Notes for Hiram Purvis
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Hiram Pervis, age 37, residence Olive Hill, Carter Co., Ky, born 16 Feb 1881, occupation brickyarding, employer Harbison Walker Co., Olive Hill, Carter Co., Ky, nearest relative Lucy Pervis, wife, Logan, W.Va.
The reported birthdate is only 10 months after that of his brother James. The 1900 census listed him as born Apr 1882. The birth months on that census for that family are inconsistent with other records3, so I do not trust the April part, but early 1882 fits much better with the child spacing than 1881.
