Bev, SS does not have a Chesley Hamrick. It has 5 Chester Hamricks but they were born after 1900. Who was the Archibald you mentioned?

Does anyone know about Chesley or Chester Hamrick, born about 1890, son of Edmund Hamrick of Shelby, NC? He traveled the world, working on steamships and ocean liners, hopping railroad cars. I have wondered if he ever married. He probably died in the late 1950's. Bev Barnes
