After last week's detour, we will finis up the photograph of the four
movers and shakers that I posted a few weeks ago. This week we
have the fourth and last man in the photo. This is Engineer
Randolph Earl Snediker who began his service with the Canal in
1910. I couldn't find a whole bunch of information about him but
being in the presence of Hallen, Claybourn and Butters, he was up in
the ranks of mover and shaker. I found in one of the Society of
the Chagres yearbooks that Snediker's title was Construction and
Engineering Forman and retired after lengthy service with the
Canal. He moved to Columbia after retirement and then to
Jacksonville, Florida in 1953. He died on February 27,
1966. He was suvived by his wife Mrs. Ana Zuleta Snediker and
two daughters.
Snediker was a Roosevelt Medal recipient
- Medal # 1928 - Bar
1 #1678, Bar 2 #803, Bar 3 #544
Next
week we will have yet another group photo of movers and shakers of the
Canal construction days and the Society of the Chagres story.
