Most probably son of Benedict Schori & Elizabeth Schwab on suggestive but not conclusive evidence.

Married: Beatrice Dona Dampier between 1925-1930 in San Francisco.
Children:
Son - 7 May 1932 (living)

He consistently puts his birth date as 13 December 1886 on his WWI & WWII draft registrations despite the one on his death certificate of a year later.

His WWII Draft registration states he was born in Kopelan Switzerland. Arnold's 1917 WWI registration gives the name of Oscar Schori as his closest relative. Oscar, cook at the Palace Hotel, and wife Emma are living in San Franciso at the time and are also buried in this cemetery.

Said Oscar's WWII Draft Registration states he was born in Kappelen bei Aurberg, Bern, Switzerland; and Oscar's death certificate states his parents were Benedict Schori and Elizabeth Schwab. Kappelen is a municipality in the Seeland district of Bern Canton.

Arnold Schori, Swiss, age 2, appears on the passenger list of the SS La Bourgogne arriving New York 24 June 1889 from Havre. His is in the company Fritz Schori, age 33, also Swiss.

He first shows up definitively in the records in the 1909-1922 San Francisco city directories, occupation conductor, motorman & laborer. In 1930 and 1940 he is a laborer and a metal worker.
