I wrote about Flanders being 20 years older than my sister, Mary Jo. I should have said "to the day". Mary Jo was born April 25, 1937 so Flanders must have been born April 25, 1917-EXCEPT- I remember hearing that he added a year to his age to enable him to join something-maybe the National Guard? So the date might vary by one year, but that's pretty darn close. Good luck in your hunting. Doris Albritton Smith

Maybe he was enrolling in the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corp during the big depression of the 1930s) There are records available for this organization.
