The fact that Sylvanus L. SHORES does not appear in the 1900 US Census for Somerset County, MD as either Sylvanus or Levin - and his son Willie L. SHORES is listed as living with an uncle - offers circumstantial evidence that Sylvanus was dead by 1900. His spouse, Mary WEBSTER, may also have died by that date, but this possibility requires more investigation,
