Twenty-year-old William B. Shannahan took many pictures of the Snow Blizzard of 1898, and his collection of glass plate negatives was scanned and entered into the William B. Shannahan Collection at the Talbot Historical Society about a year ago. This very special picture that he took is of a group of men who were out clearing drifts off of the railroad tracks somewhere near Easton, Maryland, where the Shannahan family lived! William B. Shannahan was the grandfather of Will, Bob and Jennifer Shannahan, Art and Elinor Cecil, and Tom Hill.
