Alvin is found living with his mother and/or grandmother, returned under two different surnames, Hamaker 1920: WI, Outgamie Co, Deer Creek Two; Greenwood 1930: CA, Los Angeles Co, Los Angeles. He appears as a Shatto in the 1940 CA, Los Angeles, East Los Angeles under Lawrence Shatto and his mother. He is found as a Shatto thereafter.
A WWII Navy veteran who served on the USS Ramsay, (originally WWI destroyer DD-124 reclassified as a light mine layer DM-16 prior to WWII, that was in port at Pearl Harbor 7 December 1941. The Ramsay received and returned fire during the Japanese attack, was immediately ordered to sea to patrol for submarines and engaged what is thought to have been a midget 2-man sub. Depth charges produced an oil slick and 8 days later another attack on a suspected sub produced the same. When the Ramsay returned to Pearl the crew was astounded by the degree of destruction as they had been birthed on the opposite side of Ford Island from battle ship row. He also served on the Attack Transport USS LaPorte APA-151 later in the war bringing troops to the Philippines and then supporting the invasion of Okinawa.
His father was WWI navy veteran and awardee of the Navy Cross.
