Kathy,
My name is Jerry shorter brother to John Alden Shorter Jr. The answer to your post is yes
Sameul Sherman Shorter was our grandfather we don't know a whole lot about him except
that he lived in Whittier Calif. where my father was born on Jan. 12th 1913. I believe my
father told me that his mother (Elma) died when he was very young and he never got to know
her. Also I believe that Samuel died when my father was about 17, I do remember him
talking about having an uncle but I can't remember his name I can't find any
records at all of Samuel. oh yes I hope that this is not a wild goose chase but I belive
that my father said that Samuel worked for some law enforcement agency in southern Ca.
