Notes for Carl Fort Ewers
Middle name of Fort is from WW I and WW II draft registration cards (obtained from Ancestry.com). Also, in the 1930 census his age at first marriage was listed as 22 and on the marriage certificate for his marriage with Lillie Raffety he was listed as divorced, so it looks like he had an earlier marriage. His gravestone, pictured on Find A Grave (listing for Carl Fort Ewers), shows that he was a cook in the U.S. Army in World War I.
Odd variations in his birth year -- On his WW I draft registration card, his birth date is listed as 3 Nov 1890. On his WW II draft registration card, his birth date is listed as 3 Nov 1889. On death records (California Death Index and Social Security Death Index), his birth is listed as 3 Nov 1888. (All of these obtained from Ancestry.com.) His gravestone, pictured on Find A Grave (listing for Carl Fort Ewers), shows 3 Nov 1888.
