Metoxen, Shirley Mae (John) Born 12/15/1947 in Sturgeon Bay Parents: Solomon Peter John & Mertle Shirley (LeMere) When she was going to school her brother flunked a grade so they where in the same class. A teracher of hers has kept insisting that they were twins and was very prejustice towards them. She got married the summer she graduated from high school. She uses the Health Center when ever she can. She got help through the tribe so she could go to nursing school. Her Christmases were very good. They would have a Christmas tree and one gift for each child. She now lives in Shawano and works there also. Her and her husband are getting legal adoption papers for a 3 year old Indian boy that they have been raising for 1 year now. She is proud to be an Oneida. She says to the youth stay in school and get an education and always remember and respect your elders.Recording Type
