Notes for Elmer E. DUCKETT

Elmer E. Duckett, at the age of 36, registered for the WWI draft and reported that he was living at 503 11th Street, Fort Dodge, IA. His occupation is listed but hard to decipher, it appears that he listed himself as a Teamster with his employer listed as Public. He listed his wife Eva as his closest relative and reported his height as medium with medium built, gray eyes, and light hair.
