. Mary Eveling Tripp Snelson put the children on the train alone, that is when itis said that he returned to Iowa and left the children with his parents. I can find no records or listings of Mary Eveline. Have listing and information about his brothers and sisters also. Do not know if he remarried. Any information or directions would be greatly appreciated. Debby 'Rose' Fohn New E mail Addy! rosefawn@@rcn.com Herman Willima Tripp--Remembering......
