He was adopted by his maternal grandfather, Hiram Florence, after both of his parents died. The family story has been that Cora Florence married a Henry Kent, and they had Sheldon but I can't find any records to confirm or deny this. She would have been about 3 years younger and they both lived in Williams township. I don't believe even my grandfather was completely sure about his parents.
