How it is shown: Displayed as the crop of the right-hand page only; the left page, which shows a different applicant and his portrait, is not shown.
Keep in mind: What the page says: signed 'Nat Ligon'; 'attorney at law'; birth 1 Sept 1888 at Gloster, Miss. (Amite County); father 'W. O. Ligon, Senior,' born in Mississippi and living at Gloster; permanent residence Tulsa. The father's birthplace and parentage are recorded only and not resolved here. Whether these are our people: Confirmed that this is the same man as the 1917 draft-card registrant; Likely that he is the tree's Emmons Nathaniel 'E. Nat' Ligon and that 'W. O. Ligon, Senior' is William Orlando Ligon Sr. (1846-1929), the registry's two tagged persons.
