Leonard Snook

Leonard Humphrey Snook (1919 - 1974) was a factory worker and lifelong resident of Port Arthur, Ontario.

Early life

Leonard Humprey Snook was born in 1919, on or before 25 May, since his obituary says he died at 56 on 25 May 1974 and possibly other sources (perhaps Ancestry.com?) say he was born in 1919.

He was born in Port Arthur to Edward Langley Snook and Eliza Snook.

He had no wife or issue.

Death

He lived with his mother at 120 North High Street at the time of her death in 1971 and continued to live in that house until his own untimely death three years later.

He died unexpectedly at age 56 on 25 May 1974, perhaps of diabetes since his obituary asked mourners to donate to the Diabetic Society.
