Notes for Alfred F. Prather
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Alfred F. Prather, age 45, residence Camp #1, Flagstaff, Coconino Co., Arizona, born 7 Jan 1873, occupation truck loader, employer Elly Edward McCoy, Camp One, Flagstaff, Arizona, nearest relative Ely Franklin Prather, Morehead, Kentucky.
Since Frank and Georgia Ann were not married until March 1873, it is probable that the birthdate is one year off in this record. (Alfred was listed as age 6 in the 1880 census, taken in June, and as age 25 born Jan 1875 in the 1900 census, taken in April.)

1930 census of Coconino Co., Arizona, Grand Canyon precinct, enumerated 28 April, lists on p. 3A, line 42:

There are no relationships indicated. The entire page and part of the pages before and after are laborers at the Saguaro Logging Camp.
