Charles Ellis Draft Card

Draft Card of Charles Ellis

ELLIS, CHARLIE (1899-unknown): There is little known about the origins of Charlie Ellis, other than he along with his wife Mrs. Charles Ellis, were recorded on previous surveys listing them to have been interred at St. John's Cemetery and a draft card listing him as possibly serving in World War I. Charles was born on the 24th of August, 1899. His draft card shows that he was employed as a farm laborer in Pilot Point at the time he was drafted, at only age 19.  He was married, and it is assumed that his wife, name unknown, is buried with him.
