Notes for Jessie Crose
His WWI Draft Registration card, issued in 1917/1918 (the images on Ancestry do not show the side of the card that has the date it was filed), says Jesse Crose, age 29, residence Clearfield, Ky, born 12 Jan 1888 in Elliottsville, Ky, occupation laborer in board mill, employer Clearfield Lumber Co, married supporting a wife.
Notes for Jessie & Laura May (Family)
Rowan Co. marriage book 6, p. 583, records marriage on 15 May 1909 of Jessie Crose, 19, s/o Abraham & Martha Crose, to Laura May Dehart, 18, d/o Wm. J. & Susie Dehart, by F. M. Crisp at his house in Elliott Co., witnesses David Clark & Boon Dehart. (This is the only official record I have in which the middle initial of Susie's husband is given as "J." Usually it is "P".)
The age for Jessie on the marriage record (19) is in conflict with his draft registration and his cemetery inscription, which both say he was born 12 Jan 1888 (which would make him 21 in 1909), and with the 1900 census, which lists him as age 16, b. Mar 1884 (which would make him 25 in 1909.) The birthdates in the 1900 census of Rowan Co. are largely fictional, so I don't put much store by them.
