[or-roots] WWI Draft Registration Cards

[Ronda Howard]

Hi Pat,

What list are you looking on?  I’m still wondering if prisoners were required to register.

Thanks,

Ronda

I’d be betting not, but stranger things have happened.

 

There were fifteen Charles Howards on the list. Nine Howards were registered in Marion County, but no Charles. 

 

I see from the 1920 that Charles was born about 1886.  The few born between 1884 and 1885 were Charles Francis, Charles Joseph, Charles Robert. The next is 1888.

Hi all,

I just read an article on WWI draft cards.  The article said there was four registrations;

 

June 5, 1917 for men 21 - 31 years old

June 5, 1918 for men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1917

August ? 1918 for men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1918 and

Sept. ? 1918 for men who had turned 21 since August, and those 18 - 20, and 31 - 45 who had not registered.

 

My husband's brickwall Grandfather Charles Howard was in the Oregon State Penitentiary during that time.  I was wondering if any of you know if you were in prison did you have to register?

Thanks,

Ronda
