    3. Re: Tetter--------my grandmother used to have a rash that would break out on the inside of her wrist------her expression was, "that tetter is bothering me again." I called the Doc I work for and he stated it was a rash, similiar to contact dermatitis, as we know it today. Amy: The newsbrief I posted was the full entry. For everyone: I'm off tomorrow-------reckon I'll make another trip to the archives and get that suff on Young Royal!!!!!!!! Melissa: When I started copying the Bradley Co. WW1 Draft Reg, I found out the following: Every male from about 1871-1872 had to register whether he had a disability or not-----no man within this age group was exempt. I even found one listed as an "idiot" in Bradley Co.!! In fact I found several men from Drew Co. who were working at the mills in Warren even registered there. Since you didn't list the info that can be found in these records, here goes: There were three different forms, each giving slightly different info. One form gives age, dob, pob, race, father's pob, occupation, marital status, reason, if any for exemption, color of eyes and hair, build and height, disability if any. Another gives the same basic info except it gives nearest relative, which is always useful. The third one-------doesn't give as much info as the others, but still worth obtaining for your records. I haven't looked at the forms available at the AR Com. site for download and printing on the main AR genweb page, but all you have to do is mail a request to the Arkansas History Commission stating the county and name, plus title of microfilm, "Drew Co. WW1 Draft Reg., or any other AR county and they will mail to you. Copies are .50 and they have a minimun of 5.00 per order. Some of the things I post from newspapers can be obtained the same way----stating name of paper, town in which published, date, page, col, and brief note describing article. I'm sure a lot of you would like to have the actual article. I'll try to be more specific with the page and col with the old Advance papers for your benefit. Also the archives request you only ask for 10 copies per order. Hope this helps. Jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
