Harry L. Knowlton, husband of Gertrude M. Cross
     Harry Leroy Knowlton, son of Henry Knowlton and Julia A. Farnham, was born on 10 May 1879 at Sangerville, Piscataquis, Maine. Unknown GEDCOM info: 10 MAY 1879.4,1,5

     Due to a need for men to serve during World War I, the United States instituted a draft. The first registration was for men between the ages of 21 and 31. As a result, this first registration included men born between June 5, 1886 and June 5, 1896. As World War I continued to escalate, the United States instituted a second draft registration. The second registration was for men who had turned 21 since June 5, 1917, so it added men born between June 5, 1896 and June 5, 1897. Two months later, a supplemental registration was held on August 24, 1918 for men who had become 21 years of age since June 5, 1918, adding the names of men who were born between June 5, 1897 and August 24, 1897. With no end in sight for World War I, the United States instituted it's third and final registration. It included all men who were between the ages of 18 and 21, and 31 to 45 years of age. This added younger men than the previous registrations, those who were born between September 12, 1897 and September 12, 1900; and added an older group of men, born between September 12, 1873 and September 12, 1888. Harry filled out a draft card for World War I on 12 September 1918 (at age 39), while living at Sangerville, Piscataquis, Maine. Unknown GEDCOM info: 12 SEP 1918 He was described as tall, stout build, grey eyes, and grey hair. At the time he was working as a rural mail carrier He was described as height..9
