Source:Hopkins-1924-vol-3 shows J. E[dgar] Snively as the owner of a house abutting Sharp Alley (on Hays Street three houses east of Euclid Avenue) and the only owner of adjacent property at that time whose name began with the letter S. But this cannot really be the source of the name, because Snively bought this property on January 27, 1921: Pittsburg Press, Feb. 2, 1921, p. 6 (Newspapers.com 145636239).
