Univ Nevada Oral History Project: "...Anna Cleary married
John Shirley. And what do you know of John and Anna? John originally
was from Virginia. He came out West when he was about eighteen
with a brother. And John came from Virginia to Silver Peak .
. . . Right, to work the mines, or he bought some of the mines.
He was in his forties when he met and married Anna. She was sixteen
at that time...Will you name the other children. There was Louis
Shirley; Ernie Shirley who married Ruby, the postmaster; and
Ada Louise and Cora both died when they were two or younger.
Anna had five miscarriages. And then there was my mother, Jane
Shirley."
Genforum: "John Shirley and his brother, Joseph were
my grandmother's uncles [sic]. My grandmother, Garnet Olivia
Shirley, was born in Heathsville, VA, daughter of George D. Shirley
and Florence Ada Burroughs. John and Joseph survive in my family's
legacy because of a wonderful photo taken of these two men with
my grandmother around age 9. They had returned to Heathsville
for a visit, maybe a wedding, or maybe my great grandmother's
(Florence A. Burroughs Shirley's) funeral. These uncles had returned
from Nevada after striking it rich in silver mining."
