• Viola Snow Reid

  Viola Snow Reid, daughter of - Mr. & Mrs. Winfield Snow, she was a nurse at Surry County Health Department, husband of Edwin E. Reid. "ask any man, woman, or child in Surry County (unless it is a very newcomer) if he or she knows Mrs. Viola Snow Reid and the answer is sure to be in the affirmative. And Mrs. Reid's friends about as numerous as are her acquaintances. Possessing a sunny, magnetic personality, Mrs. Reid wins and holds friends with little effort, In her work in the health clinics of Surry, she has an uncanny way of convincing children and even grown-ups that the prick of a needle in an inoculation, produces no pain. Mrs. Reid was reared at Dobson, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Winfield Snow. Following her graduation from Dobson High School, she pursued a three-year course in nursing at the General Hospital, Knoxville, Tenn. After graduation she engaged in private nursing in Mount /airy and Dobson for a year. She became interested in public health work and took a special course for one year in george peabody hospital, Nashille, Tenn., in preparation for the position with the Surry County Health Department which she has held for four and one half years. In her work as assistant to the county health officer, she weoks seven hours per day, six days in the week and loves it. Five days in the week are spent in the different clinics in the county. On Tuesday she is in the main office at Mount Airy. and whether it chances to be a school clinic, a pre-natal, a tubercular, a cripple clinic or what have you, the work is equally interesting to mrs. Reid. For recreation, she enjoys tennis, swimming and the movies. Her hobby is kodaking and amateur photography, and her collection of snapshots, developed in her own studio fills several albums. Mrs. Reid's home is at Dobson, her husband is Edwin E. Reid being successfully engaged in the mercantile business and other enterprises in the Surry county seat.
