Notes for Eli S. Jones
His WW I draft registration card, filed 5 June 1917, records Eli Jones, age 21, residence Big Stone, Ky, born 26 May 1896 in Rowan Co., Ky, occupation farming, self employed, married supporting wife and stepfather.
(Since Eli’s father did not die until 1938, he probably means father-in-law rather than stepfather.)
His gravestone lists his date of birth as 26 May 1894, but the 1900 census says May 1896, and the 1910 census gives his age as 14.
