Lightfoot (lacrosse)

Lightfoot, whose Anglicised name was Beman Laurence Snow, was a lacrosse player who won a bronze medal for Canada at the 1904 Summer Olympics with the Mohawk Indian team. Born on 18 January 1877 on the Cattaraugus Reservation in New York, he was a Seneca and, as Olympedia notes, appears to have lived his entire life in the United States even though he played for a Canadian side that probably came from the area around Brantford, Ontario. He married Ida Starr in Oklahoma in 1904 and, after her death in 1907, married Rachel Henry; he had one daughter by Starr and three sons by Henry. He died in Seminole, Oklahoma, on 26 December 1933. He is not known to be related to the singer Gordon Lightfoot.
