His World War 1 Draft Registration card, dated June 5, 1917, lists Charles Leonard Reel, of Dudley, Kootenai, Idaho born May 3, 1890 in Sturgis, South Dakota. He listed his occupation as farmer and said his father was solely dependent on him for support. He lists his age as 26 and states he is single. He also claims exemption from the draft on the grounds of physical disability. The nature of the disability is listed but unreadable. Possibly says asthma. It says he is of medium height and build with gray eyes. [2]
Charles Reel died April 24, 1978. His last residence was Brush Prairie, Washington and he is buried at Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Vancouver, Washington. [3][4]
