Letter from the Editor:
Dewey was the fourth child of Andrew and Pearl O'Neal of Davin, West Virginia. I was researching the Logann County files and found a record of his registration for the draft on October 16, 1940. Interestingly enough this record indicated he was born on October 5. 1917 however his tombstone was engraved with his date of birth as being November 10 1918. I was fascinated to see some interesting details that the record contained. It provided the name of his employer in 1940 as well as his height, weight, hair and eye color, as well as the name of his spouse.
Logan County, West Virginia didn't have the birth record available online. I think sometimes when you find a record you have to compare it with several others to truly confirm the accuracy.
