John Henry Williams (19 May 1869 – 7 February 1936), also known as Snowden Williams, was a Liverpool-born Welsh Labour Party politician.[1][2][3][4]
Educated in Cardiff, Oxford and at the London Hospital, he graduated with the Licence of the Society of Apothecaries (LSA) in 1902.[3][4]
He was initially employed as a ship's surgeon for the Booth Shipping Line, before becoming a general practitioner in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire.[1][4] He was elected to Burry Port Urban District Council, serving as its chairman.[3] He was also a member of Carmarthenshire County Council where he was the chairman of the health committee and of the child welfare committee.[3][5]
At the 1922 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Llanelli, and held the seat until he died from pneumonia in 1936.[2][4]
