Here is an image of Frank Erwin Ducklow's signature copied from his WWI draft registration card. Frank is George and Emma Ducklow's fourth child, born February 17, 1885. World War I started in 1914, so Frank was about 29 year old when he registered for the draft. At this point in his life, he had married Jessie Lousie Roatch his second wife.

Frank had two living sons in 1914: Willis and Gerald. Gerald was born in July of that year, with Jessie as his mother. Willis' mother Francis Mary Prine died shortly after Willis's birth in 1910 from measles.
