RE: Address: 211 Alden Harry Carpenter Shirk
Mermaid; Anna E. (Flyte) Rising
Please accept my apology for the delay in responding to your request.
I am enclosing copies ofthe Sanborn Maps for 1914 and 1926. There definitely are houses at 211 & 215
Alder. I have researched the County Assessor tax files for the years 1918, 1920, 1925 and 1926 and
unfortunately did not find the name Shirk as someone who paid property taxes in Pacific Grove. For
informational purposes only, I have enclosed the ownership information for 215 Alder since that data had
been compiled.
As for your great grandmother, Anna E. (Flyte) Rising - I did not find her name. I did however find in
the 1926 Polk Directory for Pacific Grove, 2 other fhmilies with the last name Rising. Bertha had a home
at 702 Mermaid; Leonard & Henrietta lived as 420 Sinex A copy ofthe directory page is enclosed.

Newspapers
Newspapers only print Public Information
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Newspapers produce and deliver news and information which they feel is important -- most often
from public information such as arrest reports, traffic infractions, accidents, indictments,
lawsuits, jury verdicts, property records, legal notices, and many other sources of information
which is freely available to anyone at any time. Newspaper publishers do not have access to any
information which is not also available to the public at large. All information published in a
newspaper is "public information."
The use of your name in an article does not mean you own it. Newspapers deliver news on all sorts
of public matters which, in addition to information found in the public registers, may include
statements you make to a reporter or official, your photograph, background and other information
provided by you or others, rebuttals, opinions, and other information such as court-ordered
legal notices, and historical and statistical data.
"The Press of the United States of America" is constitutionally protected from interference,
including by the government. If you are an attorney, law enforcement officer, officer of the
court, or other investigator, by law you must reveal that to us.
