Surnames: Billeen, Hess, Lush, Farwell Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1711.7.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Kathy: I notice that when assignments of draft numbers were made during World War 1, that Billeen (# 957) had an address of Farragut, Hess (# 980) of Northboro (Missouri), and Lush (#985) also of Northboro. This means that Hess and Lush lived in southeastern Locust Grove, near the Missouri line. Since transportation at that time wasn't as mobile as now, I am wondering if there is information about these two in Atchison county, Missouri!?!? Their draft numbers were so far from the ones that were last called up, that I doubt there would be much chance of more information from that source. My dad's number was 871, and he said he was quite a ways away from those who were last to be called into service. (I wonder if I can find who the men were to be last called!) --Walter
