Here are a few of the many distortions from the correct form, in which Mr. Stitt has received mail and other communications: "Stich," "Stick," "Slip," Still," "Slitt," "Stull," "Stutts," "Stilt," "Strutt."

For some time, the office has been managed by T. B.

FORSBURG BUYS GARAGE AND SKATING RINK In the last few weeks, a business deal of considerable magnitude has been developing, and it has now been closed. In the first place, Col. T. B. Forsburg, who has been the manager of the Trainer & Troutman garage, purchased that business complete and is now the owner. He next began to look about for a location that would give him more room and enable him to have the business all together. After some negotiation, he closed a deal for the Smith skating rink. He has moved the repair shop from the hill to rooms in the lower part of the building. This winter the upper floor will be used as before as a skating rink, and in the spring, after the floor is raised to the level of the street, the large room will be used as a sales room for the display of the popular Ford and Overland cars. Col. Forsburg is not only a hustler for business, but has a geniality and a big streak of humanity in his make-up which makes him very successful, and we trust his enlarged endeavors will be equally satisfactory.

National Guard Service which he reported in his World War I draft registration, we have found no record that Jackson V. Blair Jr. served in the U.S. military. In his WW I draft registration of May 1917, he claims exemption from the military draft, citing his prominent position with the Internal Revenue Service. However, his death certificate indicates that he served in World War I, and research by historian Judi Tarowsky has found credible evidence that he served in the short-lived West Virginia Flying Corps. http://wvpublic.org/post/july-26-1917-west-virginia-flying-corps-commissioned#stream/0 http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/putnam_news/w-va-native-started-the-west-virginia-flying-corps-sacrificed/article_1fd4c281-61bf-5e6d-af35-7306599c0f9c.html http://americanhistory.si.edu/blog/WWI-letter https://news.lib.wvu.edu/2017/10/23/west-virginias-own-world-war-i-flying-ace-louis-bennett-1894-1918/ http://www.tellerjuditarowsky.com | BLAIR, Jackson VanBuren Jr. (I75335)
