On 6 April 1917, the United States declared war on Germany and officially entered World War I. Every male living within the U.S. between the ages of 18 and 45 was required to register for the draft during one of three separate registration periods. The third registration was held on 12 September 1918 for men aged 18 to 21 and 31 to 45. At age 18, William registered in Marshall County, West Virginia, on 2 September 1918. (Either he registered ten days early or the registrar only wrote "2" instead of "12" for the day.) William was described as follows: tall, medium build, brown eyes, brown hair.1

As of 2 September 1918, William was employed as a tin worker at Crystal and Evans Tin Company, Warwood, Ohio County, West Virginia.1 He was living at 20 Locas Avenue (presumed to be a misspelling of Locust Avenue) in his parents' home at Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia.1

On 3 July 1919 in Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia, William applied for a marriage license with Ella M. Willis, daughter of Henry Willis and Mary (unknown).2 At that time, they were both living at Moundsville.2 The couple's marriage took place on 5 July 1919 at Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia. James B. Smith certified that he united them in marriage.2

William died in 1964;3 his body was interred in the Greenlawn Cemetery, Moundsville, Marshall County, West Virginia.3

Thomas Frank Summers1,2

ID#1671, b. 16 June 1903, d. 1 February 1979
Father: Thomas Franklin Summers
Mother: Rachel Ann Elliott

Birth date: 16 June 1903
Birth place: Barnes Run, Calhoun County, West Virginia.3

I had originally found a birth record for Thomas dated 16 June 1904 showing his name as T. F. Summers with parents being Rachel Summers and Tom Summers. This information had been reported by the assessor, but there was no reason to assume it was inaccurate.1 However, I started looking at it a little harder after stumbling across the birth record for Thomas Church exactly one year earlier showing no father but the mother was Rachel Church nee Elliott.3 My theory on what must have happened is this:
(1) Rachel Elliott married George W. Church, who died in 1901 and left her a 26-year-old widow with five children.
(2) Rachel continued using the last name of Church, and when her sixth child was born on 16 June 1903, he was named Thomas F. Church. The father's identity was not reported.
(3) On 14 April 1905, Rachel Church married Thomas Franklin Summers; however, they may have been living together before that. Consider that it was an assessor who reported the birth of Thomas as being on 16 June 1904 ... if the couple was living together when the assessor visited, he/she probably assumed they were married and that the young boy's last name was Summers. In fact, Rachel's surname was entered as Summers, although she had not yet remarried.
(4) The assessor reported the correct month and day for Thomas' birth, but an incorrect year. At first I thought maybe the incorrect year had been reported by the parents to hide the fact that Thomas was born before Rachel and Tom were married. However, remembering that their marriage record is in 1905, that seems much less likely to be the case as those kind of cover-ups are generally only off by one year, not two. It's also possible that the year was mis-written by a clerk as most of the entries on that page were in 1904.
(5) Nevertheless, it seems to be a safe bet that Tom was in fact Thomas' father - especially as Rachel named her baby Thomas Frank. While Thomas was born with the surname Church, he obviously used Summers, as reflected by documents throughout his life.
(6) One last thought is that perhaps the birth register entry giving Thomas' surname as Church was the real error in this scenario. While Rachel's surname was still Church when he was born, she may have decided to give him the surname of his father, Summers, but that decision may have not been reflected in the birth register. A clerk may have mistakenly assumed that without the presence of the father's name, the baby would have the mother's surname. In this case, he would have been Thomas Frank Summers all of his life, regardless of what appeared on the birth record!3


Commonly known by his middle name, Frank.

Thomas apparently married Esther Hanby, daughter of Hollis G. Hanby and Lulu Ethel Tavenner, about 1931. Both are identified as single in the 1930 census, and Esther was living with her parents. By the 1940 census, Frank and Esther are married with three children, the oldest reported as eight years old.4,5

At age 75, Thomas died on 1 February 1979 at Knox Community Hospital, Mount Vernon, Knox County, Ohio.6,7 He was interred in the Mount Vernon Memorial Gardens, Mount Vernon, Knox County, Ohio.8
