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 42, Percy registered in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio, and was described as follows: medium height, stout build, blue eyes, brown hair.⁴ He was in business as a civil engineer⁴ and was living at 708 Market Street, Steubenville, Ohio.⁴

As of 2 May 1933 when his father died, Percy was living in Steubenville, Jefferson County, Ohio.¹

Robert and Pearl Hanen Harris obtained a marriage license on 27 November 1901 in Ohio County, West Virginia.¹ As of that date, he was living at Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.¹ The couple's marriage took place on 28 November 1901 at Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia. Samuel Haner certified that he united them in marriage. Although his surname appears to end with an "r" (handwritten differently from the "n" at the end of Pearl's name), I can't help but wonder if he might have been a Hanen also, possibly related to Pearl.¹
