Jacob Shirah and Lovey Smith were his grandparents. Robert W.G. Shirah and Catherine B. (Kittie) McGlamery were his parents. He apparently did not get along well with his family, all of his estate was left to Frances Criswell Thralls. The remaining family members promply filed a law suit. Not that it did them a lot of good. The family Bible mentioned in the death certificate is not to be found. Thanks Helen Shirah Hudson Perry,
