Lawrence registered for the draft on 16 October 1940 in Cleveland, Ohio. Here is what it reads on the back of his draft card. Very interesting is that it reads he had RED hair.

Research Notes

Lawerence Jr is dead but Antia and Gary are still living as this time. I added them in the 1950's US Census. Grace name has two different last names in several records. So far Find A grave is my only soure for his death. There are local newspaper article Cleveland Plain Dealer had an death notice but its only ina paid site Genealogybank.

Research Notes

In the 1930 census, their last name is spelt wrong it should be Porcello.
