The sub then served under their own name, not the drafted man's name.<br /><br />2. They should never have been a part of the draft due to age, disability, etc.<br /><br />I learned so much from Amy's lecture!<br /><br />LisaLisa Swanson Ellamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845774053431903046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119019443536726183.post-78877763744722516262013-04-16T17:03:28.865-04:002013-04-16T17:03:28.865-04:00I would to know more about why folks enlisted (sig...I would to know more about why folks enlisted (signed up for the draft) but didn't serve. And I'd love to know if there was a record as to why that next step wasn't taken.

The cemetery has seen a lot of problems with badly kept records, missing stones, etc. and we had no knowledge of William Guthridge. Now we can see if his headstone is missing, or just buried.Linda Herrick Swisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548137363655417250noreply@blogger.com
