  General Notes:

The World War I Draft Registration Card for Lancaster Co., PA for Lewis Stively dated Sept 12, 1918 records his date of birth as March 23, 1875. His nearest relative is Jennie Stively of New Providence. He is medium height and build with blue eyes and dark hair. He signed his card Louis Stively ... and that's right ... the card is hand written indexed as Lewis Stively but signed Louis Stively. Also, his date of birth here is March 23, 1875; however, his death certificate records March 1, 1877 ... since the informant was his wife, 3rd wife, married much later in life, this researcher will record March 23, 1875 as the DOB. Finally, Lewis' head stone reads Louis Stively / 1876 - 1961. What's in a name ...
