George E. Boström, son of George (Sr) and Esther W. Boström
     George Edwin Boström Jr., son of Rev. George Edwin Boström and Esther W. Larson, was born on 17 December 1924 at Cook, Illinois.1

     The U.S. officially entered World War II on 8 December 1941 following an attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Just about a year before that, in October 1940, President Roosevelt had signed into law the first peacetime selective service draft in U.S. history, due to rising world conflicts. After the U.S. entered WWII a new selective service act required that all men between ages 18 and 65 register for the draft. Between November 1940 and October 1946, over 10 million American men were registered. The Fourth Registration, often referred to as the "old man's registration", was conducted on 27 April 1942 and registered men who born on or between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 - men who were between 45 and 64 years old - and who were not already in the military. George filled out a draft card for World War II on 12 April 1946 (at age 21), while living at 4209 North Mason, Tacoma, Pierce, Washington. His father was contact person.3

     George died on 29 September 1989, at age 64,4 and was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery, Oneonta, Blount, Alabama.5
