That was the start of a long research adventure. Who was G.A.Snider? What was he doing in Ottawa? What was his family history?
It's all told in a book and was recounted to a spellbound audience at Friday's Historical Society of Ottawa Meeting.
The sign dates from the early 1890s, preserved for decades by being sheltered by an adjacent building.
You can read the Snider story and about the research undertaken in a book in two parts, free online, made available by Mr Simkover (see below). It may be of particular interest to those researching the names of the descendants of Frederick George Snider, Senior(1793-1877):
