Hello, I have discovered that a proper marriage application was never applied for on relatives of mine. Does anyone know the legal ramifications on the families who came after this couple? ( Being of good humor myself, I can "hear" the jokes, but once we have a laugh over this, should I be concerned?) TY--------Cece

Helen and others, Records for U.S. Army officers who separated after June 30, 1917, and enlisted personnel who separated after October 31, 1912 are held at the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO. However due to a fire in 1973 around 80% of the records between 1917 (Officers) or 1912 (Enlisted) up to 1956 were destroyed. So most of all WWI and WWII service records were destroyed. You might get lucky and find your ancestor's records survived, but the odds are against you. Joel

Hi Helen, The 308th Field Signal Battalion was originally part of the 83rd Division of the AEF. They had initially been formed as a line division on the western front. But there was a dire need for Depot Divisions to support the AEF. They began to stage via Camp Merritt in New Jersey, and sailed to France during the late spring of 1918. Most of the division arrived in France by June 28th, 1918. However the previous day the 83rd was re-designated the 2nd Depot division and the division was stripped of some units. Among these was the 308th Field Signal Battalion. I'm not sure what unit they were assigned to after that, but I believe they were sent on to Cherbourg. You might be interested in this picture: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/preservation/dav2/pg243.htm Aviation was originally assigned to the Signal Corps and remained a part of the Signal Corps until May 1918 when it became the Air Service. Eddie Rickenbacker joined the Army in April 1917 and was assigned as a driver with General Pershings Staff in France. He met Billy Mitchell who helped him get into Aviation and he was assigned to the 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron in March 1918. I find it quite doubtful that they men flew together, especially since Elmer M. Cox was a Private. They may have met somewhere along the line or been in units with close proximity to each other, but I suspect that is it. Run some Google searches and you can find plenty of info on Eddie Rickenbacker.

According to information found within the Civil War Pension File of JULIUS UPDEGRAFF, his widow, MATILDA, was dropped from the widow's pension rolls as of 23 Jan 1918 due to death. A copy of this death notification along with last pension check was being sent back to the US Finance Office from the Disbursing Office of a Soldier's Home in Indiana. From other information recieved, this home was possibly located in Marion County Indiana. Can someone verify: 1. that there was a National Veterans Home located in Marion County? If so, does it still exist? Any updated address would be most appreciated. 2. that widows were entitled to live there? Julius Updegraff resided at the Danville Illinois home until his death in 1913; Information rec'd states that widows DID NOT reside at the Danville ILL home. While Julius was in residence there, Matilda gave her address as 1951 Ralston Avenue in Indianapolis. Any assistance or further information would be most appreciated.
