The Lewis Family WWI Draft Registration
Morgan Co., KY
Abstracted and donated by Ethelyn Coffey
During World War I, all males between the ages of 18 and 45 were
required
to register for the draft. Five different cards were used, each
with
different information, except for age and date of birth. The
value
of these cards lies in the birth dates listed. Other information
which
might be found is place of birth, father’s place of birth and nearest
relative.
Registrants appear in the order of appearance on the indicated
film.
The names have been spelled according to the man’s signature.
While
a clerk filled out most of the registration card, the registrant signed
the
care in most cases. All names have been double checked for
accuracy.
