WWII Draft Registration Cards - Check both sides

Tuesday's Tip:   Remember to check the backside of the draft registration card.

Note that the reverse side of the registration card gives a decent physical description of the individual in addition to the date of filing.

U.S. World War II Draft Registration Card

for Andrew Kolbush dated 4/27/1942.

Andrew listed his younger brother, Joseph, as his contact. Joseph soon after enlisted on 23 Jun 1942 at the age of 41 yrs.
It is interesting to me that nowhere on this card is there an indication that Andrew served in WW1 and was disabled.

Passenger George (Wojcieck) Kolbush

With the partial indexing of the Hamburg Passenger Lists now available on Ancestry.com I have finally been able to locate an immigration record of our ancestor George Ignatz Kolbush (Wojcieck Kolbusz) of Losnica/Loznica, Poland. I had known from the 1900 census record that he arrived in 1888.  A revisiting of Ancestry's immigration database has finally yielded results.  He is listed at the top of the page of this passenger list dated 1 May 1888.

Beverly National Cemetery

Beverly National Cemetery, located in Burlington County, New Jersey, was established in 1864. It began as a single acre off of Beverly's Monument Cemetery, purchased from a local resident in 1863 for the purpose of interring Union Army casualties who died in the civil war era Beverly United States Army hospital. Of the original 147 Union soldiers buried at Beverly National Cemetery, only 10 are unknown.

For much of its history, the cemetery handled relatively few interments. But that changed significantly when space became unavailable at Philadelphia National Cemetery, and it is now closed to new interments.

Beverly National Cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
