Notes for John Ellick McClurg
His WW I draft registration card, filed 5 June 1917, records John Ellick McClurg, age 28, residence Farmers, Ky, born 28 Dec 1889 in Rowan Co., Ky, occupation farmer, employer S. M. Bradley, married supporting a wife and 4 children, exemption claimed due to lost 2 fingers.
The reported birthdate is probably incorrect; he was listed as age 16 born April 1884 in the 1900 census (but that census is wildly inaccurate3 for the entire family - it is off by about 12 years for his father!), as age 22 in the 1910 census and age 32 in the 1920 census, and his gravestone has the dates 1887 - 1969.
Be careful not to confuse him with John Wallace McClurg (born 10 days later, on 8 Jan 1888), who married first Bertha Adkins, and second Lona Ward.
