Beyond our Elusive William Daniel

World War I Draft Registration:
His name was John Holland Templeton, and he resided on Richland St. in San Saba, TX. He was born 7 Oct 1882, and was 35 years of age. His occupation is hard to read, but it says he was a manager of something that had to do with farmers and merchants. Ola E. Templeton was his next of kin. He was medium height, blue eyes, and light brown hair.

On his death certificate Otis Stewart was the informant.
