Why would three guys sign a man's World War I Draft Registration card under the certification part? Could it have been because the man claimed "Eyes deficient" as grounds for exemption? The man in question is Marcus Lawson Kinsey (who married into my Norman family) and here are the signatures:
The signatures occur under the statement “I certify that my answers are true, that the person registered has read his own answers, that i have witnessed his signatgure, and that all of his answers of which I have knowledge are true, [except?] as follows:"
Input appreciated!
Hmmm. Very interesting. I like your theory and I'll be curious to see if someone Has actual experience with a situation like this.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - If I can keep from getting distracted, I might take a stab at identifying the people who signed the card.
DeleteI was going to say maybe one is a Dr that said his eyes were deficient, but I don't see a MD after any name.
ReplyDeleteJenna - That was my thought, and I don't even see any comments added by any of the signers - I have seen comments entered on other cards in this section. However, I may try to see who these people were.
