Herman Handler ~ Draft Card WWI

The World War I Draft Card for Herman Handler confirms some information that I have previously found for him and adds to that information.

"World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918," digital image, Ancestry (https://www.ancestry.com : accessed 12 November 2018), Herman Handler, serial no. 3604, order no. A7187, Draft Board 5, Summit County, Ohio;
citing World War I Selective Service System Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918, NARA microfilm publication M1509; Family History Library Roll No. 1819623.

Herman Handler lived at 107 S. Portage Path, Akron, Ohio. He was 36 years old, born 10 February 1882 and is a naturalized citizen. His occupation is Saloon Business and he lists "none" for employer's name, suggesting he was the owner of a saloon, which was located at 1223 Sweitzer Ave., Akron. Herman's nearest relative was Sarah Handler at 107 S. Portage Path, Akron. The description of Herman notes that he was tall, with blue eyes and dark hair.

Herman's draft registration was part of the third registration, in September 1918, just a couple of months before the war ended.

Out of curiosity, I looked back at Joe Handler's World War I Draft Card. (He also lived in Akron at this time.)

Joe Handler lived at 646 Bell Ave in Akron, was 34, born on 24 August 1884, and had only just started his naturalization process. His nearest relative was his wife, Lena Handler, also at 646 Bell Ave.

His occupation: Bar Tender for Handler + Weinberg at 1223 Sweitzer in Akron. It appears that Joe Handler was working for Herman at his Saloon Business. Another clue that they are very likely relatives.

1223 Sweitzer Avenue in Akron is currently an empty lot.
