World War I draftees taken at Seminole, OK in 1917. The first draft registration on 5 June 1917 was for men aged twenty-one to thirty-one—men born between 6 June 1886 and 5 June 1896. Writing on the photo indicates the "First Seminole Co. contingent left Sept. 20, 1917". Monteith Photo, Wewoka is written in the bottom right corner. My Mother Annie Fallin Hayes (1907-1998) identified and signed the picture. Her father and my grandfather Joel H. Fallin (1876-1944) is on the extreme left, front row, holding a white hat on his knee or foot. I am not certain why he appears in the picture as he was listed in the third draft registration in 1918. The picture may be of interest to some and perhaps they could identify their ancestor or kin by using the draft registration records found in several places online.
