My Grandfather Ezekiel NMN Shafer, died in 1921, so I never knew him. He was a ‘typewriter’ employed by the Department fo The Navy in Newport News, in Newport News, Virginia in 1906, where he and Myrtle Lynch married. He left the Navy and was employed by The Department of The Interior, going to Orland, California, working with Civil Engineers on irrigation projects. I found his pocket-sized daily journal with Shorthand notes, and I can read them all. They were the apples, newspapers, stamps, etc that he used his $1 a day government per diem to pay for. He returned to West Virginia after that job.
