His occupation was in the retail hardware business. The 1940 census stated he was half-owner of a retail hardware store.
The 1900 census listed his birth year as 1863 which differs from his death certificate which said 1862 and listed his first name spelled Shelly. As you can see, his grave stone says 1862 and Shelley.
Does anyone in the family have any documentation on both his correct birth year and spelling of his first name?
