Pat, that is so very kind of you!!! I can't tell you the feeling that went through me when you said you had this Homestead Application of Jerry Knowles. A couple of other folks have asked for my address to send things, so I'll just post it here: Melissa Jones P.O. Box 64102 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 Pat, I'd love to be able to do something for you in return. You name it!! Friday I went to the Family History Center and looked at a microfilm of Drew County World War I draft registraton cards. The roll I got started with the "H" surnames, and I'm not sure how far it goes. But now I've got the idea to order all these Drew County WWI films and extract them (unless someone knows if this has already been done??). When looking at the film, I noticed 4 "Haisty"s right off the bat and thought of Carolyn. Carolyn, next time I go back, I will copy the Haisty info. for you. And I will keep you all posted on the extraction project. Meanwhile, these are the records I copied Friday night. Let me know if you would like me to post transcriptions of any of these to ARDREW: Eli Barkley KNOWLES, born May 11, 1890 Florence KNOWLES, born Sept. 15, 1898 Jessie James KNOWLES, born Sep 8, 1891 Richard Henry KNOWLES, born Dec. 27, 1885 William Albert KNOWLES, born July 10, 1896 William Matthew KNOWLES, born Nov. 8, 1873 Benjamin A. LOVELESS s, born Jan'y 12, 1897 John Archie LOVELESS, born Oct. 2, 1893 Robert Houston LOVELESS, born April 27, 1895 Robbie Reaves, I was a little amused to see on Uncle Archie's card that his physical build was listed as "Stout"!!! I had thought all our Loveless men were slender. --Melissa
