THE PARIS NEWS, Friday, October 25, 1940, p. 1, 6-9: Draft numbers, with the names and addresses of all the men who registered under the Selective Service Act October 16, are to be found in the Paris News today. The series of both Lamar County boards, totaling 5,791 names, are to be found from pages 6 to 9. The numbers are listed serially and it will be necessary to check the list until the registrant’s name can be found. With the vast number of men registering, it was impossible to arrange the names in alphabetical order after they had been serially arranged by the draft boards. Serial Number: 459; Name: Manton Lavel Terry; Address: Blossom, Rt. 1. On the same stone with Mary Helen Terry. Also has military marker inscribed, "Corporal US Army World War II." Buried next to H. Clark Terry. |
