Jordan - Jacobs Cemetery, 54-1 Summary Report, page 21

---

Elle / Ellie / Ella Jacobs was not found in the 1920 (or 1930 census, as expected, since his death date was 1926). However, he was found in the World War I Draft Registration records. He completed and signed his own registration card (was literate, versus others who made their “mark”). He gave his name as Ellie Jacobs on September 12, 1918. He listed his age as 36, and the month of his birth as February of 1882, without giving the exact day of the month. He noted that his occupation was “farmer”, employed by Jack Clift in the town of Madison, Alabama. He listed his “Nearest Relative” as Parlee Jacobs of Huntsville, Alabama. The local draft board representative provided information that described Ellie Jacobs as being of medium height and medium build, but he provided nothing for the color of eyes. He did indicate that Ellie had suffered no loss of limbs or other disqualification for military duty. 21 - (2108)
