SHELTON, Raymond
Elmer I have been looking for my fathers family in North Dakota for many
years. He had told us he was from Wilton, N. D. but have been unable to
locate him there. He had said he ran away from home after a fight with
his father and never went home again and would not talk about it with
the family. I looked at the 1920 census for Williams County because of
the town of Williston being similiar to Wilton. I found a Theodore
Shelton, age 39 with his children, Belva, 16, Norman 14, Robert 12, and
Raymond E. 8. Also Theodores father William, 69. My fathers name was
Raymond Elmer Shelton. I am wondering if any of this family still
resides in Williams County and if anyone can tell me if that could
possibly be my father. He died in 1969. Thanks for your help. Mona

Albert homesteaded 160 acres in 1889. The info I have is that they
returned to Buford ND and are buried there. Thank you for any help.
