Researcher Notes
- James birth delayed birth record list his birth place as Fort Smith, Arkansas, but his WWI and WWII draft cards list it as Crawford County, Missouri. He did not apply for a birth certificate until 1972. Given his draft cards were filled out before this time, and that his parents held from Missouri, I believe the draft cards are correct.
