Facts and Events
Listed in the 1860 Choctaw County, Alabama Census as Silas D. Shoemaker, age 1, born AL. With parents and siblings. Listed in the 1870 Choctaw County, Alabama Census as Silas Dean Shoemaker, age 10, born AL, attended school within the year. With parents and siblings. Listed as Postmaster for Silas, Choctaw County, Alabama on 6/24/1881. Prior to 1880 there were only 4 families in the area, one of which was the Shoemakers (Of our family line). I presume the Shoemakers ran the General store as family tradition says they would claim they were "Shoemakers in name and trade". Silas became the postmaster of the city. http://www.silasal.com/index.html |
