Powell Carpenter ADAMS

1877 -

• Birth	28 Aug 1877	Le Roy, Genesee, NY   [1, 2, 3]
  Military Note	5 Oct 1918	Sheridan, Chautauqua, NY   [3]
  	On October 5, 1918, Powell Carpenter Adams registered for the WWI draft. He is a resident of Sheridan, Chautauqua, NY and was born August 28, 1877. His occupation is Inspector at the Food Administration for the US Government. His nearest relative is Ethel English Adams, wife. There is an entry that says San Juan, Puerto Rico but I cannot read the question. I believe it has something to do with prior service. The registrar states he is of medium height and build and has brown eyes and gray & black hair. In the section for handicap the registrar has written, "no, except says left eye xxxxx (illegible) defective."
