He registered for the draft in September of 1917. Albert was born the 23rd of May 1895 in Wayne County, MO. and died 19th of Jan 1919, 6 months after his marriage, while still in the service. His gravesite shows he was in Company D 69th Infantry, with the inscription "He died for his Country." Clara re-married six months later to (2) Frank J. Sitzes, August 19th 1919. She died of Tuberculosis in 1926, being just 28 years old.
Note: Clara was listed in 1900 & 1910 as Clara E. White in Wayne Co & Madison Co, MO Census Records, but several places show her name as Clora, plus being listed as Cora in one of her half-brother's obituary?
Thank you Dennis & Linda, I was not aware that Clara had been married previously. Darlene White Cole/SuzyQ
