Albert Calice SHORKEY

1893 - 1963  (69 years)

• Name	Albert Calice SHORKEY
  	Albert inherited family farm in Cornwall VT from father JOSEPH. First 2 children born there. Sold farm in 1920s and moved to Watervliet, NY. There he worked for Niagara Power as lineman and later a supervisor and trainer. Albert was inducted into the US ARMY in Nov 1917 to serve in World War One. He trained at Camp Greene in Charlotte NC, which ironically became the home for 3 grandsons in the 1980's and 90's. He is listed as being assigned to the 151st Depot Brigade. Appears he never went overseas like the rest of the camp on 27 Dec 1917 as his service record never shows him in the 41st Infantry Division. Looks like Albert was assigned to the base hospital. Family lore is he was being trained as a medic. 2013 will not be remembered as a good year, as all 3 of the last siblings died within 7 months.
