Notes:

The 1928 Los Angeles City Directory showed Alton as a salesman at Howard Motor Company. On the 1930 census, he was listed a a First Aid Man at a movie studio.

The June 4, 1948 issue of the Cass City Chronicle had an article about Pvt. Harold Creguer's trip to Hollywood. He mentioned in the article that he visited with former Cass City residents Mr. and Mrs. Grover Blades of Glendale and Mrs. Barbara McDermott of Alhambra. He also noted that one of the highlights of his trip was a meeting with Alton McDermott at the Warner Brothers studio.

(Research):
Also the father of Noralee Ellen McDermott, born on 30 July 1941, according the the Striffler-Benkelman Broadcast, dated 1 Sept 1941. The California Birth Index shows her Mother's Maiden Name as LICKILLS, so Noralee appears to have been born to a second wife.
