This is the story about Grandpa Shorter's Gifts
Believe it or not, it all starts with a grandpa. My grandpa’s grandpa in fact. Homer Shorter moved to Northern Michigan in 1860, just a few years after white settlers began to homestead Emmet County. He homesteaded on the banks of the Maple River in 1885 where he stayed until his death in 1932. The Emmet County Graphic called him a “Pioneer Resident of the County”.
