Hi Lillian, I just received a packet pertaining to my grandpa's claim (in Arkansas) and it did have his signature on 4 or 5 documents. I can verify that it was his actual signature. Most of the forms were filled out by the agent, but there were also a few hand written notes from grandpa. I found the documents and other papers pretty interesting.
