Now, for my Granath cousins. A little further back for today's post. This is Pappy (Walter Edward
Granath)'s WW1 draft registration card. June 2, 1917. Two interesting
facts. He put his birthdate as 1892, when I'm fairly certain it was
1891 (maybe he was supposed to register before turning 25, so he
'miswrote' it? very commonly done!!!) and also, they were about 4
months pregnant with Ruby. Another thing that I know. His oldest
brother, John Preston Granath, was unsure of his own birth year, as he
says on an oral history tape, "I was there, but I don't remember the
exact year, ya know!"
