Son of Alexander P. Shatto and Sarah Jane Taylor
Married Myrtle Mary Tule. Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania
Children:
August Laverne Shatto - 8 August 1903
Dorothy Carrie Shatto - 30 August 1910
Howard Albert Shatto - 15 May 1927
Albert was the seventh of eleven children in his family. His father was a veteran of the famous Pennsylvania Bucktails Regiment in the civil war and was a farmer and day laborer.
Albert made his livelihood as a worker in a dye plant. He was fairly well known in Williamsport, appearing several times in news items, once as a witness in a 1913 murder trial along with his good friend, Fred Goldy, the two having found the body. A most amusing article appeared in 1911 with Fred Goldy, the other principal regarding an election bet that became a community event:
PAID HIS BET LAST EVENING
The Wheelbarrow Parade Had a Large and Enthusiastic Audience of Boys
In order to settle an election wager on the recent judgeship contest Albert Shatto, of 801 Tucker street last evening wheeled Fred Goldy, of Loyalsock township in a wheelbarrow from the lower end of East Third street to Market square and return.
The vehicle was gaily decorated with red, white and blue bunting and Chinese lanterns, suspended from a wire, adorned each side. The wheelbarrow was also provided with a soft cushion seat for the comfort of the occupant whose avoirdupois slightly exceeds 238 pounds. the participants were followed by a large and enthusiastic crowd of men, women and children.
The start was made from the road leading into the dye works, below the city line, promptly at 7:30, and the square was reached at 7:55. Two short stops were made, of three minutes each, so that the actual wheeling time, for a distance of over a mile, was 19 minutes. The return trip was made in about the same time. This is going some with a 238-pound wheelbarrow load, and proves that Mr. Shatto is game to the core.
