Tombstone Tuesday: Hazel V. Smith

For the next couple of weeks, I will be featuring photos from Toone's Chapel Cemetery, in Tulip, Arkansas in my Tombstone Tuesdays Posts. I took these pictures back in 2004, so the quality isn't that great. Most of the people buried in the cemetery are related to me or my family.

Rest in Peace

Treasure Chest Thursday: Albert Cary WW1 Draft Card

World War 1 Draft Card for Albert Cary

Albert Cary was the husband of Lelia Sloan. Lelia was the daughter of David & Margaret "Peggy" (Evans) Sloan, and my first cousin, three times removed. I haven't found much more information on Albert. I was able to locate a World War II Registration for a Albert Cary living in Chicago, Illinois, but with a different spouse named. Since I haven't done much research in Divorce records, I am not sure if they are the same person. The Card is below:

World War 2 Draft Card for Albert Cary

I am wondering what you think; are these two draft cards for the same person?
