Is this your man?

"United States World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8QF-J52 : accessed 18 April 2016), Louis Joseph Stevenson, 1917-1918; citing Chouteau County, Montana, United States, NARA microfilm publication M1509 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.); FHL microfilm 1,684,108.

Then his contact person is Anna Helena Stevenson.  Likely his wife, since he is age 34, but maybe his mother or even a sister.  -NGP

Here is a matching marriage record.  IF this is the right man, his parents would be Tobia J Stevenson and Mary Wannermmack.  His wife would be Anna Helena Tombrink.

Hope this helps!  -NGP

Thank you so much. That really helped verify so many spellings of Wannermmack I keep running across.

Could you tell me where his mother Mary Wannermmack was born and is from and possibly her parents?
